Hi Phil I appreciate you sending out this reminder about the mouse optional games. I actually downloaded the first of the three games Fireman. I have to honestly admit I played four times two with the keyboard and two with the mouse. As unused to working the mouse as I am, game four with the mouse was for sure my best in rescuing falling people. Time to go back and look at the rest of them.
