No matter whether they are being offered free; they are games that normally people like us would pay good money for. I think the comments re whether free etc provide no information for those of us who do wish to decide whether to try the software. If they are offering this software for free then they have a reason - there must be some return. On this basis please could you find some decent games that are suitable for those of us who are past the 'reflex' type game ... I want something that will challenge my brain not my reflexes or hand/eye coordination. Please.

can't even get it to run (win2k, 1.8ghz, etc, etc).. Just launches the process and does nothing. No loss given the comments above.. Proceeding to the allegedly quick/easy uninstall.

this game, crazy cong2 cost 5 euro in the shop (Do they sell damn games like this(never go to a shop like that)) and crazy cong 1 is 10 euros LMFAO
Is it so bad then number 2 :P

couldn't even get the game to download. Tried several times. After the bad reviews I am glad it didn't

#29 here again. Downloaded it and gave it a try, just to see how bad it was. Nice looking game (if they spent as much time on the controller issues as they did with their rather spiffy opening logo screen, it would be a much better game), but the onscreen movement in the game - as previously addressed MANY times - was just too difficult. Deleted immediately.

is it like a game i used to play at the arcade in the seventies? i just bought a new graphics card but i guess i should go back to a commodore 64. I had thousands of games like this..all just shareware.

By the way. Why did the magnussoft installer yesterday show "Merscom LLC" on the left side. Another company with thousand names like doublegames? Oo

EXCUSE ME FOLKS ........... you guys are NOT ALONE HERE!!! Some of us LOVE Mahjong and such games!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately I am still on this ancient laptop but I downloaded it in hopes I can transfer it once the desktop is repaired. I am sorry you are not getting what YOU like BUT I don't complain on the days they give away the shoot-em-up-bang-bang stuff or role-playing stuff you like so leave it be when it is stuff I like!!!

There is a difference between "wow this is crap you all suck!" and I dislike the game because..... #13 is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. It's a free game. Just say you don't like because and move on. Everyday I see "this sucks butt and you do do give us something better!" but it's a rare thing for me to see "didn't like todays but I'll try tomorrow, thanks." Be polite especially to the people who work hard to find you FREE SOFTWARE.

I downloaded barkanoid but haven't played it. I played Art Mahjongg once and probably will play again but I couldn't figure out (if even possible) how to take it to a window instead of full screen as Mahjongg is one of those games I like to play for a quick break from doing other things. To the developers if you bother reading this, when I first saw this game/screenshots on here I was interested but then I didn't even bother to download these two Cong games because of the various reviews of problems controlling the characters. Just wanted to let you know.

It looks like another bomb from Magussoft I want to like this company. I really do. However giving us crappy games that are more frustration than fun is not the way to win customers over. All the negative comments about Jacks Crazy Cong should have given the publisher some idea that the game needed some improvements. Instead of addressing the issues that were raised they just moved on with a sequel. This sequel is doing worse rhan the original game. Why push a sequel of a game that was so poorly received? Thank you GGAOTD for the games/programs you give to us. Thanj you Magussoft for the contribution. While most will pass on this one we are still waiting for spmething from you that will really be a great game. I think you have it in you.

#24 If you don’t like it don’t download it.

Dave, And just how am I supposed to know if I will like it if I don't download it? And you can bet your grungy underwear, if I DON'T like it because of crappy programming, I'm going to post my opinion!

I agree with Number 3

I was fine with Barkanoid and Art Mahjongg, but given the lousy reviews that yesterday's Cong got, and the fact that this one doesn't seem to be faring much better in the ratings department, I may just have to pass on this one too.

#24. why does it have to be kids to not like a game? I didn't download this because of the kids reviews.I trus the reviews people put up. Good thing i missed this one.

I downloaded this game for my daughter. She played it 2 min & told me to uninstall it.

Yet another crappy game from Magnussoft. After suffering through Baraknoid2, Art Mahjongg, Jack's Crazy Cong, and now Jack's Crazy Cong 2, it's safe to say that every time I see that a game is manufactured by Magnussoft, I'll pass on downloading.

I'm convinced. I'll skip this one. I learned from yesterday and thank you all for your comments that saved me from another bad game.

If you don't like it don't download it. Must be alot of kids on here, all the do is complain....

I hoped for improvement in the new version but it's the same crap.
Is good for free but not good to play.

yesterday some mahajongg and tody this?? what in the hell is 2morow?

