I lost all my uploads back in June (over 60 files) and a friend who makes mods and maps for Battlefield 2 last all his maps. They used to give you warning if they were going to delete files, but i was never given any warning about my files. It's a shame, as it was the only decent free gameing download site (okay Gamershell and afew others also have a large database of downloadable mods etc, but nothing like filefront. I do have a suscription to file planet which I was thinkong of not renewing at the end of this year, but now that filefronts service is getting worse, I think i'll keep it open. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5936#post-61968 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 04:16:54 +0000 MagicMan 61968@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Yes..., VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH THANKS, for all that you people do for us here on the GOTD Forums (and every else you spread your kindness &#38; knowledge)!!!!!!!!!!!</p> <p>btw: not sure if it was just you or not reverseOrder, but I just downloaded Kong from filefront at 87KB/Sec.<br /> But, I can't get anything to download from Caiman's right now!<br /> I keep getting 'The webpage cannot be found' when I try to download...<br /> (I just downloaded some windows updates though, so I might not have something set right in my browser yet?)</p> <p>Anyways, peace &#38; prosperity to all!!<br /> mm </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5936#post-61958 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:53:57 +0000 Pookie 61958@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thank you guys for the great games. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5936#post-61952 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 20:50:15 +0000 midori 61952@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Ah, thanks, guys... a double team offering!

Looks like great games.<br /> Sorry, I didn't actually notice the topic that you were going to be away or I would of offered to take over for you but maybe next time.</p> <p>And is it just me or is the filefront download for Kong really slow (less than 10KB/Sec). I also tested other files and they all seem slow so it must be something to do with filefront itself. But I found an alternative download here:<br /> <a href="http://www.gamershell.com/news_50008.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.gamershell.com/news_50008.html</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5936#post-61906 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 18:39:40 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 61906@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>lol, just PM'ed you. </p> <p>:) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5936#post-61905 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 18:38:30 +0000 wizzard_of_ozz2004 61905@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for posting yesterday and today Rabbit, and thanks everyone for their well-wishes. I was just about to post this when I saw your post Rabbit, so here is a game of my own!</p> <p><strong>Kong</strong></p> <blockquote><p>Kong is a freeware top-down shooter game featuring monkeys with a thirst for blood in a full 3D environment. The rules are simple, pick up as many health/armor packs and weapons as you can before blowing your enemies into smithereens. The game currently features three game modes including deathmatch, team deathmatch and capture the flag with plans to introduce a number of new game modes. Computer controlled bots are provided as target practise but the real fun comes from playing in multiplayer over a local area network or the internet. </p></blockquote> <p>Kong really is a fun little shooter game, and perhaps a game a few of us could attempt to play with each other **GOTD GROUP HINT** lol</p> <p>Here's some <a href="http://www.kong360.com/index.php?option=com_content&#38;task=view&#38;id=27&#38;Itemid=38">screenshots.</a></p> <p>Download here:<br /> <a href="http://www.kong360.com/index.php?option=com_docman&#38;Itemid=40" rel="nofollow">http://www.kong360.com/index.php?option=com_docman&#38;Itemid=40</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/5936#post-61904 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 18:27:43 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 61904@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I’ve found a great 3D tanks game called Battle Tanks II, as well as couple of decent puzzle games; a mastermind clone and a remake of Lemmings (called Lemmins – how original, lol). There’s also a reasonable paintball game, that’s better than other free painball games that I’ve come across, though not as good as Extreme Paintbrawl 4 which I bought some years ago.</p> <p><strong>Battle Tanks II</strong>: (16.3Mb)</p> <p>Sometimes you run across a game that just makes you say "Wow". Battle Tanks II is one of these. The effects, graphics, sound scheme, fluidity of game play, and design of this game is simply astounding. </p> <p>On the main menu, you choose whether to play a quick game (no setup options) or a normal game where you can choose the landscape, difficulty, aiming method, game stlye, etc. You can also head over to the extensive Options menu to adjust the effects level, sound/music volume, and more.</p> <p>In the game itself you find stunning physics and effects at incredible speeds. About 90% of the games submitted for the Easter contest ran somewhat slow on my computer at least once but this game is non-stop smooth. Flack, explosions, splashes, rubble, craters, and 20+ enemies all run like there was nothing to it. </p> <p>Not only are the effects and speed of this game of the same caliber as the legendary Star Wraith series but also the controls. Besides being able to choose which force to be and which of three types of tanks you will operate you can also give 10 different commands to your forces which will automatically carry out your order as you attempt to wipe out the enemy forces.</p> <p>If you like this game you’ll probably like a game wizard posted back in week 22 called S.U.A.V.E.</p> <p><strong>Download</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f2349.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f2349.html</a></p> <ul> <blockquote><p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </p></blockquote> </ul> <p><strong>Paintball Rogue</strong>: (4.4Mb)</p> <p>A great non-violent 3D FPS/Paint Ball game<br /> You were fired from your job because you xeroxed your ass and sent it around as your Boss'.

