<description><![CDATA[Just about the dumbest game I ever saw.
Difficult to work out what to do on some levels and others just cut anywhere and it's done.
Weird.
And spelling their own web site url wrong? Says it all.

Most would disagree with you on that.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I tried everything and at this point I'm giving up and it looked and sounded like something I'd love in a game. So if I try again tomorrow then I'm out of luck right?

<description><![CDATA[For all those who have had the same installation problem as I've had perhaps I can solve the problem for you very easily. I am running Vista HP on my notebook and the game seemed to install fine until I went to the  C drive Games folder and the was no Mechanism3 folder. I did a search and it kept telling me that the file was there but I couldn't find the folder so I restarted with a scan disk first as well as a disk cleanup to make sure I had enough room.No luck and then I saw tat there was a new download so I tried that and had the same result and then I looked inside the Games folder itself and there it was. The only executable file in the Games folder. Hope this fixes your problem.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'd like to make one last comment to clarify things and support my previous #23 and #34 comments. The spying is done by mochibot.com,  well known third party analytics provider, which reports to developers who use their service. The extent of the spying is similar to a hit counter on a webpage, where your IP address (your PC's unique address on the net) is logged, but there is also a unique ID generated for your PC which is logged, and I don't know what else is transferred or logged. This by itself is not dangerous, it's just a violation and outrage as has already been stated by myself and others here, with no place in downloaded game and especially without any notice, opt-out or stated privacy policy. 

This game "phones home" to mochibot EVERY time it starts, who aggregate user data for their own purposes as well as for the developer, and with the guid and cookies and such they can identify you across many websites on the net. To understand the implications of this kind of thing I highly recommend you read the full series of articles at http://online.wsj.com/public/page/what-they-know-digital-privacy.html 

Please note that blocking core.mochibot.com with the HOSTS file is my solution (see http://accs-net.com/hosts/what_is_hosts.html ), but be aware that this may cause trouble for certain flash games and videos you may want to see in the future, similar to the way that blocking "doubleclick" domains (one of the most common ad hosts) will prevent many streaming videos from loading. See the HOSTS file page at http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm for detailed info and a great ready to use spy blocking file.

Using a firewall to block outgoing traffic is another option that's been mentioned, but I must also point out that Sandboxie (which is free, bulletproof, extremely light on resources and thus highly recommended) can selectively block programs from accessing the net just like a firewall, and it can load custom HOSTS file for each sandbox you configure, thus allowing many options for blocking or allowing or containing programs. It's easy to use and set up too, and has the best free English tech support you could hope for, at http://sandboxie.com (it's the most powerful software I own!).]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[this game looks like a brain game, installed ok however i cannot find where it is  installed, where did it go!

............................Moderator Comment....................

Hi Kerry, the game installs to C:\Games by default.  It will be easy to spot becasue it's not  installed to a folder, just an executable, so it will be near the end of the  folders when you open up games.  If you are still having difficulty, either  use the search function to find where it is, or reinstall it.  Once you've found it  you'll need to create a shortcut.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[re the $10 a day "more games" catch.  GOTD should also remove the google ad to the right of the initial description on the download page as it often displays a large download now type ad and especially in the other programs GOTD site it's too close to the GOTD download link.

I have reviewed a number of offers and then recommended them to those I knew would benefit, only to here back from them that 7 days later they have been charged $39.99 from the incorrect link they followed that mentioned "free games, download now" mistaking this for GOTD download link.

This sort of mistake by what could be many users will damage GOTD reputation.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Bottomline--GOTD says 100% spyware/ad free. --This game isn't regardless of those that have posted work-a-rounds or links to sandboxes.
Don't have the time to fix/work a round what GOTD should have been aware of and as a result not offered this game.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[One note on all the Hosts file changes recommended.  I got them all done (the YouTube was helpful) but I could not save in that folder.  I had to save it elsewhere and then move it back over.  Then put the read-only flag back on.  Even as Admin, it said I didn't have authority to save the file there.]]></description>
