If you didn’t see activate.exe or readme.txt in the zip it’s probably because you are telling your unzip program to “Install” instead of “Extract”. Either that or you are using the unzip program in Wizard mode, which never shows you the other two files in the zip.

Open your unzip program (most likely Winzip), look for Options in the menu an change it from Wizard to Classic. Then go back to the zip file and double click it, you will then see the file activate.exe, make sure your internet connection is open and double click activate.exe to run it. When you get the messages the game is successfully activated you can close those, then reopen the game to find it fully registered.

I’ll try most games once, as long as they’re from a trusted site. I happen to be enjoying this game at the moment, (still playing,) and ready now to begin Mission 3.

Graphics seem fine on Windows XP, though as someone said earlier, perhaps appearing a little flat. However, (to me,) they aren’t as awful as they appear to some

I know that I’ve become spoiled in my expectations of games graphics these days, so I did find the lack of glitz and 3D disappointing. Then I think back to the days of television ping-pong, where we had nothing but black white – anyone else remember? *laughs*

I didn’t see any dramatic spike in CPU usage at all.

I didn’t experience any problems during installation, it actually went very smoothly. UI of the game is good, buttons well placed and easy to find.

As always, my sincere thanks go to the developers without whom such a public service could not have emerged – and of course to GOTD, who have undertaken such a huge project and could use all the support that comes their way.
