Inspector Parker is a big favorite of mine. Didn't know anything about it until I was reading here a couple of months ago.

One game I couldn't get enough of (believe it or not) was Fizzball. It was great fun bouncing that ball around. Hubby DID think he might have to have me committed though.

The ones that I like that I don't think many others do are the Tradewinds games. I especially like Tradewinds 2 because I can eventually become a pirate!!


I love the Tradwinds too I thought I was the only one who played them!
I love the strategy/time management games myself...I'll have to try those 3 you mentioned above

I just thought of another one that I played over and over again - Angkor. It's also a match 3 game and was a lot of fun for me.

Hooray for Inspector Parker!

I also play Digby's Donuts and Ancient Tripeaks 2 to zone out.

Sounds like Inspector Parker is a big hit with a lot of you

I have just played Peggle - what fun! And it -is- very different, not like anything I've played before. I'm not much good

I have been enjoying the Match-3 games - I had never played that many and these are much more fun than I remember

Have you tried 4 Elements? It's a match game with a bit of hidden object and find the differences.

Does anyone remember the Super Granny ones? It's an old school style donkey kong platform type game that you move through levels and "save the kitties."
It was a fun one (to add to all of these other great ones mentioned).

Oh - I just thought of two more - Escape from Paradise (an island adventure, not as great as VV, but in that vein), and Grimm's Hatchery. Both more on the sim side of things.

If you like Peggle, you should try Bubbletown.
I also liked Inspector Parker and Be Trapped!

I absolutely loved the Supergranny games, I have them all. I used to play them for hours on end. These days I just have a quick fix now & again.
Platform games are my favourite type of game but they have to be GOOD ones, some are just trashy and have bad graphics.

I'm a huge fan of this genre. I just wish we'd get a new one before years end. I'm in the midst, for the umpteenth time, of SuperCow and Alex Gordon and about to replay The Tuttles.

What exactly is a "Platform" game?

ok, must admit *sigh* I like Ranch Rush too. Guess there's a secret gardener in me.

A platform game is exactly what it says. A game with platforms that you have to jump on to go higher or across the screen.

Think old Mario games, goes across the screen, lots of jumping and dodging. Can be fun, can be frustrating...!

You're welcome!

And thanks all for the commendation for Caribbean Holiday. Boy did that hour go by REAL fast! I have a credit and my hand is itching to click "buy"!
