Ljuba: It’s NOT a demo version–you just didn’t activate it correctly.

I found this game disappointing. I didn’t “get it.” It’s sort of a match 3 game, but it’s billed as three different games: logic, adventure and endless. However, it’s really just slight variations of the same game. Usually love Alawar, but this one’s a disappointment. Graphics and music are well done, but you’ve really got to like this type of match-3 puzzle.

I think this is bad game,because it’s just demo version.This game is something like a “Zuma” and “Diamond mine”,but “Zuma” and “D…” is better than this one!

I also was getting the “additional files” error, and the game would not run. Being in an experimental mood, I uninstalled and downloaded the file from the mirror server, with the same results. I then tried to have the program “run as” Win98, WinNT, and Win2k (my system runs WinXP home, SP2) — none of these made any difference.

Finally, I went straight to Alawar’s download page for this game, to at least try it out to see how it plays. I received the exact same error from the .exe that was downloaded directly from Alawar, so the problem is most definitely theirs, and not simply the file being provided to/by GGOTD.

It’s a shame too, since it looked like such an interesting concept for a game. Perhaps once Alawar gets the problem resolved the game can be offered again? Whatever of their games I’ve ever downloaded before have consistently been high quality and stable, so this just isn’t like them.

Nonetheless, thanks to Alawar and GGOTD for their offerings: past, present, and future.

I installed this on my husbands windows 98se..
His machine meets all the specifications; the game runs well, BUT!!!
There is NO sound!
YET, all the sound files are in the files for the game, and he has no issues with his sound cards etc..
Help?
(I am probably putting this into the wrong area, so will post it in the forum too)

Users who only get 60 minutes to play or cannot activate – If you are running Vista – run Activate as the Administrator user.

(Right click on Activate.exe and select “Run As Administrator”)

Someone please help. I activated, a little window said it was activated successfully. I then hit setup and installed it. After closing all the way, without running right away, it started up. Man, I run vista too, and it didn’t give me a demo or anything. I guess all I can do is to keep playing it.

Installed fine on Vista, but on XP every time I start it I get the message that the program has installed extra files and it won’t happen again, with the only option being to close the error message box.

Alawar needs to address this problem… pronto!

Hmmph! Buggy software! Oh, wait—that’s a good thing in this case. Sorry.

For those having problems installing this game. I had both scenarios when I first installed it on my Vista system. It initially came up with the ‘installed extra lines’, and then when I clicked on the desk top icon, it showed the 60 minute only trial. I always click on the activate button when I’ve unpacked a game giveaway, then the set up file, unless they are combined. Usually this is enought to activate the game correctly. I clicked on the activate button again and I still got the 60 minutes trial window. So shut the program down and turned the computer off. When I returned to it later the game was working okay, with the trial window gone.

I didn’t do anything else other than the above steps. ie….. Unpack, activate, install the program, activate again, turn off and close down.

Has anyone who previously had problems tried to do this with success? I hope so.
