<description>&#60;p&#62;It appears there is something wrong with the PAD submission for freeware applications, while trying to submit mine it didn't work. It says &#34;Service Unavailable&#34;. The PAD file works as I have added it to over 10 software websites.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Does anyone know what could be causing this?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Kind Regards&#60;br /&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Actually, I couldn't remember her name at first, I wrote in my review that it reminded me of that Irish singer, lol. I've only got her music on Vinyl (plus one cassete tape that the Irish girl I used to go out with gave me) So it's time to update to the 21st century.  I don't like having to re-buy all my old music though, but at least you can say you're getting clean copies.  I'm thinking of buying one of those record decks that you can plug into the computer via a converter so that I can convert all my hundreds of albums.  I've got Cool Edit, which will enable me to clean up all the crackles and filter out the scratches, though it's a time consuming job.  (Maybe the cost of the converters and the time and effort that's  going to be required would make it a better option to rebuy the music.  Most of the albums I bought were only based on one song that I'd heard and bought the album for.  (Apart from some classics)

<description>&#60;p&#62;WR and Buckleysmom, thanks for mentioning Enya. I honestly did not even know about her until you two mentioned her. I have spent the last hour or so listening to her music on YouTube, and heard a few songs I've heard on movies and such. She is beautiful to listen to. :D

<description>&#60;p&#62;Sorry about the first link, I didn't check properly.  Most converters do have an ogg option.  At least the second one does.  I couldn't believe that i couldn't remember the name Enya.  i used to listen to Enya a lot in the mid to late 80's.  I was introduced to her whn I met an Irish girl at university.  Enya always reminds me of her.  Beautiful music.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I actually prefere the giveaway from early 2007 called Joyce's Audio Converter.  But it's only because I used it when I fst got it and have used it ever since.  there's a plethora of audio converters on the market these days.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I tried the converter found via the second link and found it worked okay.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

<description>&#60;p&#62;Just to add in about converting the music file, the game's file is .ogg and todays giveaway software just happens to be able to convert mp3, wav, and wma files into ogg. Good timing :)

