FREE FULL Versions of Games for keeps. NO time limit!

Hi peeps!


I'm quite sure i have written about how to get your favourite games for free before. But nonetheless, lemme just write again.


DON'T be scared or LAZY to get and cancel those trial memberships!!


Shockwave offers 10 days unlimited games when you apple for their Shockwave Unlimited membership. Remember, these are FULL Versions and not the kind with 60min limit. Just login to your unlimited membership to gain access to the full version after you've downloaded and installed the game.


Pros: very portable


Cons: Only 10 days


Realarcade on the other hand, offers 1 free FULL Version for keeps when for every email account you sign up for a gamepass trial account which you must cancel within 30days to avoid being charged. First, you need to install their Realarcade software though.


Pros: get to keep the games forever. can redownload at any other computer. 30 days trial.


Cons: Need to install software


The only catch is you would need to use your credit / debit card to secure your trial membership. and that you hafta remember to cancel it!!



Now, i hafta tell you that i own a grand total of 32 full version games that i have acquired over the past 2 years. This is only on RealArcade and not even including scores of other games i've played on Shockwave.



There are several types of games that i like to play:

1. Search and find. Eg: The Scruffs




List of items you need to find are on the right. Click on the dog's bone to get a hint of where the item is if you're stuck. As for me, if i dont know the meaning of certain words or can't picture what they look like, i just search for their images at Google!


These type of games have further variations like:


a) Various Short games after you completed a round including jigsaw puzzles, spot the difference, unscramble words etc



b) Instead of words, they give you shadows of the items u need to find



c) Hints are awarded in diff manner. Eg: find the bone or click once n u hafta wait for the bar to fill up again before u can click on it again.


And they will always include a very nice story line. The Scruffs story started after the father lost his job and need to sell the house to get by. Turned out the grandfather has some treasure hidden away under double triple clues that they hafta solve....







2. Fast finger wins!



You hafta react to customer's orders quickly to fill them, get the money and achieve your sales goal.







The Apprentice Los Angeles





Cake Mania 2





The Apprentice Los Angeles came to a close 2nd behind my all time favourite Cake Mania 2. Actually maybe they are a tie lah. Both are number 1s in my book of games!





The thing i like about Apprentice is they have 3 or 4 different scenarios / shops and while its not exactly easy, its manageable. But stages towards the end of Cake Mania is very unnerving and intense! But I like Cake Mania for their colourful animations, their delicious looking cakes with different icing and toppings and for the machine UPGRADES! It's like working hard to buy your car or house, only instead of car or house, they let u upgrade for faster ovens and icing machines, faster shoes! Faster muffin oven to soothe the impatient customers, upgrade for more and diff toppings as well as faster ones.

I have to say though that i DONT LIKE! I repeat i dont LIKE Diner Dash. It's so mundane ok. seat ur customers, preferably according to their colours, serve them menu, collect their order, send their order, give and collect the check, clean the table. As another bonus, u get more points for chaining (doing one action eg serving menus to multiply customers in a row).


3. Strategy

Build-A-Lot


Build a town and achieve the mayor's specified goal before the deadline. You will start off with, let's say, $10,000 and 3 workers. Firstly, you hafta buy the blueprint on how to build, for eg, a Manor, an Estate etc. If you build a construction office, your employee will be more efficient and you can employ new workers at cheaper rate. Then if you build a bank, you can earn money. But if you donate the profit to charity, then you will get tax exemptions etc. So you need to strategise, really!

Just like Holiday Island, remember Ayah?


Fairy GodMother Tycoon


Fairy GodMother is another strategy game. But the difference is there's competition and you hafta kick them out of business! The storyline for this one is also cute. and before the start of a new business day, you hafta buy supplies, set your advertisement budget and method, read the weather forecast. In the forecast, they will say how many % of pple will get a certain sickness the next day, so ur supplies to make curing potions, shld be able to accomodate the Ill.


At first, only Kak Lily joins in the fun and joy of these games. She even subscribes to Big Fish Games which she pays monthly!! After a year or so, then Kak Long started to get hooked mostly on Search & find games only. But she prefers chatting to playing these games lah.


And now, i've got Mummy addicted to it too! I dont know to feel happy or guilty! Happy that someone shares my interest. Guilty that im responsible for her time away from her other responsibilities. hehe I've only introduced her to the Search & Find... Over the past week or 2, she's already finished 5 or 6 games twice each!
