It wasn&#39;t taken as a critisism, though I suppose the flavour of my reply may have seemed so.

I [i]very much appreciate all the hard work and long hours put into this venture and have links to, and promote this site on my own web-sites.<br /> I agree that some sort of counter to measure the visits would be great. then again, you may be letting yourself in for even more work lol.<br /> I&#39;ll try again later today and thanks once again to you and your cohorts for your dedication :)</p> <p>Matty </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6331#post-65702 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:39:56 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 65702@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Ringo, I&#39;d put a } instead of a ]. The link is working now, sorry for the hassle. I followed the link through and got a download working. It is directly from the developers site, which may have bandwidth limitations. I don&#39;t know how many community members actually follow these links we post in these forums, so can&#39;t be certain whether that was the problem. I know in the past there have been problems downloading games from developers sites through a rush of downloading; as a result of this site &#39;advertising&#39; the link; but interest seems to have waned over the months. Especially since sites such as Gamehouse give commercial games away every day and other sites are offering new games for very low amounts ((<em>for example, I&#39;ve just posted about a game called <strong><u>East India Company</u></strong> in another thread</em>), which was released about two months ago and cost nearly $50. You can get it for $5 from Direct2drive this week; so I don&#39;t think this freeware thread is getting much attention at the moment. I wish there were a counter telling you how many page views there has been, as that would give an estimate of the communities interest. Thankfully I&#39;m still enjoying posting these games and have a great team in Wizzard and reverseOrder, both of which have done a lot to keep this thread alive (<em>plus occassional help from a few other forum members</em>). </p> <p>WR </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6331#post-65699 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:54:02 +0000 ringo2312 65699@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi<br /> Seems like the link for the download at the developers site (Nameless) is down for the moment (01.53 GMT). It gives you an aspx doc instead? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/6331#post-65694 Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:36:40 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 65694@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Today’s games include an excellent platformer based on the Jetpack series and an excellent Dutch version of Monopoly. I’ve already posted a different version of the game several months ago, which you can find <a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/4730#post-50392"><strong>HERE</strong></a>, and which can be downloaded from <a href="http://free-zd.t-com.hr/drazen/index.html"><strong>HERE</strong></a> . Sorry for the delay. Was sidetracked by a really interesting game that I’d planned to post, then discovered I’d already done so, lol. I’ve yet to upload the monopoly images to my photobucket account. Will do so tomorrow.</p> <ul> <blockquote><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> </blockquote> </ul> <p><strong><u>The Nameless X1 : MARS ORBIT</u></strong> (16.6Mb)</p> <p>This is an excellent Jetpack clone with a massive labyrinth to explore. I’m really into Martian based games at the moment thanks to the red faction games that were given away free when I pre-ordered Red Faction Guerilla several weeks ago. (<em>which is a brilliant game….. you need a high end computer to play it. It’s a free roaming FPS with elements of RPG</em>), so this one caught my eye.</p> <p><center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/The%20Nameles/name_01.png"></center></p> <p><center><img src="http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab93/whiterabbit03/Freeware%20Games/The%20Nameles/name_09.png"></center></p> <p><blockquote>An adventure on a Martian mining base.

I spent most of the evening preparing a particular game to post only to discover that I’d already posted it several months ago.(I keep forgetting to check the free games synopsis. Consequently I’m a little short of time (need to get to bed) so the following description is a direct translation (using Google translator) from the Dutch instructions that I copied from the developers site.</p> <p>[quote]Monopoly for Windows! Finally a Monopoly game for Windows, in Dutch and the Dutch streets: the familiar Neude, Bartel and George Street Kalverstraat! You trade with other players, you put down some houses, and occasionally get on Free Parking and you get the money from the pot. ... Or not, because you can decide what &quot;house rules&quot; are used there. </p> <p>Monopoly 4.0 is written by Leo R. of Parkeerbonnen The game is completely free and available here for nothing. But beware: it is a first version, which means that there maybe a few mistakes in it. I would appreciate it if you wish and findings regarding the program would like to email me. </p> <p>The game contains the following options: </p> <p>* Set how many players do with it (2 to 6) and which players played by the computer </p> <p>* Barter: one of the most complicated aspects of the Monopoly game, but I hope I have a fairly reasonable way to find it on the computer display. Tips on this are very welcome! </p> <p>* House Rules: you can set a pot, or you pay interest on mortgages and whether your money will double if you land on Go. </p> <p>* Save games and continue playing later </p> <p>* Miscellaneous options to the list not to lose in such a complicated game: the property can be displayed on the board, there are statistics kept, which played the speed can be adjusted (from very slow to very fast) and much more. </p> <p>* Sounds: you hear the game come to life ...&lt;/quote]</p> <p>Reference translated from <a href=" <a href="http://home.telfort.nl/sp591024/parkeerbonnen/monopoly.html" rel="nofollow">http://home.telfort.nl/sp591024/parkeerbonnen/monopoly.html</a>"><strong>HERE</strong></a></p> <p>If the game doesn’t work on your system you may require Visual Basic runtime which can be downloaded from Microsofts site or <a href="http://www.a-softtech.com/Free/VBRuntime/VB6RuntimeOnlineInstall.html"><strong>HERE</strong></a> The file automatically installs itself to your system folder</p> <p><u><strong>Download</strong></u>:</p> <p>You can download the game from <a href="http://home.telfort.nl/sp591024/parkeerbonnen/monopoly.html"><strong>HERE</strong></a>.
