One day not only the game got broken but even the computer. As I was sure that the game destroyed the puter, I didn&#39;t dare to put it on the new machine, win98. Now with Vista and some better understanding of computers I&#39;ll give Silverball a new chance, and now I have lots of time for playing. Let&#39;s see, if it is still as exciting as it was then.<br /> More memories: In times of the good old classic tables I got the nickname &quot;Tilty&quot;.</p> <p>tiltylox </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6132#post-63748 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 15:51:41 +0000 reverseOrder 63748@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I have 2 games today... the forums are different :). Rollerway is a marble rolling game where you have to reach the finish line at the end of the tunnel and avoid falling off. This game is also extremely difficult, and it really needs checkpoints instead of restarting the level when you fall off. I suggest taking things slowly when you get stuck. Silverball 1995 is an abandonware pinball game from Abandonia. The Game Torpedo website also has a few games I haven't seen before so I'll probably post more from there later.</p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Rollerway</strong></p> <p>Rollerway is a fast-paced action game in which you must get the ball to the finish line whilst not falling off the track. There is a total of 15 levels, each getting progressively harder.</p> <p>How to play:<br /> Use the mouse to control the ball (you may also use the arrow keys if enabled). Click to roll forwards and move the mouse sideways to steer the ball. Get the speed boosters (blue lights) and jump boosters (purple lights) which are placed throughout all 15 levels. Enjoy!</p> <p>Note:<br /> In order to enable arrow keys you have to create a shortcut to the game. Right-click on the shortcut and select properties. In the target box add -ENABLEARROWKEYS to the end of the line so it looks like:<br /> "C:\*path*to*location*\Rollerway.exe" -ENABLEARROWKEYS</p> <p><strong>Download (14.6 MB):</strong><br /> Requires DirectX 9.0c</p> <p><a href="http://www.gametorpedo.com/games/rollerway" rel="nofollow">http://www.gametorpedo.com/games/rollerway</a></p> <p>or</p> <p><a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f3905.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f3905.html</a></p> <p>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Silverball 1995</strong></p> <p>Game arcades were an important form of entertainment long before they started using computers to power up sophisticated games to play. After all, even Edison’s motion picture viewing machines were more or less a penny arcade attraction.</p> <p>But there is a machine without which you simply cannot imagine an arcade and that’s the good old pinball machine, with its decades long tradition of producing weird sounds and forcing you to spend both time and money.</p> <p>Apparently pinballs converted quite nicely from the classic tables into computerized version (there are many pinball games confirming this statement).</p> <p>One of familiar names when talking about computerized pinballs is deffinetly Silverball, originally released in 1992. After three years on the market, the game was slightly modified and re-released in 1995 and that’s the version we’ll take a look at today (in the Silverball review by janm.l already on the site it’s mentioned as “Silverball Plus 2”).</p> <p>Well, it seems that there really isn’t much difference between the both games, except for the two added tables you can play (Warbot, and Duel). Here’s a little overview of the tables prepared by WolverineDK (who is also the person you should thank for supplying the game archive):</p> <p>Fantasy table is set in roleplaying setting (meaning dragons and other fantasy creatures are on the table).</p> <p>Nova could be called a tribute to many 2d shooters, meaning there is a big space-jet near the bottom of the table and the game is set in space.</p> <p>Blood table is also set in a fantasy setting, just like Fantasy.</p> <p>Snooker Champ table is a Snooker Billiards themed table.</p> <p>Odyssey is a Greek mythology themed table, with Atlas holding a pinball on his shoulders instead of the world.</p> <p>Warbot is a futuristic robot themed table.</p> <p>And finally Duel, which is a medieval/musketeer(ish) themed pinball table.</p> <p>Controls:<br /> Space - launch ball, nudge table<br /> Left Shift - left flipper<br /> Right Shift - right flipper<br /> Enter - Toggle score display on/off<br /> Ecs - Quit Menu</p> <p><strong>Download (1.27 MB):</strong><br /> Note: Works best in DosBox, I couldn't get it to work properly in XP. Run SILVER to start the game. There seems to be a glitch where it shows two FANTASY tables but the second is actually the NOVA table.</p> <p><a href="http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/1014/Silverball+1995.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/1014/Silverball+1995.html</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4066#post-50035 Tue, 27 Jan 2009 16:23:27 +0000 sadie1lady 50035@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey WR, Thanks for posting the link.

I wasn't able to get the game to work.

I was really looking forwards to playing this game. I bought a copy of Final Fantasy VIII several years ago, but was never able to get it to run on my then computer and whenever I've upgraded or built a new computer I've tried to install the game without success, so I thought with today's free game I'd be finally able to at least experience what all the fuss was about when this game was all the rage.