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hey WhiteRabbit....how ya doin? I think the singer is Enya(sp)? Sounds like her anyway. Of the 2 links you gave for the music file converters I could only get the 2'nd one to open. I'll search for the other one, but wanted to let  you know. Also, I was just wondering if you have a preference of converters....you know, the one that works best with least amount of problems? I've never used one but I've been wanting to give it a try. Thanks for another great review.&#60;br /&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Introduction&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62;:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Today’s game activates easily and creates a desktop icon and a start menu program group where you’ll find the uninstall link if you decide not to keep this game. I was unable to choose the path I wanted to install the game to.  When I tried using the browse button, whatever path I wrote apart from the original, the proceed button remained greyed out.  I have loads of Mah-jong games, but not this one so will be happy to add it to my collection of Mah-jong games. I’ve been a lover of Mah-jong since I discovered it back in the early 70’s, when I bought a set that resembled a real Ivory set, though mine is resin and bamboo as opposed to Ivory and Bamboo, still it’s a beautiful set that’s been discarded for the computer versions.  Though all the Mah-jong games I have (I’ve listed them in the similar games section below) are solitaire versions as opposed to the four player variety.  I’ve not found one of those yet, so if anyone has a four player version I’d love to hear about it.  :lol:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The installed game is only 7.08Mb in size and when&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The Game&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62;:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The game opens up in windowed mode, so if you prefer full screen just go to the options menu where you’ll find a toggle to switch to full screen.  You’ll also find toggles to switch on or off a timer, grid, hints and a facility for darkening locked tiles which will help those that are sight impaired, as well as the usual music and sound sliders.  The help page is very basic, but adequately explains the ‘rules’ of Mah-jong, which are very simple.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There’s not much else to say about the game apart from it’s got a gorgeous music track to accompany you through the game, though there’s only the one song, so even that gets a little tired after 20 minutes of play.  It should be possible to splice together several tracks then rename them to the file that’s found in the games folder (see below for details). There’s also loads of gorgeous background images that change every so often, or if you decide to shuffle the board.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There are 100 boards to choose from as well as the potential to make as many more as you like via the editor that comes packaged with the game.  Of the standard boards, you can see how many tiles there are by clicking on the board once.  These vary from around 50 tiles to 300 &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There is the facility to shuffle the tiles which is great if you get stuck.  You can also save your progress at any time.  There are buttons to undo or redo any changes or moves you’ve made, and when you re-shuffle there’s a forwards and backwards button to undo or redo changes.   You can load all saved games from the main selection board.  You can toggle on the timer, but this has no effect on the game. There’s a high score table, but this is based on the number of tiles you match and not the speed at which you play the game, therefore  it seems meaningless when you are comparing games with such a wide variety of tile numbers.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;The Editor&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62;:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The editor is very simple to use.  To access the editor you have to click on the Play button. This brings up the board selection panel where you’ll find a button for the editor at the bottom of the screen.  Clicking on this brings you to the editor.  You just have to left click on the board with your mouse to create any pattern you care to think of.  To remove a tile you right click on it.  All tiles appear blank.  Each new layer added to the pattern appears as a different colour.  Once you’ve finished your masterpiece you just have to click on save name the custom board then click okay.  To play your custom board, exit the editor and then select custom.  This will bring up all the custom boards you’ve created though they are shown in alphabetical order though the name is replaced by a number.  You can return to any custom made board at any time and edit it.&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Music&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The music reminds me of that Irish female singer that was big in the 80’s, can’t remember her name offhand, but the vocals are gorgeous.  There s a single 3.28minute track which is in the .ogg format, so if you use windows media player you’ll need to convert the file using one of the many audio converters that are available.  There’s a couple in the audio section of the freeware library that’ll do the job nicely.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/2008/04/28/daniusoft-mp3-wav-converter/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/2008/04/28/daniusoft-mp3-wav-converter/&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;or&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/2007/07/30/free-mp3-wma-wav-converter/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/freeware/2007/07/30/free-mp3-wma-wav-converter/&#60;/a&#62; &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;This track is definitely one for my music folder. You can find the music file  in the games folder by following the path below where …. Is the path you’ve installed the game to.  I had to install the game to its default path because it wouldn’t let me choose my own, so I had to move it to my games folder once it had been installed:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;C:\......... Mahjong Epic\data\music&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Conclusion&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62;:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What makes this game stand out from most other Mah-jong games is its editor.  Most don’t include one, so with this you’ve got an unlimited supply of boards to play with; you just have to let your imagination roam.  :lol:  I like the background changes and the music is very mellow; which is ideal for such a game, though as mentioned above it can get a little tedious if you play the game for long spells at a time.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Oh yeah, the game is free standing, which means you can play it from any media including discs and pen drives. And you can transfer the game to any other computer once it’s been installed from the giveaway installer. Nice one.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Despite having loads of mah-jongg games that are visually more stunning and ones that have different modes and the ability to change the style of the tiles, I think this is a worthy companion to those games and I’d give it a decent 7 out of 10.  I don’t think it’s the best mah-jong game I’ve got, but with the editor it’s definitely worth keeping (IMO).&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;You’ll find a brief history of the game.  The download link is on the second page.  I’ve scanned the file for viruses because site advisor gave the site a ?.  I’m not as confident f Site advisors ratings any more since seeing the giveaway site marked red for the past several months despite the offending files were removed (which were posted in the freeware section I believe).  Watch out when you’re installing the game though because at the end of the wizard there’s a check box that’s checked that will take you to free access codes for free VIPGames.  I didn’t want to risk allowing access, just in case, but it is probably a valid offer. It’s a downloadable miniclip game, so you will need to allow active X controls to be installed onto your computer.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There’s also nearly 30 shareware Mah-jong games available from the link below.  You’ll find some of the ones I’ve listed above at tis site, and there’s loads more if you Google Free Mah-jong games, though if you don’t have a WOT rating and/or Site Advisor, I’d tread carefully because some of the sites I saw were rated red.  I ended up getting my browser hijacked by one of those smiley sies when I went to a '?' one.  At the moment I trust the WOT rating more than site advisor, so will often open red sites in a sandbox and so far haven’t come across any problems when I do that.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I'll be updating this thread with a list of threads that contain links to free games sometime soon.  As robm says, it's a good idea to keep them all in one place, though I also think that if you have named games such as the Cradle of Persia game from a few weeks ago (no longer available by the way)it sould also be posted as a seperate thread so that you can see the name in the threads.  Oay it's a pain posting twice, but it helps to stop threads being buried as the number of forum threads are increasing every day (ob' lol)&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Thanks Catnip, there are a couple here which haven't been posted before. Also scroll up this page and previous for some more links to free games.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It is easier for us all if we try to keep the free game links on the one thread. Cheers!

