Follow the link to the developers site.  I've linked to it  in the reference following the intro to my review.  You can also get this for free 24/y from Gametop and MyPlayCity together with a couple more from the series.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well, I downloaded the Gametop version and it actually installed  it on my computer. However, when I try to launch it, it reverts to the install screen again and doesn't launch the game.
Probably only certain types of games will work on linux. Perhaps just the stand alone games. 
Thanks again for your help. If I do find a game at some point that works with Linux I will report that so that others may benefit.

<description><![CDATA[RE #28

Yes I have wine installed and I tried it several times. Comes up with an error that says it can't recognize the format.

Thanks anyway. I will try todays game and see what happens.

Hi Jack, before you give up on  Helic completely try the Gametop version.  The giveaway version   is slightly different, so you may find it will work.  I've linked to it above somewhere.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sorry folks but I didn't like this one.  Helo was very hard to control either with the mouse or keyboard.  Way to sensitive.  Graphics were choppy and very old style like about 5 years out of date.  Definitely something I would not spend money on.

<description><![CDATA[RE# 17

Thank you for your response.

I did try to run it in Linux but it did not work. It probably needs the Windows environment to work. 

Was worth a try. Thanks

.......................Moderator comment................................

Did you  install the Windows emulator? That should allow you to   run the game.  If you miss the  giveaway, you can still get  a copy from Gametop. I've linked to it  above somewhere.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hmm, got this game long time ago. Forgot about it! Deleted from hd and moved into my external hardrive! Works well as portable game! I am installing everything into external so it doesn't slow my computer down! Moderator mentioned less games offered due recession!Maybe more games that were given away in past, can be repeated! Got lots of games from gotd, but lots were given that I missed!  Thanks Fly Games for an exellent game!

......................Moderator comment.........................

Hi Dido, unfortunately   some of the developers   that gave us games no loger exist, others such as Realore have their own free game giveaways now.  That said, Alawar are back with us and  have been giving us  more  games never given before.  As yet they haven't  done any repeats, but you never know.  :)  Other developers such as Playrix have been repeating games as have Fly games.  

Generally we get around 33% repeats these days.  :)  hopefully you will find  more of the games  you missed.  Many of the game giveaways can also be found on sites like MyPlayCity and Gametop.  Gametop are  quite reasonable at the moment, with some games  not even asking for permission to install toolbars.  

Of course all those games do open your browser at the  close of a game, but   that is  totally  safe.  There's no hidden extra's.  MyPlayCity are at the moment asking for toolbar installs and  home page changes every time you  boot up a game so there's the chance you may  forget to  uncheck the checkboxes.  that said, they do have a massive library of over 600 arcade games, many of which are classics.  Gametop  seem to have reduced the number of games they have, but  they still have some excellent games.  you could also try FreeGamePick.  Some users may also  suggest Jenkat games, but I'd personally steer clear.

<description><![CDATA[Looks good, although it sounds similar to Air Assault 2. Anyway, I'll try it.

....................Moderator Comment.............................


Air Assault 2 is a much faster vertical scrolling shooter,   linear in game play and top down (well sort of).  You can't fly around an open environment in Air Assault 2.  Both games are excellent in different ways.  To anyone that's interested, you can get both Air Assault games from Gametop and MyPlayCity 24/7

<strong><u>Air assault II</u></strong>:

http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/helicopter-air-assault2/


<strong><u>Air Assault I</u></strong>:

http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/helicopter-air-assault/

<strong><u>Desert Hawk</u></strong>:

http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/desert-hawk/

<strong><u>Also Helic</u></strong>:

http://www.gametop.com/download-free-games/helicopter/


I've only linked to Gametop as  MyPlayCity is quite aggressive at the moment. (i.e. wants to install toolbars and  change your home page every time you boot the games up.  you can stop that by un-checking the checkboxes, but its easy to forget and end up with   toolbars etc.  Gametop isn't quite as aggressive at the moment.

To download from Gametop click the red download button that's directly below the   game image. I checked  all four  games and  they do ask if you want Gametop set as your home page (aprt from Desert Hawk, which was clean), they only ask the once during installation.  Uncheck the box and  the game is basically clean apart from the innocuous browser opening when you close  the game down.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Excellent gameplay, love it.  Been keeping a lookout for this one since my hard drive crashed and burned a couple of years or so ago, missed one re-run but nabbed it again this time around.

I've only had it crash out once on my PC, but using a Ubuntu live CD's memory test, found a bad stick of memory.  Replaced the memory stick, problem solved untill HDD failed!

Thank you again GGOTD and Fly Games for the re-post!