It actually froze, so undeterred I decided to try one more time and it finally installed okay and the game works perfectly.</p> <p>the only negative thing I would say about this game was the fact that you had to sit through the dialogue at the beginning of the game, which seems to take an inordinate amount of time, otherwise an excellent free game.</p></blockquote> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4275#post-45926 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 02:40:30 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 45926@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Today’s Game is called Final Fantasy: Endless Nova. This game is an independent project from a fan of the series. And plays like your typical Final Fantasy game from the olden days.</p> <p>The programmer did a great job at creating a game that even die hard FF fans would like. The game starts out with a rather lengthy intro about a girl being chased by “the President,” and getting away. The game moves on to see our hero, Derren, collecting money for a job to recapture a stolen weapon from a bad guy named Sho. Derren has a past with Sho that you will later find out.</p> <p>The game does not require dos in order to play the game, but you’ll need to download RTPe.exe (run-time used for RPG Maker) if you don’t have it already. I have provided the link below. The file size for the RTPe is 11mb and the game itself is 6mbs. The game runs fine in Vista 64.</p> <p>Keys are as follows:<br /> Enter – open doors/use items<br /> Arrow Keys – move<br /> Any button on the bottom alphabetical row of keyboard – game menu<br /> Escape – In battle and menus this is used to go back one screen<br /> I give the game an 8/10 because of simple little glitches in the game, and lack of key mapping or readme file. </p> <p>Saving the game can be accessed by talking to a “PoPo” (a little bunny like thing.)</p> <p>RTPe.exe:<br /> <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/17079604/943f9754/RTPe.html?cau2=403tNull" rel="nofollow">http://www.4shared.com/file/17079604/943f9754/RTPe.html?cau2=403tNull</a></p> <p>Download:<br /> <a href="http://abandonia.com/en/games/332/Final+Fantasy+-+Endless+Nova.html" rel="nofollow">http://abandonia.com/en/games/332/Final+Fantasy+-+Endless+Nova.html</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4066#post-43811 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 12:30:17 +0000 nnylrandyb16 43811@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey there are lots of them!

You see, you made the two most important points yourself. I have the time also, since I only work part time, BUT, I am lousy at searching the internet; AND even if I were to strike upon some decent games, am not computer savvy enough to trust what I would come up with on my own. I know that when I click a download link that you have provided it will be safe. And you haven't steered me wrong yet. That, sir, is what makes you so invaluable and a bottomless virtual teacup is headed your way!!! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4066#post-43805 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 11:52:15 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 43805@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Suzi. What I do really is no big deal. Most of the games can easily be found if you know what the name of the game is called. Think of a game you played back in the 90's, then type in download plus the name of the game and you're sure to get some hits (though if you're not using a warning program such as WOT or McAfees Site Advisor I'd be a little wary where you search). Most pre millenium games are probably abandonware now, so its likely that they will be available on sides like <em>abandonia</em>.</p> <p>I'm lucky enough to have the time to do the searching. I appreciate the nice words, but they really arn't necessary. Now go and get me a cup of tea, lol. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4066#post-43774 Sat, 18 Oct 2008 03:35:15 +0000 Suzimac 43774@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Rabbit,<br /> Once again, my kindest regards to you for the reminders at the main site for your game giveaways.

I highly recommend downloading future pinball if you have some spare time. It’s a pinball development package that enables you to design your own table.

