Yours,
Slava

  1. Thank you very much for the update. I hope that your project is going well. It will be great to have a game offer this weekend, too. I didn’t realize just how much I missed them - thank you so much for all your hard work. Have a great day!

  2. I just wanted to thank you for all that you have made available on your website to us. As a senior, many of the games I have downloaded are great for hand and eye coordination. If I have a problem registering something, so be it, as I am not very experienced with alot of the things on the computer. Maybe I’ll get it next time. At least I try, and am appreciative of all you offer us. I do not have any complaints. Thank you again.

  3. Hi all: Thank you for bringing the daily game giveaway back. Many of us are hoping for repeat games. We’ve all missed a couple while out of town etc. I hope people will just download what they like and stop whining about what type of games are being offered. We all like different types of games. I missed Age of Japan 2 and am sad to have done so. I personally like match 3 games, many hate them. Please, people…just download what you like and come back the next day and do the same. No comment is necessary about the types of games being offered. Download or don’t. Thanks again guys !

  4. You rock! Thanks so much.

  5. I would just like to say that I am so glad to have you giving the games away again… it is nice to get the ones I like and to try “new” ones to see if I might like them too.
    To many of us, this is the perfect place to find out about different types of games and I personally like to read notes from the “pros” about the different publishers to save myself grief down the line.
    Again Thank you for all the “give aways” and the help from many of your followers.

  6. Hi GOTD,
    I have purchased many games, but until I found your website a few weeks ago, have never received a free game! I wanted to say thank you so much for them! I, along with many of the people who have left comments, am truly thankful! I have chronic pain, and games are the only thing that can take me into another level and away from the pain temporarily.

    I am wondering if one of the reasons for going to weekends only was due to the appalling lack of appreciation…even worse…hateful mean comments made by sad ugly people. Because your games have helped me so much, it actually hurts me to read some of the unreasonable nasty comments made by them. I can only conclude that they are children(of the mind if not actually in physical years)and haven’t been taught any better. These games are GIFTS. And they have helped me beyond measure!

    I am not one who likes to leave comments…I am not computer savvy, but in this case, I did want to make sure that I added my thanks along with those who truly appreciate you.

  7. Thanks again for such a great site! Keep up with
    the good work and let us enjoy more good games.
    Thank a lot.

  8. at least its easier to view…wish you all the best!!!

    Comment by too456 — March 21st, 2008 at 9:10 pm
  9. Thank you.

    As a side note to Sherry. I empathise with you with respect to using games as a form of distraction therapy. I play games every day to help distract me from the ever present pain,; which despite strong opoids gets no better till I’m lost in the fantasy of the game.

    I’ve really appeciated this project since late Nov 06 when I discovered it. And it has been(apart from this last week) something I’ve looked forwards to every day.

  10. First off..I’m glad it’s finally the weekend! I want to say thanks for a great website and all of the software you offer. I have gotten tons of fun games over the last few months. This is one of the first sites I hit as soon as I get on the computer and I can’t believe how much I have missed the games this past week. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

    Comment by eelydnic — March 22nd, 2008 at 3:04 am
  11. Thanks for GAOTD and Game GAOTD! We love the games.

    Perhaps repeating some for those of us who have missed a few might be a good thing.

    Thanks again.

  12. This is a wonderful site to visit. I love the free games and computer programs. I only found this site a month ago and would like to say thank you for bringing these wonderful freebies to us! You deserve a pat on the back. Keeping a website up and running is not easy to do. Keep up to good work.

  15. “Ditto” as #9 Stephen. I’m surprised at how many “handi-capped” use these games as an aid to their health. (Maybe I just notice it more.)
    Any games are better than none. I’ve found games in your forums from other members. They’re “filling the gap” for “new” games to play. I’m still re-visiting some of the near 100 games you have offered in the past. I just seem to get more excited when something “new” appears.
    I really appreciate these “up-dates” to understand what to expect. Please keep us posted as further developments occur. Thanks !

    Comment by Larry B. — March 22nd, 2008 at 5:02 am
  16. Thanks for all that you have done for us. Much appreciated. :)

  17. I am suffering withdrawl symptoms! IT’S SATURDAY AND THERE’S NO GAME

    Please please someone go and work for these top guys free of charge and help them out!

    Comment by rt — March 22nd, 2008 at 6:56 am
  18. Thank you so much for the games. I hate to see them not offered every day, but will settle for weekends. Keep up the good work. For those of us that never complain about them, thanks again.

