You are a treasure Pilar! You're doing all the good work and we just sit as lazy as possible and enjoy your tips ;)

Thank you! I just sent you a Kudo. I wish the messages we post such as this about the free games and discounts could stay on the home page for a longer time. But the home page only holds 5 of the most recent posts and then they fall away. Things like these discounts are especially good for new players and will get them more interested in casual games.

Thank you, Pilar! I have a very limited budget so I appreciate the chance to add to my games!

Jaylee, Most of these games are basic but fun just the same. The Mystery Case Files Huntsville is the first game in the MCF series by Big Fish and it is an excellent game. If you don't have it you can get it free through the Hallmark promotion. Have fun!

Brava, Pilar!
What an amazing collection of tips! I'd write a longer "thank-you" but I'm off to follow your leads. Great research!

Thank you - I live on disability and it's hard to find the money for games. I've won a free game from Big Fish Atlantis, and found several promotions for free games in the past on different game sites. Some give freebies on their anniversaries and sometimes on holidays. I haven't ever thought about your idea though and it's a great one.

Wow Pilar thanks alot. FYI Alawar games site has something similar. You sign for a free trial through another website and they buy the game for you. That's how I got Virtual Farm.

For those of you who browse Big Fish Games, be on the lookout for a Chili's Restaurant ad. If you watch a very short ad, you can get a free copy of Burger Rush.

I saw the Chili's advertisement at Real Arcade today. I clicked on the link and watched the commercial and then I was directed to the GameHouse site and given the full version game Burger Rush for free. It's a cute game and you can't beat the price!

Copy and paste this link into your browser and it will take you to the advertisement. Have fun!

Pilar, is the Hallmark promotion still availabe? I went to the website but couldn't find anything about it. Also sent myself a card but nothing there either.

I just looked and it is still available. Here is the link. It is a long one so I don't know how well it will show up here. You will need to copy and paste it into your browser. http://www.hallmark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category4%7C10001%7C10...

If that does not work. Go to the Hallmark main home page at www.hallmark.com and at the top of the screen choose "Cards & E-Cards". Then on the next screen on the left side scroll over "ECards" and the purple window will open. In the middle row under "Collections" the last choice is "Ecards with free games". Choose that one and you will see the Big Fish logo and these are the cards that you send to get the connection to get the free game. I hope you find it! -

I’m glad that the Hallmark promotion as still available. Of the three games that are free, Mystery Case Files Huntsville is my favorite. I liked Mahjong Towers too, but I’m not too fond of Mystic Inn. But it takes all kinds of games to suit all kinds of people. I didn’t use the 50% off coupon because I’m a Big Fish $6.99 member. It would be nice if the 50% off worked on club prices but I guess I’m getting greedy! I hope you enjoy your games! -
Actually if you sent more than one card then you can download more than I game through hallmark promotion. I discovered this suddenly when I somehow missed the first step of unmarking the gameclub option and was asked to pay for the same. So i sent another card and created another username with bigfish. Then I used the second credit to buy Mystic inn. Just for fun I used my first coupon for buying another game using my secong id and It worked.

Although those games are not my type, I do appreciate little benifits now and then. Thanks!

Dare to Dream ZZ, Two of the promotions, Borders and Hallmark, have 50% off coupons for any game at Big Fish, not just the ones in the list. Happy gaming!

That's a great idea -- maybe you could post it as a suggestion to Gamezebo to have a "hints for new players" or "great general gaming tips" or something similar. It could be a small box or something on the home page with further links to great general gaming ideas!
Send a Kudo Post a reply Quote & Reply -
Every now and then Gamezebo has an article on their home page called Steals and Deals. In this article they list special deals that a lot of the game sellers are running. If you click on the Features link at the top of the page, you can scroll down and look for the article they posted on June 7th. Some of those deals have expired but some are still good.

Hey guys - another new place for some cool free games with some sweet rewards is here:
Playing games and having fun!

I am not sure if this has been discussed before
http://www.mostfun.com/GamesByPopularity.aspx
Tons of free games - you watch a short ad before, during and after the game but the price is right and the games are full version and you have no time limit - truly a great resource for those of us with limited budgets - and there are some really top notch games there

msannthrope, this is a brilliant concept. Advertisers will pay big bucks to get your undivided attention. The website will earn their income from a fee from the advertisers per download and the difference between a commission from the developer, etc. and the fee from advertisers will be made up by volume from gamers. This ties into the article on the home page today entitled "Give the People What They Want."

I downloaded The Lost Cases of Holmes from Most Fun and the ads are the least obtrusive yet - just when I load the game and end it. I got the full version no time limits and it is working just fine. I have gotten several others and no complaints and I sure cannot argue with the price. I suggest anyone reading this check it out - they have tons of free full version no time limit games. And these are the same games being SOLD elsewhere - believe me you have heard of them. Plus, it's just like TV - you get up and take care of your "needs" during the ads! I have no connection with Most Fun - I just think it is one of the best sites I have found so far.