I spent hours playing the original game when it first came out. The whole family used to compete against each other when we had a games session (which used to be a Friday and Saturday evenings – ah the memories, lol) </p> <p>The main goal of the game is guess the combination of the chips. There are two phases of the game process. First is then you make the proposal of the thinking combination by getting and putting the chips on the board in the current row. The current row is bounded by the frame. There are nine rows and you have nine attempts to guess the combination. The second phase is analysis the result. The result are displayed at the right-hand of the row as sequence of the white and black chips. The white chip means that you guess only color but not the position of the one chip. The black chip means that you guess color and position. The white and black chips are displayed in the random order. After analysis the result you repeat phases one and two in the next row until you win or lose.</p> <p>Register code</p> <p>You’ll need a registration code for this game. Thankfully you’ll find one provided over at Caiman on the same page as the download link. :)</p> <p>You can get to the registration screen by clicking Registration button from the Help screen.

Each level also includes one or more entrance points and one or more exits. The goal is to guide a certain percentage of the green-hair, blue-shirted lemmins from the entrance to the exit by clearing or creating a safe passage through the landscape for the lemmins to use. Unless assigned a special task, each lemmin will walk in one direction ignoring any other lemmin in its way (save for Blockers), falling off any edges and turning around if they hit an obstacle they cannot pass. They die if they fall from a great height, fall into water or lava or off the map, or get caught in a trap; they also die after being assigned the bomber skill.</p> <p>There are eight skills that can be assigned. Two skills stay with the lemmin regardless of how they are reassigned:</p> <p>* "Climbers" will climb any vertical surface they hit.</p> <p>* "Floaters" can safely fall off from heights without injury.</p> <p>* "Bashers", "Miners", and "Diggers" cause the assigned lemmin to dig across, diagonally downward, or directly downward, respectively, through destructible material until they emerge into open air, hit indestructible material, or are reassigned.</p> <p>* "Builders" create a rising stairway.</p> <p>* "Blockers" will reverse the direction of all lemmins that hit them, and cannot be reassigned unless first the ground under their feet is removed.</p> <p>* "Bombers" will continue whatever they were doing prior to assignment, but after 5 seconds (indicated by a countdown timer above their head) they will stop and explode.</p> <p>The lemmins are released at a rate predetermined by the level (from 1 to 99), but the player can increase this to a faster rate once they've cleared a path for safe passage to an exit. The player also has the option to "nuke" all the remaining lemmins on the screen, converting them all to Bombers, either to quickly forfeit in order to retry a level or to remove any Blockers that remain after the rest have been rescued.</p> <p>Controls: Mouse</p> <p><strong>Download</strong>:</p> <p><a href="http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f3324.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caiman.us/scripts/fw/f3324.html</a></p> <p>=============================================================== </p>