  19. GOTD team, thanks for giving us ’something’! I’ve been looking forward to the weekend to see what you would have to offer, and good luck in your projects!

    whiterabbit, this will give you more time for other things instead of writing a detailed daily synopsis!! So, things DO happen for a reason!

    Happy Easter to all!

  20. Just a suggestion to Salva and game give away of the day. I realize your having some type of issues. Very sorry to hear that, really I am. I to am just another greatful person that has been coming to this site daily now for just shy of a year and have got many free games and software on the flip side of this board. I commend you, Salva and your staff for I realize your jobs are not easy.
    Having said that, I realize your trying to pick up I.T. personal for your team. I would strongly suggest even as busy and as crazy as things are their. I would add at least a game give away on Wednesday’s to kind of break things up and would also create a calm among people that come here daily.
    In other words, if you were to hold a game give away on every Wednesday, I believe people would be much more understanding of games on weekends only until you have the proper staff.
    So, I would ask you, Slava, could we please have a game on Wednesdays in addition to the weekends ?
    Thanks for your consideration, Slava. I wouldn’t even mind if all the games were repeats and probably no one else here does either.
    Thanks again, Slava and happy passover to all who celebrate. Salute.

  21. When my previous computer crashed I passed it on down the family line and bought a new one. Clueless about VISTA I was less than happy to find that none of my toys worked with the new one. Cameras, games, interactive screen savers that my grandkids LOVED for years …all GONE!
    Not in a position to replace all those programs
    at todays prices………….imagine my delight to get the GOTD link!
    Thank YOU ………….
    I now have something to do everyday besides just HATING on VISTA!!

    Comment by APE131313 — March 22nd, 2008 at 11:36 am
  22. Hi guys, well, I’ve waited ’til Saturday but NO GAME. Having to wait until the weekend is bad enough, but no game at all then, which weekend did you mean to start, did you forget to say? I too am a game only downloader and wish the decision had been the other way round. It was bad enough losing all the ones I had on my old pc when I upgraded to a new one, but not to be able to replace them with others is bad. I am house-bound and rely on my games to save my sanity during the long hours when I’m alone. So come on chaps get the games back on the site ASAP.

  23. Hi Everyone:
    First off, I want to thank you for all your efforts on finding as diverse a selection of games as you do. It has got to be extremely difficult to talk a company into giving away games the have spent money on, for development, licensing, promotion, etc. A lot of us appreciate what you do for us! To Sherry (#6), I also, along with several other members of the GGOTD community share your plight, and understand all to well what you mean! Your words said it perfectly! To everyone else: Have a great Easter Holiday! Lloyd.

    Comment by Lloyd — March 22nd, 2008 at 12:29 pm
  24. I would like to agree with comment No.11. I lost a load of games from this site when I had to upgrade to a new pc. Repeating a load of the old ones would not only enable newcomers to get the games, but I could enjoy once again the games I came to look forward to playing but couldn’t transfer to my new pc.

  25. I also second the request for repeats. The first game I downloaded from GAOTD was Buku Dominoes back when the games site was still on haitus. I have since bought a new computer and would like to load it on the new machine, plus pick up many of the older games from before I started. Thanks again for the games. I have bought several games from publishers once I get an idea of their quality.

    “I am wondering if one of the reasons for going to weekends only was due to the appalling lack of appreciation…even worse…hateful mean comments made by sad ugly people. Because your games have helped me so much, it actually hurts me to read some of the unreasonable nasty comments made by them.

    Gah. How many times has this argument been debunked? I don’t know…about ten, maybe.

    Look, just because something is a gift doesn’t make it worthwhile. Negative comments are the most important ones, as they inform potential users just what they’ll get. Allow me to use an analogy.

    You have just ordered filet mignon at a fancy-pants French restaurant(this site). When the waiter brings you your order, you find that he is carrying a plate of dirt(a horrible game). However, he doesn’t charge you for it(obviously)! That makes it OK, right(after all, it was free)? Wrong - I think that you’d probably leave, and tell your friends not to eat there, either(a negative comment).

    See, negative comments, for the most part, are perfectly justified. There is nothing “hateful”, “mean”, “unreasonable”, or “nasty” about comments saying that Jacks Sokoman(or any other horrible game) is bad - and there is nothing “sad” or “ugly” about the people who make them.

