The Game:
Day D: Through Time is a standard resource gathering time management game, with a tutorial for those of you who are not as familiar or need a refresher to start you off on your journey. The game includes some extras as part of the collectors edition.

This type of game is not really my cup of tea, but a decent TM game nonetheless (apart from the sound effects, which become very monotonous, very quickly). It's worth downloading if you are into this style of resource management TM game. As with the previous time this was given away I don’t have enough time to play today (partly because it's now almost 6am Saturday, and I've still to retire for the night; and, will be snoozing until after lunch (probably); so there will be no full review, but I have linked to several videos and posted some information from a couple of web sites to keep you reasonably informed about the game.

''Brian, an outstanding (though some may say eccentric!) scientist, has spent his whole life immersed in stories of dragons in the dinosaur era. He believed that he would one day meet a real dragon. Brian invented a time machine that sent him hurtling into the Jurassic park, to see war dragons! But forget about a leisurely stroll through the land of the dinosaurs: his old friend vicious Doctor Austin Awful - dino hunter is already there waiting! He invented his own time machine before Brian and has already managed to run amok in the past! Doctor Awful dino hunter creates nothing but distress.

The good dinosaur Helen will happily help you: she’ll remove turf, create a lighthouse, create a sea bunker and help create a themed park, get you an artefact, and carry out commands. When fraudsters try to take your land, you can use super-equipment (and even create pitchforks!). We’re sure you’ll succeed before the harvest. You will journey into a time when there were no pharaohs, fairies, tribal, brownies, dwarfs or orcs. You won’t see a magical city or other worlds. Only the final day of the dinosaurs, if you don’t save them. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help. You aren’t scared of a little Godzilla, are you? This is not a hunting game! This is a building and zoo tycoon like game!

Brian stop Doctor Awful in an adventure full of mystery, research, and of course, time travel. All that and more awaits in this exciting science fiction adventure thrill ride! 50 unique levels, tons of different objectives, super cool settings, dragon city and a fun and engaging plot are yours to explore now. Construct buildings, tame dinosaurs, look for the scape, manage resources, create a garden and build other awesome structures - dragon mania legends will open up before you. Simple controls and smooth game mechanics will help you get going in no time. But if you still don't understand something, you can always use the Help menu.''

Notes on Security
I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game and it found five hits (Kingsoft, Panda, Rising, VBA32 & Zillya) from 57 antimalware engines. This is actually insignificant and almost certainly a false positive. Of the five at least four regularly show up as positive hits with both MyPlayCity (MPC) TooMky Games and the weekday contributor Falcoware Games (though since Falcoware removed their installer, most of their games come back with zero hits and are super clear of any malware. The more recognisable anti-malware engines such as Avast, Kaspersky, Bit Defender and others from the 57 anti-malware engines used to scan the installed game all give the game a clean bill of health.

I've been installing MPC games for many years, even when they used to include the toolbar addons, and have never had any issues with any of their games. The downloaded executable 'may' include some low level adware that only opens your browser to MPC's home page after the game has installed and places a few shortcuts onto your desktop (which can be safely deleted once the game has installed). The installation ''DOES NOT'' inject any malware into your system. When your browser is opened to MPC's home page when the game has been installed, it earns MPC some money through the adverts seen on their site; part of which is given to the developer of the game for allowing the game to be given away for free. All MPC games are commercial games sold on other sites like Alawar, Big Fish Games and Gamehouse. You can see the results of the scan via the following link:
