Free Games at Tucows

Dianna · Post by **Dianna** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 1:38 am

Just wanted to let you know about a site called Tucows, which has all kinds of freeware and other games some of which, although simple, are a lot of fun. I haven't tried any of the Sokobon-type games yet, but I see there are some. I have downloaded a couple of the adventure games. It's a very easy site to use, and downloading from them has been trouble-free.

They are at:
http://games.tucows.com/

Best friends is a good game, sadly not enough levels and no editor

Gold Miner Joe is also a good game

Yes, I think Best Friends is cute, although I've only played the demo. I also like Platypus at lot -- wonderful claymation.

my liscense allows me to install the full version of best friends on any family computer, so how can I become a member of your family and be able to send you the file

Well, actually we already are members of the same (Wonderland) family, but somehow I don't think this is what those folks had in mind.

Thanks for the reminder!!!! I bought Goobs, they are cool, and demo of Lost Idols was fun. Demo of Domino Dash is real good, but I have the snes version(Pushover). I'm downloading demo of Zuma now, looks pretty interesting!!! Now you get back to work making the next version of Wonderland!

Oh my gosh! -- You guys have reminded me of games I've got on my computer & have been neglecting due to WONDERLAND!!! Goobs I love - also Lost Idols. Has anyone tried Colony?? REALLY like this one! (Wonderland will probably ALWAYS be my all time favorite, tho!)

Lost Idols

I'm not surprised you have lost idols. I noticed you like to make similar breakaway puzzles in some of your games. I have the full version of that game and also enjoy it so I enjoy when you and others make those similar type puzzles. I do like the variety though that is found in both Wonderland and Goobs where the puzzles can break away but there is more to the game than just that.

Goobs and Wonderland are tied as my favorite games because of the variety of fun and because they have editors.

ive never actually played Goobs, i might download a demo or something today

BIGZIPZ · Post by **BIGZIPZ** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 4:02 pm

I tell a lie, just looked at the homepage for it and i have played it before, I didnt like it though

Give MUMMY MAZE a try. Demo available at www.popcap.com.

Has anyone tried Gruntz?? THIS is a fun game, too! Really like this one, but I've only got the demo so far; I was thinking of getting the full version, but I keep getting sidetracked with Wonderland. I'll probably do it when I think I need a break from Wonderland (WHEN will that be??)!!

BIGZIPZ · Post by **BIGZIPZ** » Fri Mar 12, 2004 7:30 pm

Gruntz is brilliant, and it has a simple level editor

buy now!

majic1 · Post by **majic1** » Fri Mar 12, 2004 11:22 pm

Level editor, huh? hmmmmm

I just finished playing a freeware adventure game that I downloaded from Tucows called Out of Order. If you're an adventure game fan, you might want to give this a try. It's fun and has some pretty good puzzles.

Hi Dianna,

Thanks for the info regarding Tucows - had a brief look and have added it to my favourites list

I will download a few of the games for my wife, Jan, to have a go at.

That, afterall, is how we became 'Wonderlanders'.

However, I spend way too much time with the Wonderland level editor already, so best I keep away from other editors for the time being

Since we're talking free fun, I just downloaded an odd little freeware game called "The Lost Toy," at www.quandaryland.com. You can find this under "free fun." It might be more accurately titled "how many ways can you die while lost in the woods?"

Dianna · Post by **Dianna** » Thu Mar 18, 2004 10:43 pm

If you're playing The Lost Toy and need a walkthrough, I found one at www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcAa/LostToy.htm. (I found that, even after I got out of the woods, I was still not out of the woods, so to speak.)

I'm finding this game to be very charming -- guess it really appeals to the Gramma part of me, since it was made by a Grampa for his little grandson. It's also got some good humor.