    Anyway, since there have been just as many (justified)complaints about the utility giveaways, why are they still here?

    Comment by Lockett — March 22nd, 2008 at 1:18 pm
  27. Thanks GOTD. This site is the best, lots of great progs. Can’t beat the price, either! Who doesn’t like free? Your users/reviewers are always there to help me decide which ones fit my needs.

    Comment by kaetrace — March 22nd, 2008 at 4:07 pm
  28. OK, so it is Saturday and you promised 2 great games fo the week.
    Where are they?

  29. Oh man, i mist you so much this week, is this normal?
    But i am glad it is weekend so i can download a game, jippie.

    For Stephen and Sherry, i feel for you both that you have so much pain every day, the hole day.
    i can understand that you missed the games every day.
    i to play games every day to relieve my burn out. i give me rest and peace so i don’t have to think of the problems i have until my kids are at home from school.
    I wish you well and all the best and hope for myself, for you and for everyone else that the games come back again every day. Stephen, i will thank you for your hard work to describe the game every day. I look always at first at your description before i download the game or not. I hope that you will continieu to do that.

    Thank you again Slava and the team for your afford and your hard work.

    Greetings from the Netherlands.

  31. Just wanted to THANK YOU, for the excellent service you offer. For the most part I really enjoy the offerings, some are not useful to me due to interest but I have downloaded many and all perform as stated with usually no problems installing or running. I just today noticed that you are offering games and read your blog about them being on weekends. I will look forward to weekends especially as I think my grandchildren will benefit greatly. I really appreciate your service and hope you continue a long time.
    Thanks to you and your whole team for your excellent efforts and work.

  32. Thanks for all the hard work you do getting games and other applications to us. Much appreciated! :)

    Comment by Miss Lux — March 22nd, 2008 at 10:52 pm
  33. Thanks for the update.

  34. #6, Sherrie

    I agree with your comments - to a 95% or > level.

    A game can be a pleasant distraction and help move me out of “self”. I find that when my pain is especially intense a game needs to very simple to play (not pushing 3-keys and a mouse button at once to make the chacter run and jump over a pit) but still have some challenging levels. Depending on the pains intensity. I may only play it a very short amount of time. When I stop playing, I will not move away from the game but will stay nearby so that I can keep coming back over and over again.

    Some times I like pleasing music in the background. I like the music to be soft, free of words and consist of a short repeating melody. I do not enjoy the music - because at those times I can’t enjoy anything. The music I prefer is almost hypnotic in its own right.

    A game such as DNA can often fill the bill.

    Comment by Bigun — March 23rd, 2008 at 2:06 am
  35. I omitted one important game feature. I want to play the game against myself in the computer. Morphine slows down my reflexes to the point that I’m a poor challenger for other players.

    When I played the game against my computer in the computer begins to think that I’m stupid, I fix it by turning off the computer. No one is the wiser.

    Comment by Bigun — March 23rd, 2008 at 2:12 am
  36. Right On!

  37. TO THOSE WHO CAN’T FIND THE GAMES:

    The games are now on the same page as the software giveaway!
    Which is the main page.

    Thanks to all at GAOTD! I too missed Age of Japan 2, I don’t mind repeats!

  38. I just wanted to say thanks for all the games you provide for us, I am disabled and on a budget that doesn’t stretch far enough to affored computer game purchases, thanks to you I am able to have new games to play! As someone said before me, when you have chronic pain and you need a break from it, the games allow you to do just that. My hats off to all of you at GOTD, thanks again!! Jaclynn

    Comment by Jaclynn — March 23rd, 2008 at 3:36 pm
  39. Where is the main site? How do I see where the games are for giveawayoftheday? Can someone plaese tell me how to get there? Thanx

  40. “Ditto” #6 & 9 and many of the other similar and appreciative comments too. Having lived with chronic pain for decades, I can tell you the best treatments and opiates can only do so much. However, few things can compare to disassociating into a another world, such as a book and/or movie — but, a game tops the list because it’s interactive, and truly takes the focus off of the pain.
    Thank you so very much for both sites! Especially the free part, because chronic pain people, who take expensive meds, often trying to work from home, tend to be on a very limited budget .

