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)</p> <p>regards</p> <p>Stephen </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3101/page/2#post-34328 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 08:54:14 +0000 robm 34328@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Catnip, there are a couple here which haven't been posted before.

Thanks for posting it.</p> <p>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.

Once the game has been installed you can then change the date back to the correct adate. </p> <p>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. <em><strong>Cradle of Persia</strong></em> is similar to games such as <em><strong>Age of Japan</strong></em>, <em><strong>Rise of Atlantis</strong></em> and <em><strong>Big Kahuna Reef</strong></em>; and in my opinion as good. It's well worth keeping if you were lucky enought to get the free game. :)</p> <p>p.s.</p> <p><em>Thanks Funkymom</em> :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3101#post-30253 Thu, 22 May 2008 07:28:25 +0000 funkymom 30253@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>whiterabbit, you rock! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3101#post-30252 Thu, 22 May 2008 07:26:55 +0000 robm 30252@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Brilliant work bringing all the different threads together.

A nice puzzle game and different from others I've seen and played. The web page has links to 5 screenshots. I've played a few levels so far, and it gets harder and harder. And when you replay a level, it is never the same, which means you can't memorize your way through the game. It does take a while to get used to the controls. You are only allowed so many clicks, and I keep wasting clicks when I hit the wrong arrow. You'll see what I mean.....</p> <p><a href="http://demonews.com/download-3278.html" rel="nofollow">http://demonews.com/download-3278.html</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3101#post-26207 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:13:53 +0000 creamypretzel 26207@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Here is a nice game I discovered today, and of course, it is free.
