My 10-year old in particularly loved them. Very easy to understand, but uses some logic and thought to play well. (I enjoy them too.) Thanks.

One problem, though: it seems to have some kind of conflict with Windows Media Player. While I'm listening to music using Windows Media Player, the game will just shutdown. By that, I mean, it will disappear from off the screen but will not allow me to restart it until I go into the Windows Task Manager under the Processes tab and end the task. After I do that, it will re-start fine. Thanks, - John I’m enjoying the game very much. One problem, though: it seems to have some kind of conflict with Windows Media Player.

They certainly make me want to buy the games you review. And I also agree wit you wholeheartedly on what you mention about the negative comments aimed at specific community members. I suppose it's easy to hide behind a blind screen and keyboard; With no one to stop you apart from the moderators. "Cest la Vie"...please keep on writing those lovely reviews Merril. :) Wit respect to Ravenill's comment #25, (no disrespect implied) I don't know about most of the games that were mentioned above, but I do know for certain that Battlefield 1942 plays via XP Professional SP2. It is unlikely that EA would give such a popular title away despite it being 5 years old. I for one (despite having all the other Battlefield titles still revisit this fantastic FPS. The modding community are still making maps for this game of which there are around 500+ as well as hundrds of mods. You can buy the whole BF1942 package, which includes the original Battlefield 1942 as well as "The Road to Rome" and "Secret Weapons of WWII" expansion packs called "Battlefield 1942 World War II Anthology for around the same price as one of these arcade games that are offered every day. There are still quite a few servers running these game if you enjoy playing online. I also have all thhe C & C games and they run on XP as well. I've just bought Vista Home Premium edition, and ope that my favorite games will still play on that OS, but if not i'll still have XP running on a separate partition. :) So I'll still have all the great games that the Game giveaway team ave entertained us with. Please excuse the long waffle. Just wanted to reciprocate Merrils pleasant remark and to put the record straight on some incorrect info. Have a great evening, what's left of it.

I have installed it on 2 computers and it does it on both. I will be playing the game and suddenly I am looking at my screensaver with the game nowhere to be seen. Is there a fix for this issue?

Otherwise it's too s-l-o-w. Some good puzzles - I made it to level six on Real Clicks and it suddenly went from a bit boring to pretty darn hard. The Lines one seemed a little buggy, although to be fair, I haven't installed it on my XP box yet - it may work fine there. It will work on Vista if you turn off the 3D stuff in options.

Task manager did not list it as still running however it wouldn't restart from either the program list or the shortcut. Glitchy.

If you play only one of the four games, try "Real Clicks". It's the least boring and seems to get quite a brainteaser in the higher stages. Nice program, but pretty boring.