    I have 2 requests if at possible:
    • Please offer the games (and software) again, whenever possible, for those of us who missed them, giving us another opportunity to check out the company’s product.
    • Please try to always offer Mac compatible software — for all of us creative types! :)

    Thanks again for everything! :) :)

  41. In response to #26 — Don’t you realize how not just hurtful, but destructive negative, insensitive, unappreciative comments can be? Especially unsolicited, nonconstructive comments. Common sense tells you if someone’s trying hard to find (2) products to give away for free, 365 days of the year, then certainly lots of negative comments will cause them to lose all motivation, fast.
    Since you like analogies, then imagine you’re trying to throw not 1, but 2, free parties every night & of course you want your guests/customers to be happy (so they’ll spread the word & come back for more), but all you hear is how unhappy everyone is , bitch, bitch, bitch… Your parties will come to a screeching halt real fast, since complaints are evidence that you’re not succeeding — after all they’re definitely not “happy guests” so, what’s the point?

    Comment by Lee — March 23rd, 2008 at 7:55 pm
  42. You can’t be serious #26!! In your words…

    “Look, just because something is a gift doesn’t make it worthwhile. Negative comments are the most important ones, as they inform potential users just what they’ll get… … negative comments, for the most part, are perfectly justified. There is nothing “hateful”, “mean”, “unreasonable”, or “nasty” about comments… … and there is nothing “sad” or “ugly” about the people who make them.”

    If you feel a gift isn’t worthwhile, then don’t accept it, recommend it or the site, or complain about it.

    Don’t accept something for free and then complain about it, and most certainly don’t come back for more! Maybe you’re just one of those negative people, who think it’s okay to never be happy, and think the world owes you something — as though you’re entitled.

    Comment by TJ — March 23rd, 2008 at 8:17 pm
  43. WOW!!! to #’s 6,9 and 40. I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one that uses this site as a comforting and theraputic sence of pain reliever. These games are a GREAT way of taking you into another world and TOTALLY easing and sometime taking away the pain out of your mind even if for just those few hours.
    I’m soooooooo happy that I’m NOT alone with my feelings, I know that at times when I tell my husband that this is a way of me to get away from my pain! he looks at me like I’m crazy…..LOL. Now I can show him that I’m not the only one that’s CRAZY to feel like this….LOL
    Thank you soooo much for speaking out about this. By the way, I suffer from Fibromyalgia. Fr those of you that don’t know what that is, it’s pain all over the body, joints and muscles and there’s no true cure for it or any true pain meds for it either. http://www.fibromyalgia.com if anyone is interested in reading on it.

  44. Great idea what you’ve done, it’s brilliant, (I do a lot of webmaster work, so I deeply appreciate this project) and we can count on the odd repeat to those of us who missed it. Your freeware library is also extremely useful, and to anyone who hasn’t been there yet: CHECK IT OUT!!! You won’t be dissappointed.

  45. Thank you for the recent Fatal Hearts giveaway. As fans of Anime, my friends and I eagerly await more giveaways in this genre.

    Comment by morganlefay — March 24th, 2008 at 4:10 am
  46. I agree that there should be a repeat of the games. I also had to clean my drive and lost all of my really great games. I really enjoyed The Rise of Atlantis, of course there was alot more.

    Comment by Alice — March 24th, 2008 at 4:35 am
  47. Beautiful work i must say
    All of the games or softwares offered are interesting to someone and this work has been wonderfully dealt with

  49. Since I am new to the site, game repeats would be great. Fine by me!Thanks, Laurie

    Comment by Laurie — March 24th, 2008 at 8:56 am
  50. Why bother complaining. It’s thier money coming out of thier pockets, and it’s nice that they are even doing this for us, so no reason to complain. Plus, anyone ever heard: Beggars can’t be choosers.

    Comment by ww2nerd — March 24th, 2008 at 11:47 am
  51. I’ve been visiting your site for about four months now and I try to remember to do it every day. I’ve been exposed to some excellent software that I can personally use and also refer to friends and associates. I’m an IT manager and people come to me with requests and suggestions so something like this is perfect for me because it gives me an opportunity to try the software without spending an arm and a leg. Most of my needs center around utilities because I’m really not a “game” person however I’ve downloaded a couple of games that I’ve enjoyed immensely and would recommend in a heart beat. I think its a great marketing tool for the vendors because I know that I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase some of the applications if needed and I encourage others to do the same if it fits their needs.
    Thanks for your service and good luck with your future growth.

  52. Re: # 26’s comment:

    “You have just ordered filet mignon at a fancy-pants French restaurant(this site). When the waiter brings you your order, you find that he is carrying a plate of dirt(a horrible game).”