<description>&#60;p&#62;I only have a second, so I hope that I'm repeating games that have already been listed. I wanted to post quickly before I have to leave.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you like adventure games, especially mysteries, you might like to try these:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://www.lostspell.com/hidden/hidden-chapter-1-primitive-essence.php&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.lostspell.com/hidden/hidden-chapter-1-primitive-essence.php&#60;/a&#62;&#60;br /&#62;

&#60;p&#62;And here's a free adventure game download in the vein of the old Sierra King's Quest games:&#60;br /&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I'm not sure whether I've posted details of Arcamania 2 Retro in the above thread, so will do so again.  I've just posted a thread with some free games from 300AD, which contains Arcamania 2 retro an arkanoid, so thought it appropriate to link the thread here:&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;It's an excellent, but very hard arkanoid to beat.  (I've still to complete all three of the arcamania games)&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I've just posted a seperate link to an free arkanoid called Deep Ball Defender that I nearly bought a few years ago, but forgot about until recently.  I was going to buy it from BDStudios the developers, but they have taken it off their sales list and are now giving it away free provided you subscribe to their news letter.  There's four other games for free as well, however these can be got free elsewhere as well.  Follow the link below to go to the thread i've posted about these games as well as Deep Ball Defender:&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Stephen, that shouldn't really be a problem, that's just a setting on individual PC's. Nothing untoward there (I don't believe anyway). Thanks for your ingenuity though.

<description>&#60;p&#62;WhiteRabbit.....excellent advice on the computer clock reset! Thanks for posting it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I did that same kind of thing back when everyone was afraid of computers crashing when the year 2000 came.  On New Year's eve, I simply reset my old PC back about 10 years, and I never had a problem. After all, the PC only thinks it's a certain date because it is told it is.  I may not have had a problem anyway, but better safe than sorry.

<description>&#60;p&#62;The link to the free version of &#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Cradle of Persia&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62; has been removed because the set up file was only active for four days.To anyone who downloaded that game and kept the original set up file; if you try to use it now you will find that it no longer works; however, if you reset your computers clock 'temporarily' to the date you originally downloaded the set up file, you will find the set up ill work.  Once the game has been installed you can then change the date back to the correct adate. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If you can't remember when you downloaded the file, right click on the set up file and select properties.  From the information given in the window pane you can see when the file was created, which is the date it was downloaded.  Use that date to be able to reuse the set up file.  &#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Cradle of Persia&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62; is similar to games such as &#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Age of Japan&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62;, &#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Rise of Atlantis&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62; and &#60;em&#62;&#60;strong&#62;Big Kahuna Reef&#60;/strong&#62;&#60;/em&#62;; and in my opinion as good.  It's well worth keeping if you were lucky enought to get the free game.  :)&#60;/p&#62;

&#60;p&#62;If you missed out on &#60;strong&#62;Wondershare DemoCreator,&#60;/strong&#62; try the freeware &#60;strong&#62;CamStudio&#60;/strong&#62;.&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://camstudio.org/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://camstudio.org/&#60;/a&#62;&#60;br /&#62;
&#34;&#60;br /&#62;
From the website:&#60;br /&#62;
&#34;CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs).&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Here are just a few ways you can use this software:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;    * You can use it to create demonstration videos for any software program&#60;br /&#62;
    * Or how about creating a set of videos answering your most frequently asked questions?&#60;br /&#62;
    * You can create video tutorials for school or college class&#60;br /&#62;
    * You can use it to record a recurring problem with your computer so you can show technical support people&#60;br /&#62;
    * You can use it to create video-based information products you can sell&#60;br /&#62;
    * You can even use it to record new tricks and techniques you discover on your favourite software program, before you forget them&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
