I got to this site via the game zone. It is suppose to be similar
to the Humble bundle. Does anyone know anything about it or have got any of the games available?

Hi, txgoogoo, thanks for the hint.
I researched a little bit and found no evidence, that this is anything bad.
If you want to support this case then go on.
The titles and game developers are well-known - I would say that's a good bargain.Download and screenshot: http://goodplay.org/index.php/

You can get all five games for as little as you wish to donate, eg $1 which in the UK + VAT is well less than £1. The donation is to a good cause, so you might feel obligated to donate a little more.
It's genuine, you can donate by card or PayPal and on completion, there's a link to the download pages for each of the games (including serial numbers where needed), as well as being sent the links by email.
Line Rider 2 Unbound is 566Mb, 18 Wheels of Steel Extreme Trucker is 218Mb, Hunting Unlimited 2011 is 373Mb, Hoyle Crosswords and Sudoku is 13.5Mb and Bicycle Texas Hold 'Em Poker is 79.5Mb.
It's a brilliant deal. You can select all 5 games for the one donation! :)
Line Rider 2 Unbound
Draw courses, setup Physics-based puzzles then set your rider in motion! Or play the story mode where you complete missing parts of the courses and solve many different puzzles.
The new story mode, follows the Line Rider character through various acts, each containing puzzles. In this mode, the main course is laid out, but it's up to the player to fill in green gap areas where the track is missing. Since you're working in such small confines, you'll need to make use of all the new line tools included, such as speed lines, slowdown lines, normal track, jumps, breakaway, and trap door tools. To make things easier on the players, new drawing techniques have also been included, so you can either freehand with the IR, or click point to point with the line tool to make a perfect edge, and then manipulate it at the ends and various points of articulation in the middle. Other no-brainer inclusions have been added, such as line colors, an undo key, and the ability to use different level backdrops and items in your maps as "clip art."
The main story mode is surprisingly addicting, and it has a strong enough level of ramp-up that allows first time Line Rider players to get the core idea down first, while still becoming extremely difficult later on. As you progress through the main game you'll unlock different regions to play in, more racers, and even the ability to race two riders at once, making things far more interesting, as you'll need to account for intersecting paths and timed tracks that still make use of breakaway lines and varying physics puzzles.

Hunting Unlimited 2011
Hunting Unlimited is most definitely a looker – its 30 beautifully rendered environments are painstakingly detailed and feature some wholly convincing lighting effects. Animal animations are also bang-on; with deer tentatively scouring the undergrowth for food and wolves slinking dangerously through the shadows.
So far so authentic, but things do take a turn for the 'ridiculous' during the game’s frequent and thrilling confrontations with predators. These action-packed sequences see the likes of wolves and grizzlies going berserk, launching themselves toward your hunter, and gnawing frantically at your shelter. A tad over the top maybe, but these tooth and claw battles against deadly beasties are among the games most exciting levels.
Throughout, Hunting Unlimited strikes a weird balance between hunting sim and arcade style shoot ‘em up, and this in turn is reflected by your arsenal. In addition to the usual selection of rifles and shotguns, a nifty compound bow also joins the lineup. Between hunts, back at base camp, you can tinker about with your weaponry and equipment, pore over a map of unlocked areas and plot your next move, and adorn the walls of your log cabin with collected trophies.

Thanks for the info. I typed "0" in the donation box and it still gives game download and key. So for as little as nothing.

