Same problem as comment #4, here.

Comes up full-screen, click on the 'Level One.' The words 'Tutorial One' are in nice, big letters and the game play area is a tiny tiny square to the left of that.

That's obviously not right...

Ran fine on my P4 with 1GB, but couldn't get it to run on my kids Athlon 2400+ or PII...think it was lacking video power. It is a fun game, though.

Re #34, that's the same error I got ..."TD2.exe has generated errors and will be closed by WIndows. You will need to restart the program."

Letting it close and restarting it worked, it then started with no error and played fine. Tried closing it and restarting again a few times and never saw the error again, only happened first time. Can't try to reproduce it and find out what's causing it though, already uninstalled because didn't like the game.

Have downloaded, attempted to install 3 times. Get the Program error message below. I have then uninstalled before downloading again. I have been unsuccessful at downloading this program without error...

T2D.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program.

Looks pretty good, but how an actual pool/billiards game? The best I've seen is Virtual Pool.

The very first one that didn't work, will try the mirror site. Still a no-go. Maybe next time.

Downloaded and installed fine, got an error message on opening but it opened and played fine anyway. Mouse controlled but don't look for anything to click to get out or to restart a level, just use ESC key.

A very strange game. Claims to combine pool, bowling, pinball and arcanoid. It's sort of all of those and none of them at the same time. Someone in the comments mentioned breakout but it's not like breakout. Another mentioned matching but it's not at all like the match three games, which have all been highly rated despite a few complaints in comments today. Still another suggested this is an action game, but it most definitely is not. It's an odd puzzle game. Anyone looking for something different should try this, it's certainly different.

In this game you use the shooter to push two of the same colored balls together to eliminate them, or you push any one ball out of the playing field through a black and white checked grid to eliminate the one. The shooter bounces off some of the tiles on the side, others have to broken. There's arrows that direct either the balls or the shooter in the direction they point and can trap the shooter if you don't eliminate balls in the correct order.

The shooter shoots fast but moving it into a different position is clunky and slow. It sort of drifts, as do the game balls. If you shoot in the right direction you can just sit there and watch until they very slowly touch and disappear. This is most like the Boulderdash clone DOS-style puzzles but instead it's mouse controlled, has a few different elements added and there's no rocks that fall on the shooter. Overall it's an OK game, but just OK. Some may enjoy it, I found it Boulderdash-boring and will be uninstalling.

We appreciate your site, BUT ENOUGH PUZZLE AND MATCH GAMES!!
They are now quite boring!
They must be your favourite type of game?
There are many other types besides "puzzle" and "match" games out there.
Please pay attention to our comments!

Whiterabbit, have you read somewhere on the site that GGOTD only offers arcade games? If I knew that was the case I probably wouldn't bother coming, please let me know if you have.

Can you please put Pacman III back on the board? I only heard of your site a few days ago and it had already been given out! Thanks! And, thanks for all the cool games too.

Just to let #12 know, I have XP Media Center 2002 and I don't have a problem with the games or programs, usually. The few times I did, I uninstalled them and redownloaded. Was just wondering which version you had. I kinda like this game and didn't have a problem with the 3D graphics either.

Seems alot of the games HATE XP media center edition.
unfortunately thats what i got.
i'll download and try anyway.

Oh yeah and it worked fine on both my computers. I changed the settings to D3D to start and did get problems. laying it with open GL though allowed a smooth game play with no crashes.

One of the things that's great about this game is that you can play any level in any order if you want. Thanks

It won't run for me either. It's a shame it looks like a cool game.

Reply | Comment by Alicia – 17 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

YES, Thank you very much. This is another game I almost bought a while back because of it's arkanoid link. This is a nice cross genre game that should appeal to most Arcae fanatics. With respect to comment #1 this is an action game. As for RPG's I thought they wouldn't come under the umbrella of arcade games. Mmmm maybe I was wrong.

I can't understand why ..... never mind each to their own opinion.

Just keep 'em coming guys as both myself and my children are really happy with everything you have offered up to date. The variety of games over the two month period since you started Game giveaway has been brilliant. I have no complaints about any of these games as they all have entertainment value. I have my favorites, but even the simplest can be great to play for a break, so I wouldn't be so quick to condemn a game like some have such as "Troll" and yesterdays "Aquatic of Sherwood", both of which have a great look and lots of originality within their own genre's. Thank you Thank you Thank you :)

Caused total freeze on my XP Media PC when I tried to change the playing resolution. I tried playing in full screen mode after rebooting and got all sorts of weird graphics errors. Have uninstalled it.

Reply | Comment by Jeff – 17 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

This is one of the few that will not run in Vista as well. Same errors Post #5. Even tried XP Compatibility mode.

Reply | Comment by Randy – 17 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

As always this is a very funny game to pass some hours altough some levels was a real (*^#($&@..
I have so say something.Even though i enjoy all the games u upload plz start "giving away" some other type of games.Everyday puzzle puzlle puzzle..c mon there are many strategy , rpg , adventure "gems" out there .
anyway grats on the GOTD team.the whole projects deserves a big APPLAUD

Reply | Comment by Hellaskicker – 17 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

Why won't the game start?!? I've installed it but I can't make it work. It says that T2D.exe encountered a problem and it needs to close and ofcourse, they are sorry for the inconvienience... What is wrong?

Reply | Comment by Alex – 17 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

This doesn't seem to work. the program will take up full screen but the "playing field" only takes up what looks like an iPod video screen's worth of space. it's very weird and worthless.

Reply | Comment by Gil T. – 17 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

I have never had a problem with any of the programs here but when I try to launch TrickBall all I get is an error message and then it closes. I have downloaded and installed it twice and it has done this both times.
