I was sorting through some old files and found a demo of an arkanoid that I didn’t buy, but on playing it again thought I just might as well buy it, so clicked on the buy button. I was surprised to get a message saying the file was not known, but then I saw a little box to the right of the main page saying:
Newsletter: 5 Free Games: full unlimited version of Deep Ball Defender, Cosmic Ball, Space Bubbles, Air Hawk 2, Animal Retreat for subscribers!
The first game in the list was the game I was wanting to buy. You can get all five games within a few minutes of subscribing, all you have to do is give them your Email (for newsletters) and you’ll get an E-mail within seconds with download links to all five games. Air Hawk 2 is one of those 3D helicopter shooters that you can also get free from Gametop, but you don’t get the browser opening when closing the game down. All five games are full version arcade games that would normally cost nearly $20 each. You also get 20% off any other game in their stock, which includes all the big titles and more. (Yeah I know, most of the bigger distributors are offering some sorts of incentives to buy their products) I’m just pleased I’ve got Deep Ball Defender. The rest were just bonus games. :)
You can subscribe by following the link below and completing the small field to the middle right of the main page:
On installing Cosmic ball, (which I thought I recognized) I had my browser opened and discovered that the game was actually associated with gametop via the Forex trading partnership. The site though was Myrealgames instead of gametop. It’s basically the same set up as Gametop, but with a lot more games to choose from. However Deep Ball Defender is from BDStudios and comes with an activation code. The rest are of the gametop type with browsers being opened when you lose the games down. I did check each file for viri and found none. There seems to be no other problems with any of the games. If you’re not keen on the browser thing then you could just get the Deep Ball Defender game which is a reasonable arkanoid. It’s got a vague look of Reflexives top arkanoid Ricochet with metallic looking bricks:
