Shareware games

[jude]

Anyone else buy shareware games?

I've bought quite a few over the years. They are usually worth the money, too.

The only problem I have with them is if the codes expire (which is a real problem when I get a new computer or have to re-install my system software) or quit working with newer versions of the game.

Some of my favorites are:

Escape Velocity Override
Nethergate
Blades of Avernum
Ricochet Lost Worlds
The Goalkeeper
Golden Logres (Pinball)
Monster Fair (Pinball)
Ultimate Pool
Ocean Express
Lux Delux
Rainbow Web
Mystery Case Files: Huntsville
Bounce Out
QBeez 2
Magic Stones
Evolutionary War

Many of these are sold by their creators, but gamehouse.com is a good source (and often offer discounts for purchasing more than one game) for both Mac and Windows versions of some of them.

I still love and old logic puzzle game called Sherlock. It was in DOS, but my hubby found a version for XP, well, sort of, it still opens a DOS shell....

Bounce out is a favorite of mine to play OL, I even found a site that keeps your high scores and has daily high scores. They host a game called Text Twist that we often play together (I have spelling and typing issues.)

Yeah, Text Twist is fun. I like word games and have quite a few on my Mac, most of them shareware (or freeware):

Bookworm
X-Words
Text Twist
Flip Words
Find a Word
Hangman
Spell-O-Gram
WHATword
Scrabble
Letter Connector
Word Wits
Acropolis
Boggle
Word Tracer

and I know there are a lot more out there!
