I got it for .99 also... had their toolbar once and deleted it. Just another space-waster. But you could probably get the game for free, download the toolbar then delete it, if you don't already have the game. Appreciate the post, Tailteann!
another free game from Bigfish...

Your welcome Midori! I didn't make a thread for this offer due to the toolbar (edit: but I guess it's easy enough to remove with something like Revo). Then realized was posted here for 99 cents too and most who were interested downloaded it then. Maybe someone missed it and will want it for free.

I got the toolbar and simply disabled it at this point (both Firefox and IE8). The disables were easy. I'm still waiting for the email for my code to get it for free.
Maybe it's a good game or maybe not - it's FREE and that's worth a shot. I've been happy with all my other BF games.

Hi all - Speaking of Big Fish games: I recently downloaded "Fairies" and am having trouble getting it to work right (slow mouse movements) i mean snail slow...lol I have Windows XP Pro sp3 - Nividia GeForce 6200. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Dragon, people on the BFG forums were saying that there is no e-mail. There's a space on the toolbar itself to go to where you get the free game. If you disabled it, you probably can't get it unless you download it again.

Bonnie,
I have Fairies (I got it in a wave of 6 freebies in one night from them). The loading is slow but the slow mouse movements may be a "custom mouse pointer" or it may be the game manager. Try the trick of creating your own shortcut to bypass the game manager (explained earlier in this thread) and give it a try.
I didn't give the details of how to see the hidden files earlier because I was directing that post to WhiteRabbit who, I felt, would know how to do it. I'm sorry I didn't give more detailed info for others.
Terri,
I got the game. I was able to use what was needed before I disabled it. All you had to do is click on "What's New", give your email address (twice) and then wait for an email. It contained the "coupon code" to get the game. I helped a friend get it as well and she had the same response - email and then "buy" the game.
I still have the toolbar in both FF and IE8 but it is disabled in both cases. It would not take a re-install to get it back, just a setting in the option and re-cycle the browser. It did not install the toolbar in Opera so I didn't have to fuss there.
I'm glad I could help out others here. I just want to make a note about Vista. Don't be afraid of "old" games. Probably 99% of the games from even Win 95 and Win 98 will work properly in Vista (without compatibility). A few tricks may have to be done (like using admin mode or installing other than Program Files) but they work and work properly.
Can anybody get Voracity to work under Vista, though? It's part of Cosmi's "21 Best Windows Games" from around 2002 or 2003 (CD). The other 20 games work but Voracity can be gotten to run ONCE and then fails!

I also have Fairies and I enjoy it but I'm stuck on the Lake level. I've never quite figured out what goal you have to reach to get ahead. I just keep playing and hope for the best. Is there any strategy to this game other than getting the biggest match possible?