    I don’t understand this part of your analogy. Comparing a site whose existence is based upon giving away programs for free, to a high-end French restaurant…doesn’t make sense unless the restaurant was also giving away the filets?

    There’s a way to make constructive criticism about flaws of a game/program, and then there are complaints based on personal preferences. The former can help the developers create new games, as well as provide a heads-up to others who would potentially download the games. The latter, well, it can come off as being sour, because…what’s the bother in complaining that one didn’t like a free gift because it wasn’t what was wanted?

    I rarely see people complain about the posters who make legitimately helpful critical comments that can be used to enrich the use of this site. The complaints are usually about the the small but vocal group who seem very negative about the games, but whose negativity serves no purpose.

    And also, I’ve seen few people say they were bothered by constructive criticism–they’re bothered by the negativity, which are two different things.

    “Re: # 26’s comment:

    “You have just ordered filet mignon at a fancy-pants French restaurant(this site). When the waiter brings you your order, you find that he is carrying a plate of dirt(a horrible game).”

    I don’t understand this part of your analogy. Comparing a site whose existence is based upon giving away programs for free, to a high-end French restaurant…doesn’t make sense unless the restaurant was also giving away the filets?”

    An analogy can never be completely accurate. I wanted to imply that the customer was hoping for something good(the filet mignon). If I had made it a gift from the person’s granny, then it would have been a gift, rather than a giveaway(a gift is personal, a giveaway is not). If I had made it a promotional giveaway for a company or something, then the person would not have hoped for anything good. If they had won something, it would imply exclusivity. So, in order to make the more important point(that they were hoping for something good, and were disappointed by the dirt), I used a restaurant.

    “There’s a way to make constructive criticism about flaws of a game/program, and then there are complaints based on personal preferences. The former can help the developers create new games, as well as provide a heads-up to others who would potentially download the games.

    I agree with you 100% there.

    “I rarely see people complain about the posters who make legitimately helpful critical comments that can be used to enrich the use of this site. The complaints are usually about the the small but vocal group who seem very negative about the games, but whose negativity serves no purpose.”

    I say that stupidity should speak for itself through negative comment ratings, but I can see why somebody would feed a troll. Still, most of the time, that isn’t the case. I see the “dont coplain its FREE” people a WHOLE lot more than the “i hate this can we get som action” people.

    “And also, I’ve seen few people say they were bothered by constructive criticism–they’re bothered by the negativity, which are two different things.”

    Well, yeah, hardly anybody will say that they dislike constructive criticism - they’ll gloss over anything negative with their hideous platitudes. I guess that that’s what you meant by the second part of your statement here.

  54. I am another one who has Arthritis and often in pain as I am allergic to so many of the pain drugs on offer and I love this site as like Sherry and others, Games often take me away from the pain. Keep up the Good work GAOD I love 99% of the gifts on both sites and if I don’t want it I don’t have to download it…..So there is no need for the nasty comments by the sad few that have nothing better to do with their time than bad mouth a great site

    Comment by Jan — March 25th, 2008 at 8:03 am
  55. Just an FYI for whatever it’s worth…
    Now that games are on the main site I’m forgetting to check for them (not showing at top of rss feed for GOTD, and GGOTD remains - sadly - empty) - any particular reason why they were moved from the game page? Would it be a big hassle list it both places? Not trying to grouse, just finding my happy place.

    Comment by monkie — March 25th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
  56. I’ve been checking GOTD pretty religiously for a couple of months now. Thank you for all the offerings. I’ve found some great utilities AND games, also leading to me considering purchases for other products published by the relevant software companies. My little kids love some of the games (as does their mum), including a Fairy flowers one listed a couple of months back. I enjoy playing them too. I’m missing the daily offerings, now that they’re not there. Hope they can come back soon. I too would appreciate any repeats as I’ve lost a couple of games and utilities due to hard drive crashes. Thanks for all the free stuff!

  57. After the game giveaway and giveaway are posted, I would read about the product and decide if it is worth downloading. I do have a collection of both giveaways. Then I would read the comments left by the public to determine if MY initial findings was shared by anyone. Some comments help, some don’t and some don’t make any sense.

    One thing I’ve learned from some of these comments, is that, it is easy to lose track of this sites intention. Comments here are ’self-oriented’ (what I want) and not what is needed to improve products. My view is, this is a vicious cycle which was created by the comments left by the visitors of this site. Let me explain when I say vicious cycle. Developers of these products are reading these comments and doing as you suggest. They then try to accommodate your requests (as you suggested) only to have it rediculed over and over again……….vicious cycle. They cannot please everyone! Try to keep it product oriented.

