Maybe that's a good thing scotcat, I looked of Alawar on yahoo's website and in big red letters in told me that it wasn't a safe site. Playfirst has it also.

It is odd, isn't it, that while some have issues with one site, others don't. Maybe our browser or individual software is part of the issue. Oh well, we just have to go with what works for us individually.

i have tried to download this from alawar onto my computer and my lap top.
the computer instals okay but then when i come to play it a message comes up saying problems and switches off
the lap top just wont let me down load at all
any help out there for a frustrated HO gamer.
the computer is Vista and the laptop windows xp
other wise might not be able to down load when it comes onto bigfish:0)

Hi Emma- I played the demo with Vista and no issues. Until Big Fish gets this one, you will have to check with Alawar.

Hey scotcat--I guess I'm in the minority with you. I don't seem to have any problems with iWin either. Though I tend to buy most of my games here at bfg, they do have alot of good specials on their steals and deals.

I haven't had any trouble downloading this game with Alawar. As far as iwin, I used to play their games all of the time. We have since updated our computer and I have nothing but trouble with them. Even turning game mode to on at ny firewall.
I recently did a leak check (Recommended by our paper's puter guru) 3 w's grc dot com. It checks your computer for any leaks going out or coming in. My was sealed.

You're welcome. I don't understand why the developers don't create a mac version at the same time. With the shortage of games for you guys, I'm sure they would get pounced on.

Downloaded the demo and, well, I loved it so much I could not resist. Hi, I'm Poodlebear, and I'm a gameaholic. Yep, I bought it at full price and I *never* do that. Two nights of TMs in a row and I'm jonesin' this bad for an HO/puzzler... *shakes head*

Anyway, *super* game, and since I just paid full price it will prolly be here tomorrow, so y'all can thank me.

emma2449, first make sure that you uninstall or delete anything that did get downloaded. Then, try the download at Playfirst to see if that one will download and play ok for you. Good Luck

Normally when a new game comes out at Alawar, it takes a few weeks until it shows up at , like Magic Encyclopedia ... I am sure we will get it but it might takes a while .... I want it too and I will be waiting ....

Magic Encyclopedia was an Exclusive at Alawar and I think it took 4-6 weeks before it came to BFG. This game does not have the exclusive label so maybe it will get here sooner. ...i hope!!
