Hey Dark, I think it was you who said you have the word games from 
7128? have you noticed how slow it seems?

I can also recommend their detective mystery games, more like a gamebook
than standard if with a choice based conversation system and fun background
ambience and videos.



Beware the grue!

Hey Dark, I went to the 7128 site and I'm wondering, do they let you demo 
any of there games? Wow, great prices.
I think the two games I'd like of theres are the definitions and the 
synonyms games.


Original message:

Fair enough, their not actually mine either, but you might enjoy search
party and chainlink, as well as jim's hangman and the 7-128 games.


I can also recommend bg crossword from spoonbill, I'm terrible at grid 
like
scrabble puzles myself, but bg crossword handles all the moves for you 
just

leaving you to guess the clues.



Beware the grue!

You know the one i like too is the all in play word games. I'm not a fan
of grids and such so any word games that has to do with grids mazes and
such aren't my cup of tea.



Hmm tea? Its cold, misty snowy maybe a cup of tea is in order?




Original message:

HI Lellia.



To be honest I'm less certain about bsc's wordstrain games, sinse
similar,
or indeed better versions of many of those games can be found for free.



For instance, there are the games from
http://www.omninet.net.au/~irhumph/blindgamers.htm which include a 
number

of
word games, and brainiac which functions rather like the word replica
game.


Then, there are the two dan Z titles chainlink and search party which 
are

now freeware and can be found on www.usagamesinteractive.com, not to
mention
Jim kitchin's hangman and concentration found at www.kitchinsinc.net.



You might also want to check out www.7-128.com which offer a number of
accessible word games involving deffinitions and unscrambling words 
which

don't cost much.



This isn't to say you shouldn't buy the bsc games, just if your
interested
in word games, there are many others around some of which may offer
similar
or possibly even superior gameplay to bsc's.



I for instance am a big fan of bg brainiac, which in concentration but
with
many different modes and interesting point scoring, thus making word
replica
a trifle superfluous to me.



Beware the grue!

I did it!!! I just couldn't help it!!!
I actually as I said before wrote to BSC support and got an email 
back,

so
what did I do?
I downloaded and tried Wordstrain vol 2 and I like it so far, I can't
get
that till next month, but since I liked vol 2 I figured and hope I 
will
like vol 1 so I bought it yay now waiting for the ID so I can 
play.

Word games here I come.
thanks to BSC for getting back to me so quickly.

Hi Dark,

Lol! Yeah, FreeTTS definitely won't win any awards for best sounding
speech engine of the year. Ug! I hate FreeTTS, and it sounds like
Robbie the Robot on drugs or something. I'm so glad they finally
upgraded to MS Sapi for Windows.

Cheers!
