<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that Giveaway Of The Day with their regular file downloads almost ALWAYS has more thumbs down than thumbs up? I treasure the weekends when Game Giveaway Of The Day posts games on here. I feel that the administrators need to move Game Giveaway of the Day to a daily game and put the GOTD to weekends. Then they will treasure their files and not be so negative on the files thats given away freely. As far as GGOTD comments you always see more thumbs up than thumbs down.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Great game.  This is a real gem that is very challenging, and adds some nice elements to the Arkanoid clone category.

Nice to know that great games like this get offered every so often for us newbies, rather than getting offered once and then being lost forever.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This game was actually quite good, up to the level where it was all black and there was no way to proceed except by pure stupid chance.  Great graphics, good spin on the game concept.  However, to buy it at $20 is too much, and the 'game o' chance' level pretty much makes it pointless (like the game offers any point anyway!).

Worth $5]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I agree with you Dan. It actually amazes me how many community members do bitch. I was always taught that you should never slate a gift.
However; I do realize that constructive criticism is a good thing, especially if the developers take up the ideas that have been suggested. There are too many complaints about these games, not because they are rubbish, but because it’s not what they wanted or they already have them. 
To be honest, apart from Double Games and most of Merscoms games, I’ve bought most of what’s been offered here, but I’ve never complained about it. Instead I try to find something useful to write about those games.
It’s no wonder the world is in the state its in; with the attitudes we see on these forums ( and these are mild compared to the giveaway comments).
Overall, Egyptoid is a very playable game. I’m sure the genre doesn’t appeal to everyone, but so long as a game is constructed in a professional manner, we shouldn’t be complaining, just because it didn’t tickle our fancy, lol.
Regards

<description><![CDATA[Geez, I can't believe that ANYONE could have the brass to bitch about FREE software!!!!!  Best to stay away then.  Not too much given away for free anywhere, in any category, so if it piques my interest I'll be happy to download the program, if not, so be it.  I'm grateful for whatever I can use and still keep a few bucks in MY pocket.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi SciFiJim,  Did you try the fixes mentioned in the comments above?  

<blockquote>1)  Restart the game once the game has activated.

2)  Download the file from Realores site and manually delete the one installed via the Giveaway files, but under no account use the uninstaller otherwise you will lose the registry entries.

3) Get the latest version of DX9 (or 10 if you have Vista), though I think you still need DX9 for this.

4) Install the latest graphics and monitor drivers</blockquote>

I hope it's not too late .  If so, try the free arkanoid/breakouts that I've linked to in the Arkanoid thread via the game discussion thread:

http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2607

I highly recommend the Urse games <strong>Scaraball</strong> (aka <strong>Gem Ball<strong>) and <strong>A-Ball</strong>  (aka <strong>Nuclear Ball</strong>)  plus Elefuns <strong>Geometry Ball</strong> (aka <strong>Twinzoid</strong>).  There are also seven more commercially available arkanoids available from Gametop (link to be found in the arkanoid thread) for fgree, though the ones I've mentioned by name are the best in my opinion.  there are also several excellent freeware versions, that for freeware are actually very good.

regards

<description><![CDATA[Hi BamaGrrl,  no offence taken as I hope there wasn't any from my side.  With little information about a person it's hard to assess their level of competence with computers, so as a general rule I'll assume minimal experience as it is still new to most of the world.  That way, even if you didn't benefit from the advice, other may.  I was when I noticed that you only had 1Gb of RAM, that I decided to write the simple advice as 1Gb  is rather small by today's standards, and thought that with such a small amount (well relatively speaking) if you also had  lots running in the background it could be a very good reason for the sluggishness.  The game runs as smooth as silk on the two computers I've installed it onto, though the specs are much higher.

You didn't mention your graphics chip, which may also have something to do with the sluggishness. 

Anyway, I do hope you sort the problem out because otherwise the game wouldn't be much  fun. :lol:

Regards