  58. Haha -

    Isn’t it amazing? All the while the games were coming, all you could read here was whining about the quality, etc. Now it’s much appreciation and all.

    I guess the whiners all went to some other site to continue their whining… and left us with a whole lot of… ???

  59. Gee I’ve been wondering why I didn’t get a daily email. I miss checking to see what the new game is. I play these games every day and when the GKs are here they love them. I had just gotten them to sign up for the daily email at their home. In fact I’ve not even installed my paid-for games on this pc.
    Poor #26, I think he’s been watching too much arguing and sniping and rudeness on the political news stations and it must have rubbed off on him.

  61. Please point me to the site where daily game giveaways are to be. I must have missed something. Ava

  62. Where is the main site, so I can get the games again? I have missed being able to try different games each day.

  63. Hello all,
    the main site is http://www.giveawayoftheday.com

  64. Bottom line, I used this sight for free games. I critiqued some, had fun. But its over as I knew it.I’ll check you out on the weekends maybe. But I was looking for a free sight when I found you, and there are SOOOO many other free sights that it will be an easy transition. I am sure it will be harder for some but trust me the world is a much bigger place than ggad, so I encourage all to let this be a stepping stone and not a stumbling block. I too live with “chronic pain” and am partialy disabled and I do use games to just zone out. In fact when I was laid up for 18 months they became my escape. But alas insureance runs out and kids need college money so back to work, with the pain and the pills. Good night to all. On a side note, thanks to Stephen (white rabbit) for your reviews they helped me trash many a crummy game before I even saw it.

  68. You know, if you are not planning on giving away games anymore that is your business… but don’t lie to us and tell us you will have them on the weekends. It makes your company look unreliable. Fortunately for you your services are free to the public because any company expecting pay for the kind of unreliability you’ve shown would sink fast.

  69. Where are the games? It´s the weekend now…DOn´t know where the main site is.

  70. Thanks for many, many, many wonderful games (as Captain Lassard from the Police Academy would say)! The Armadillo game would be great for one of the future editions of GGOTD :D

  71. I just have to ask! Judging from the games this weekend, is this the end of the road for the game side of this site?

    That is the feeling I’m getting!

    Will hate to see it go!

  78. ever since you began the weekend game giveaway, I cannot get any games. I download them and when they go to install, I get an error msg and it shuts down. HELP - I so look forward to the weekends to get a new game and it happens with them all.

  79. I would love to have the game Nuclear Ball brought back, I never was able to get it downloaded. This is such a great site!

    Comment by Michelle — April 7th, 2008 at 6:37 am
  80. I think you guys have a great site and a great idea. The free software is very helpful. I am not sure how the time limit works though, At 7:00AM CDT the site says 19 hours left yet 13 hours later at 8:00PM CDT the registry entry is gone and the program is only a demo. How is the time figured and how can I tell how long I have to get home from work and download the program?
    Thanks

  81. #77 -Kathy..upper left hand tab…says “Main”.
    And BTW…I love the site!!! Thanks for all the giveaways..

  82. I would also like to say thank you for all of the wonderful games and programs that you have given away in the past years. I have been using your site for 3 plus years. Sometimes I found sometimes I can use and sometimes not, but I still appreciate the time you have taken to provide these games to use. If I cannot use the program that day maybe someone else can. Two years ago Memorial week-end, I was down loading a game from your web site and before I could finish activating it I had to go to the ER as my son was in a life threating situation, so for the next month I spent all my time at the major trama center in my state. He had broken every bone in face and skull at the time–healing ok now, still a ways to go, but you would not know it by looking at him now — ATV rack drove into check. The only thing that saved him was no helmet on. Anyways, when I finally got home again and did try to get the program up and running, I was able to contact the company that had provided the game and they were so nice to me, they even sent the activation code to me so that now the game is mine and we both enjoy playing it. So again I would like to say “THANK YOU, and keep up the great work that you are doing”. And to all of the whinners out there, you are not the only person they are helping, so remember there are alot of other people who could use the program, if you cannot. For all of you people who are in alot of pain, I fill for you guys. I know what contanstant pain can do to a person and I also know that games do help to take your mind off of it for awhile. So keep up the great work!