Thanks for the heads up on this :) I had not heard of it.
I am wondering tho, the Hoyle Crosswords and sudoku is looking and sounding alot like a game call Newspaper Puzzle Challenge, especially when I noted the "Challenge puzzles and Bonus Puzzle Book" Can someone who has got the games comment? Are they the same game?Posted 13 years ago # -
I made a donation to get the five games and would like to
share my experience. I was able to download 4 games, but Hunting Unlimited 2011
seems to be stuck in limbo as not paid. There are 4 steps. Select game. Donation. Payment. Download. After paying by paypal. I was redirected to a page with my order and the d/l links not unlike Humble Bundle. Everything workrd as normal and I thought Hunting Unlimited was downlading as normal but after I downloaded all the files I noticed this particular file was only 6k. I could have sworn it was a 300 meg file and I saw it download a few meg before I did other things. I tried to download a few different times and I got to the page to step 3 Donate and file not available. So there is a glitch or the file is still unavailable for whatever reason.
Four of the files have serial numbers that have to be entered and it is a cumbersome and confusing process. It has a manual or online box. I tried the manual because I have the serial numbers with order. No cigar. I tried online. No cigar. Finally I tried onlline.nothing happened (blank Entry) It then said enter the number vendor sent you. I entered copied and pasted number. Eureka.
One has to enter complete address plus telephone number even though it is a digital transaction. I generally don't do this but since I am a veteran I bit the bullet so to speak. I will probably wait a few days before I send an email to try and solve the problem because this particular game has no real priority for me. Two of the games are for my wife and the other 2 plus Hunting are for the grandkids.. Line Rider 2 is the game with no serial number included. Was anybody able to download Hunting Unlimited 2011?

Hi, txgoogoo,
yes I got the game without problems on 15.10.2011. It has 373 MB.
I haven't installed any of the games yet, so can't say anything about the registration procedure.graylox

I also made a donation and bought the 5 programs - there were 2 that gave me problems: (1) Line Rider 2, but this was resolved when I installed the latest DirectX component.
(2) Trucker Extreme - would not recognize serial code & this is a global problem developer will soon fix.Overall, I am very happy with their professional and courteous service.

As well as the order confirmation email, you will be sent an e-mail for each game selected with the game download link. If for any reason you don't get any of these, email their customer support/check your spam folder. When you have completed your donation/order a page is also displayed showing all of the download page links.
We aren't able to show any download links here for copyright reasons, but you can get all 5 games for a donation of $0 (or whatever you wish to donate) at the goodplay.org site while this offer runs.
All five games downloaded correctly for me. I would suggest clearing your browser cache and download history. Internet Explorer is renowned for reloading a failed page complete with errors, unless the browser cache is deleted. :)

Only just seen this guys. Sorry I've not been very active of late. Just sort of burnt out a little. Thanks for the info chazzo. I've already got the first three games and the last one and can say they are all excellent games. I bought Line Rider following wizzards posting of the freeware version over in the Games discussion forums and loved the game, so much so I re purchased it via Steam because I'd lost my log in information and couldn't play the DVD version that I have. Hunting Unlimited is an excellent simulation game with an open world feel to it. If you like stealth games you'll love it. Wheels of Steel is also an excellent Trucker simulation with loads of missions to complete, some of which are very challenging. Poker speaks for itself. I actually have a slightly different version that uses characters from several well known games such as Team Fortress 2.
This is a fantastic opportunity to get five excellent and varied games that'll keep you entertained for weeks and months to come. Plus it's for a good cause too.
Thanks for posting this txgoogoo

I tried the email for download from another computer and the same problem
for Hunting Unlimited 2011. I sent an email over 12 hours ago to support describing the problem and no response yet. I have only registered the card games so far. I had just bought some of the games offered in a regional store here in Oregon for $5 each.Posted 13 years ago # -
Odd, I didn't have any trouble with Extreme Trucker - just copied and pasted the registration. Got it a week ago, so maybe there's something else besides a bad key.
Same with Hunting Unlimited, just downloaded and copy/pasted the registration.
The one difference is that I downloaded these from the order page and not from the emails. I don't know if they're different links (they look the same), but that's the only other thing I can think of. I still had to enter registration keys, so it's not a pre-unlocked version on the order confirmation page.
Maybe the registration server is having problems?

I received two emails from tech support about a day apart. The first one basically said to try again. I did. Same result. I sent the link from my email and they were able to download the file.Tech support sent me another link different from my original link which sent me to a download page like after I finished the payment on the original. I was able to download the file. The problem still remains a mystery but all is well that ends well.
I wouldn't hesitate to participate in another offering.Posted 13 years ago #