Objects like Surfaces, Lights and Rubbers are shapeable within the editor and generated real-time when the table is played. Other objects (Bumpers, Flippers, Gates, Triggers, Targets etc..) use pre-made 3d Models (of which there is a nice selection of each type). </p> <p>The Table logic is scripted in Visual Basic Scripting (via the Microsoft Scripting Technology's built into Microsoft Windows). Scripting is designed to be simple but flexible enough to allow a wide vararity of Original Games to be created. Only a limited subset of the Visual Basic Scripting Language is used as a lot of extra functionality is provided by the game engine. </p> <p>Full Sound / Music Support is also provided with multiple Music Channels to allow cross fading. </p> <p>As Future Pinball is a Game Construction Program it contains some advanced concepts which may require a little bit of time (and patience) to learn and fully understand (such as computer graphics and scripting concepts).</p> </blockquote> <p>Referemce: <a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f3014.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f3014.html</a> accessed 10th Oct 08</p> <p><strong>System Requirements</strong>:</p> <p>Intel Pentium/AMD Athlon processor running 1.8GHz or greater<br /> 256MB RAM<br /> A GeForce/Radeon GFX Card running Vertex/Pixel shaders</p> <p><strong>Download Link</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://www.futurepinball.com/download.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.futurepinball.com/download.html</a></p> <p><strong>PDF document for Future Pinball</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://www.futurepinball.com/downloads/PCWorld_-_Build_Your_Own_Game_-_Future_Pinball.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.futurepinball.com/downloads/PCWorld_-_Build_Your_Own_Game_-_Future_Pinball.pdf</a> </p> <p><a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=akUurP0G8Kk" rel="nofollow">http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=akUurP0G8Kk</a></p> <p><a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-ii89DlrlTk&#38;feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-ii89DlrlTk&#38;feature=related</a></p> <p><a href="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BhPCl1JUrlo&#38;feature=related" rel="nofollow">http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BhPCl1JUrlo&#38;feature=related</a></p> <p><strong>Link to fan made tables using Future Pinball</strong>: 334 free tables</p> <p><a href="http://fprelease.free.fr/" rel="nofollow">http://fprelease.free.fr/</a></p> <p>======================================================================</p> <p><strong>Trap Pinball</strong>: (&lt;1Mb):</p> <p>Modes:<br /> * One ball (one player)<br /> * Time-limited<br /> * 2P Battle ( 2 players simultaneously)<br /> Keys: A and D</p> <p><strong>Download Link</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f151.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f151.html</a> </p> <p>======================================================================<br /> <strong>Visual Pinball</strong>: (3.66Mb)</p> <p><a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f71.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f71.html</a></p> <blockquote><p>Features:</p> <p>Complete freedom over table layout.

You slam the machine with both shifts and deflect the ball with both control buttons.</p> <p>Needles to say the game supports multiplayer and there’s even less need to say that the multiplayer option consists of a hot seat where you and up to three more friends have to take turns (can’t really imagine two people playing pinball simultaneously on the same table).</p> <p>There’s naturally some variety of the tables, where you get different settings, different targets and different scoring system, but every one of them is fun it its own right. The sounds vary from table to table to create the appropriate feeling, so you’ll hear either lots of bubbles (maybe even bursting when the ball is sunk) or witches laughing with high pitched voices (probably at your bad performances, of which I’m sure you’ll have only few).</p> <p>There are four tables altogether:</p> <p>Trick or Treat: As the name itself suggests it’s a Halloween themed table with witches and carved pumping all around.</p> <p>The Wild West: You’re a horse ridding, lasso swinging, six-shooter carrying … err … pinball ball?! Yup, yer aimin’ to shoot that there high score, you are partner!</p> <p>The Abyss: It has nothing to do with the sci-fi movie of an alien ship being deep under the ocean’s surface… well, except for taking place deep under the ocean’s surface. So I guess the term sleeping with the fishes isn’t just another mob phrase (at least not in this case).</p> <p>Psycho: Now here’s a real treat for you! Unlike the rest of the tables (you’ll see that when you select other tables you’ll get a message playing on the single table) this is a multi table game. Now this is the true unique feature of Psycho Pinball and it’s possible only here, on the Psycho table. That’s right, this is the table where you can leave the circus and land on any other of the previously mentioned three tables (which can really boost your high score).</p> <p>All in all a very good pinball game that will certainly waste a lot of your time.</p> <p><strong>NOTE</strong>:<br /> The game works in WinXP, but is so slow there’s no point in playing it. I suggest you play it in DOSBox, but you’ll need to speed things up to around 12000 cycles. Another thing is, that this game doesn’t seem to allow you to use any programs for managing DOSBox (so you’ll have to run DOSBox the hard way).</p> <p><strong>Step by step guide to run the game</strong>:</p> <p>Seeing how some people have problems running this game I was asked to add this to the review (although everybody who is comfortable with DOSBox will know that you can change the mentioned things):</p> <p>1. Download and install DOSBox (prefrebly the latest version).<br /> 2. Download and unzip the game Psycho Pinball. (there should be a folder named PP with all the files in it).<br /> 3. Put the PP folder directly on drive C: (so you'll have a folder called C:PP).<br /> 4. Run DOSBox (no frontends - just DOSBox).<br /> 5. Enter the following commands (press enter after each line of command):<br /> mount c c:\<br /> c:<br /> cd pp<br /> psycho </p> <p>You can download DOSBox from the following address:</p> <p><a href="http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1" rel="nofollow">http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1</a></p> <p><strong>Psycho Pinball Download Link</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/1038/Psycho+Pinball.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/1038/Psycho+Pinball.html</a></p> <p>======================================================================</p> <p>There’s more but I’ll post those at a later date…… :) Though as always, if you back track on any of the links you will find more.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Stephen </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3665#post-39445 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 18:01:10 +0000 graylox 39445@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>you are welcome :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3665#post-39418 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 02:24:32 +0000 aRenegade 39418@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>graylox "We're not worthy, we're not worthy!"