Dude ! Double Games. LMFAO.

all the bad points in the first game are still present in this one.
if you wish to decide if you should dl this game, just make the same decision you made with the first one.

Everyone should email the maker of these Cong games and left them know the issues with their games:

#14 - You might be right about not having to download a free game but I can assure you that I review all the commits before I download any game. It lets me know just how good or bad the game is before wasting my time on a download. Don't think I will be trying this game out. I appreciate all the commits EVERYONE makes. Keep up the good work!

Normaly I like platform games, but this game are the worst I ever seen. You can't program the keys. The character keep going even after you stopped pressing the button and you can't jump over anything.

The old Duke Nukem 1 is much, much better, because that works as it should.

This is the worst crap ever made.

The only positive thing to say about the game are, that the uninstall works perfectly.

Awful, awful game. It's virtually unplayable. Challanging?... Nah, it's just awful. The music is good though.

Im glad ppl are letting us know whats wrong #14, this way other know not to bother with it. Thanks to all who gave it contructive criticism, it helps me decide whether to bother. Of course there are always useless whining but such is life lol.

#14,

The internet has asked me to thank you for your contribution, which contents have been noted.

Boy, so many complaints for FREE games that no one forces you to download...

yesterday some mahajongg and tody this?? what in the hell is 2morow?

cant they pick some better made games this game looks like something someone out of a gamer school would make

It can be neatly summed up by how Stephen King would put it
namely : ssdd

Hoping that this sequel would perhaps have addressed some of the issues I mentioned which were in the original version, I installed it and gave it a trial.

Nothing has changed unfortunately as far as controls, movement, etc are concerned, so this will still be a very frustrating game to try and play.

Rather than repost my entire review here, go back to the first Crazy Cong offering and read post #32.

I'm sorry to see that, the game has potential. It needs some recoding and then it could be a decent game. I know this is an older game so perhaps it is not a priority, but it is something for the developer to consider. He would be better off having happy customers who bought it vs. frustrated ones and it could potentially increase his sales.

Apart from some new level sets this seems no different to the other days offering. You really need to dump the AVI, and improve the help menu. Some of the most glaring of omissions from the first release are still there; for example you still haven't added a drop command (alt) or enabled the items that are picked up to remain in play once they are dropped, or allow Jack to climb the ladders with the objects he's picked up. 5 out of 10 for a free game; but there's no way I'd pay for it when the give away period is up. Check back to the last giveaway if you haven’t seen the previous one:

http://game.giveawayoftheday.com/jacks-crazy-cong/

It only received 45% of 114 votes.

Hmm im unsure

No lessons learned here. Check out the comments for Jack's Crazy Cong 1 and move on.

One crappy game is more than enough, don't make sequels for a horrible original.

I really like the fact that one day will be a game and the next few days will bring a sequel or sequels. For those that liked the original game it's a blast to complete a set. Great job GGOTD. Look forward to tomorrow!

The controls and how its setup are the worst I ever played,horrible game,don't bother trying it out,I uninstalled within 5mins

Absolutely frustrating game - do no waste your time with downloading it, I beg you.

Some of the problems - I only played 5 mins before I uninstalled it!
- The character keeps moving once you stop pressing the button.
- Cant jump with items
- Cant climb with items
- Instructions are poorly explained
- There was no explanation as to how to remove the fire extingusher and stop using it
- Sometimes you had to move with the platform, othertimes you just stand there
- poorly calculated character location; ie if you where away from the barrel visually it sometimes still hits you, also if you are on a ladder between two levels but your head hits the barrel, it often does not kill you
- Help should be call instructions (but I use that term loosely)
- Why is there even fire? Does not fit in with the game design what so ever, how about attacking jungle fire ants instead?
- I beleive that the game uses a HUGE grid design to locate the character and this causes a lot of the faults, a real programmer should be able to use Smaller grid design (smaller squares) for better repsonse. Very poor planning

Good points on the game
- Good music
- Decent graphics
- Uninstall works well

Overall I would rate this game a 1/10 I would never buy this game, and wouldn't even give it to my worst enemy.

Again save your time and go play a game on the NES or C64, it would be a lot more enjoyable then this tripe.

p.s. there was one good thing about this game... the uninstall was fast :)

If you thought Crazy (K)Cong was bad...
Well we have found a new low ppl...
Its basically the same bad game, just diffrent maps and diffrent "prizes". They didnt even change the shortcut.
If you ask me the original Donkey Kong is better than this game even for todays standerds...