I've been downloading from MostFun for quite awhile now. They have a ton of games of all genres, including some very popular recent games. They just recently started upgrading their games to be Vista compatible. I use my Vista laptop most of the timem, so I was thrilled. Win XP uses a game manager, but Vista just adds game to your desktop.

I agree that the ads are rare and hardly interfere with game play. I downloaded a few games from I-Win but their ads popped up every couple of minutes during game play, quite annoying. Now between MostFun Vista games and Shockwave, I don't use I-Win at all anymore.
There is also another game site for full version free games, called Free Ride Games. They don't have as large a selection as MostFun, but check them out. Also only an occasional popup ad.

I just saw that Robin had the great idea to post the free game information on the forum for each of these free games. It reminded me of this post that I saw earlier with many free games and free game sites. Free is good! Especially for all the new people that have joined lately.

Wow - I had no idea MostFun was still adding new games. I have their player and play games with it occasionally, but they haven't added any new games to it since January. I never thought to check the website, but it looks like they have a ton of new games.
Send a Kudo Post a reply Quote & Reply -
Lizzie, I think that's a great idea also. Since I have several that I've downloaded I will add a message to each of those game forums. As I have spare time, I can add more. Maybe we can also get a sticky'd thread in General Discussions call "Free Game Sites" or something like that. Keri

i'm having problems installing MostFun games, the installer comes up but doesn't do anything --- i blame vista, that always seems to be the problem. anyone encounter this problem? it'd be nice if there was a help section on the site....
Send a Kudo Post a reply Quote & Reply -
Keri,
I think Robin posted about the free Hallmark offer in the forums for MCF Huntsville and Mystic Inn. The only other game in the free Big Fish promotions that has a forum on Gamezebo is Fairies, the match 3 game. I posted a message on that game forum today. If you have other games that you got free and there is a forum here on Gamezebo I think new gamers would benefit from that information.It would be great if Gamezebo had a place to link to free game info and also tips for new gamers on where to find information. The reason I brought this topic up is because I have seen so many new people joining in the past few weeks and thought they might enjoy all the info in this topic about free games and free game sites. Maybe some more people will see it while it is on the home page for a few minutes.

@lizzie, this is a great idea. basically, we can have a forum for steals and deals that is always up.
@pillar et al, very cool that you found all these deals.thanks, joel

Sokeripupu - On my Vista laptop MostFun does not try to install a game manager, only on my XP desktop PC. The games just download like normal in Vista and a shortcut is added to my desktop. I'm not sure why it is trying to install the game manager on a Vista computer. I believe you can send a question to their tech support.Lizzie, I added the free game messages to the games that I got free from MostFun. Sorry, didn't realize you were talking about the BFG promo. But, I still say it's a good idea to post info about all the free games available.Keri

Excellebt tips all of you! On IWin you have also some free games but...The ads are impossible, every level or so. On one game, it was even during the level, meaning you would more or less lose it cos you have lost 30 seconds! I'm not against some ads to play free but not all the time!

How does MostFun work? Does it download the game directly to your computer? If you leave the game partway through, do you get to go back to where you left off, or do you have to leave it running until you finish the game? I was going to try a game from there, but if you have to play it until you finish, I'll have to wait until I have more time to play the game. Thanks. LindaB

Once installed, the MostFun games work like any other game, only with an ad playing when you start it and when you quit. Everything else works as if it were a game you had paid for.

Thanks Zborno. I have been looking over the games on that site, but will have to wait until I have a little more time to play any of them. I work for the next couple of days and then going away for the weekend. Hopefully my security program lets me use the site. LindaB

LindaB,I haven't had any trouble downloading from the MostFun site. I have several security programs running on my laptop and none of them have ever flagged MostFun or it's games. You should be OK.The ads do come up more than just at the beginning and end of a game; however, they are few and far between. Definitely not like Iwin...as Gaelle pointed out, they are way too frequent and pop up at the worst times. You should be able to find plenty at MostFun and FreeRide Games, or from the BigFish and RealArcade promos.Happy gaming!Keri

More free games
Report as InappropriatePosted on 05/25/08, 02:27pm
I went to the Borders, Verbatim, Roush Fenway Racing, and Hallmark E-card promotions. Each site asks for your email address and they email you the Big Fish coupon codes. There is a box to check if you don’t want any other junk mail from them. On the Hallmark site you have to send yourself an E-card but that is free too. The free games that are available are:
Mystery Case Files: Huntsville Detective Training
Mahjong Towers Eternity
Atlantis
Top Ten Solitaire
Fairies
Word Search Deluxe
Slot Words
Mystic Inn
Big Fish Games Sudoku
These are basic games but for someone new to casual games they are a good starting place. A couple of the sites also give you a coupon code for 50% off any game at Big Fish.
I also posted a message yesterday in General Discussions about free games from SanDisk & Big Fish for your USB Flash Drive. Send a Kudo Post a reply Quote & Reply
