Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Try this link for fish fillets:
http://fillets.sourceforge.net/download.php
And this one for other mostly free and/or open source games. It's
called the linux game tomb but many of hte games run on windows, too.

Jason,
Thanks for the heads up on the two games. Now I'll warn everyone else
on the list that getting Fish Fillets is a royal pain, and if they
want to try it (assuming they *have* a 'Doze system) they should
contact me so I can set up a direct d/l URL for them from my shell
account. I spent what felt like forever staring at a screen telling
me I should pay $6.95 a month for "Mercury Downloads" so that I could
get them at faster than the capped 500Kbs. Imagine what it's like to
have high speed service and have to wait for those speed to download
275MBytes of file. I hope it is worth the effort!! <G>
I found Enigma! far more easily; CNet doesn't cap download speeds
either. (Warning: this is *not* Enigma:Rising Tide)
Now I'm off to get some lunch started (had b'fast about midnight) and
will work on installing the games while the beans & ham are heating.
l.d.
P.S. Review may follow later
P.P.S. Found a link on "How Do I Remove..." for the files that
alledgedly are part of XP itself. I carefully copied the instructions
to an offline file, and start to follow the step-by-step given. Only
one problem: Neither of the choices, given by M$Nidiots as to
where/how to uninstall, exist on my system. Don't you just LUV
Windoze???!! NOT!!

I have similar experiences with linux and windows. I'll complain
about how something is annoying in linux(the system I use for all my
personal use). Then I'll have the occasion to do the same kind of
thing in winxp. Most often than not I end up thinking, "Maybe it
wasn't so bad in linux after all." :)
To be fair, the blame is shared between windows itself and software
developers.
Having said that, I think it's fair to point out specific parts of a
good program that you'd like to see improved.
Can't afford to buy logic type games? Have you tried fish fillets
and enigma? They're both free for the downloading and pretty good.
