Game worked great the first few days. But now when you run it, all the gems and potions and keys are missing from the screen. Only monsters appear. Any fix?

I never appreciated game play until I came upon those. Then came Might and Magic from Sega. I wish somebody could remake these games and put them up for free downloads. They would have my undying love. Fight on brave warriors and never give up. Well, I don’t know about the rest of you, but my favorite oldschool games were the Dragon Warrior Series from Nintendo.

It's a full version game, that happens to have expansion packs because it's good enough or popular enough to warrant it. How absurd to say that it isn't. Man I've got so many games that have expansion packs and I've gladly spent more to get more pleasure out of the game. If everything was free we firstly wouldn't get the quality we have now, as making a game popular is an incentive to the developer to make some well earned cash. Also if everything was given away free, where would the incentive be? (okay some games have editors and a large fan base, such as richochet or one of the FPS games such as BF2 that has over a hundred modding teams and over 500 fan made maps, but that's totally different, because it's a community of online gamers ..I digress, so will close... sorry. You need to stop acting like your online name suggests. It's not funny. And to Duh (comment 18), of course it’s a free registered giveaway of the day.

That is games older than about 10 years, or probably less is that they were far better than they really are. Memories only seem to store the good bits. Graphics today are far superior. Okay, graphics alone don't make a game play better, but it is nice to see the superb graphics in these platform games, and for me an I bet many others they do add something to the gameplay. To be honest I've always disliked platform games apart from the odd one, Elves for example from the late 80's, another commadore 64 game that was also available for the early 286 and 386 computers. The pixels on these early games must have looked pretty naff by todays standards, but at the time with only 800x600 screens or less they would have looked not too bad, but how you can compare them to todays platform games. Mmmm, yes the game play isn't much different, but give me a present day game to one from 20 years ago any day. And beleive it or not, after watching my son and daughter and two of their friends play these games on two of the computers in our study, I have an hankering to play them myself, especially the newer and more graphically pleasing Dwarves 2 that was offered a few days ago. I may even buy the expansion packs. Is this a new beginning for me, a devout arkanoid fan, who has shied away from almost all arkanoid games apart from the occasional oddity like Gish, or classics like RiskII. Guys keep up this hotch pot of genres. I,m being converted into an all rounder after 30 years of playing the original Taito Breakout and the hundreds of clones both 2D and 3D that have been spawned from it.

Finally it moved on, but I decided not to give it a try. It wouldn't let me alt-tab out of it when I thought it wouldn't work. I have plenty of games that won't act like that. Not to mention that this isn't really the 'free' version. When you exit it asks if you want to buy 'expansion' packs. I don't consider this a true giveaway of the day.
