Alessandra Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I was "looking at" the GameHouse site (translation -- downloaded Super Collapse 3 and played like a demon until my hour-long was up). http://www.gamehouse.com/ So, I have to have this game, but I am curious -- on Amazon, I see 3 different Win/Mac versions of this game, https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=super+collapse+3&x=0&y=0 Or I could download from GameHouse. Can anyone explain this? Are the games different? Compatible/not compatible? (I use a mac OSX 10.5) If I do download a game, can I make a back up copy, in case I want to move it to a different type of computer, like my old Dell PC for the kids? Can I make a backup copy just for the mac? This is all just for my own use. I basically have the same/similar questions about games from the PopCapwebsite http://www.popcap.com/ The games I tried work on my mac, but are much more expensive than getting cd's from Amazon. Is there any reason that the downloaded games would have better compatibility than the most current ones on Amazon?? Sorry to be such a dummy about this -- I tried googling game forums and didn't seem to get anywhere. Any and all help appreciated!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I wish I could help but I'm clueless too! I've purchased a few games online but didn't think about a backup copy. Of course my old laptop is now inaccessible. Hmph. Have you seen the free games at GSN.com? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn of ns Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I wouldn't bother buyinh them. Sign up at the kids' site, Neopets.com, and you can find free versions of all those games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeacherZee Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 After a bad experience with downloading at EAgames.com I always buy a hard copy now. Oh and I play games at neopets.com :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH Kim Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Many of the older games - Bejeweled, Zuma - are available for about $10 at Best Buy or Walmart. I've usually waited for the games I want to come out on disk for that reason. However, Word Symphony still isn't out on disk and I need a fix, man.
