I'm pretty sure <a href="http://www.Realarcade.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.Realarcade.com</a> has a lot of their games/a lot of games on their site and you'll probably end up paying less in the long wrong depending if you are a gamepass member or you get their games from another gaming site such as Bigfish.</p> <p>I have Stand O' Food and it gets boring after a while. I'm not sure if I have any other games by Alawar that are not on sites like <a href="http://www.mostfun.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mostfun.com</a> (they actually have Stand O' Food 2) and it can be downloaded and played for free. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4711#post-50284 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 11:29:47 +0000 sukibabe 50284@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>These are the games I have gotten from Alawar since March/2008</p> <p>Snowy: Treasure Hunter<br /> Snowy: Space Trip<br /> Snowy: Fish Frenzy<br /> Sky Bubbles Deluxe<br /> Crusaders of Space<br /> Ice Puzzle Deluxe<br /> Carl the Caveman<br /> Treasure Mole: Winter Vacations.....this is the one currently available!</p> <p>I don't believe I have missed any of them...I just think Alawar puts them up when they remember to do so, lol!<br /> I have had no problems on 2 computers running XP with the games unlocking.<br /> I check the box almost every day....god forbid I miss another Snowy game, lmao!</p> <p>Suki </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4711#post-50279 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 07:26:50 +0000 bluhoteyes 50279@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>oh just have to say i still have one of those Q-Bert stand alone arcade games that uses 4 c batteries my 5 yr old got it out about 3 weeks ago and i am still addicted to that game LOL </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4711#post-50269 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 04:37:22 +0000 DispatchTechs 50269@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>@WhiteRabbit</p> <p>Heck I can't blame Alawar or any company that donates to GAOTD and then seems to be hesitant... those of us who respect the offers and follow the 3 golden rules of GAOTD understand the effort these companies make when they offer a mass key like so... even if a program is 10$ nothing gets to the actual game creator at this point... (Contracts etc...) There are some amazing programs we get to try here and heck in 1 week time with some of theses programs I've saved 100's of hours of home tasks that I can spend elsewhere... So if my system crashes and I had no HD backups my own fault and I should respect the deal... if it's something I really needed and it's worth my time for sure it's a direct sale... and I hope that companies such as alawar understand that it's the little things that count.. doesn't even have to be something recent if you've never tried it... it could be a top hit.. look at Q-Bert and PacMan they fall under the same category as Elvis ;-)....</p> <p>Shawn </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4711#post-50268 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 04:03:37 +0000 Dragonlair 50268@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Half the time the free game from Alawar won't unlock. I've sent them an email about it but never got a response! Even after I download, install and unlock, it says it's the 60 minute trial.</p> <p>Not every game - but at least half of them do this! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4711#post-50262 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 00:38:00 +0000 dbpropp 50262@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hey, White Rabbit, thanks for the info. That's too bad that Alaware isn't working with you any more. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet if I want one of their games (and I will, for one or two of them).</p> <p>Thanks for the links, too. I'll check them out.</p> <p>And most of all, thanks for this great service! </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4711#post-50256 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 22:52:55 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 50256@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I wrote to Alawar last year shortly after their last lot of game giveaways, partly to say thanks for all the free games, but also for other reasons. I was told that they had really enjoyed working with the giveaway team, but that it would be a long time before they coinsidered giving away more free games. They didn't outright say no, but I got the impression that it wasn't going to be for a long time to come. The one consolation is that Alawar do give away one game a month provided you have their game box installed. There's a post in the forums that usually keeps up to date with whatever game is available at the moment. Presently it's either one of the Snowy puzzles or Ice Puzzle Deluxe. I don't have access to my Alawar Gamebox on this computer so can't check. </p> <p>Then there's another alternative. Go to Gamehouse. They give a free arcade game away every day; thought there is a downside to them in that they are add supported; also they do start to repeat after several weeks. Still, that's nearly 50 arcade games and includes some only just released:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gamehouse.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamehouse.com/</a></p> <p>Todays game (31st January)is called Delicious 2. You do have to create a free account to be able to download the games, and the adverts last for around 20 seconds at a time. Each game seems to have them popping up at different times. Some seem to pop up every few levels and others only seem to pop up a couple of times every so often, though at least once each time you start playing the games. </p> <p>regards</p> <p>Whiterabbit </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4711#post-50254 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 20:39:49 +0000 dbpropp 50254@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I lost several of the games that I really enjoyed when my last hard drive went south. Several of those games were from Alawar. I've been hoping to see them come up again on GGAOTD but I haven't seen any Alawar games for a long time. Did they stop offering them to GGAOTD? Just curious.</p> <p>Thanks for your good work! </p>
