EGGHEAD, don't understand

I guess I just don't understand. EGGHEAD? Free game, cool! Bring it down, install. No instructions, no help file, no rules, no statement of game objectives.

Oh well, play it and see!?

"Hint", only a slight scratching sound, clever given the chicken theme to "game>'

45 minutes later - - still no clue, what is going on?? Still can't seen objectves, no rules, no basis for the random points I seem to have earned.

Remove program, remove reference to the company which distributes it (clickgamer).

I don't understand how this could be seen as positive advertising for their products. I'm not adverse to games, in fact, I've been looking for them. But this was just silly.

It works fine on my system. It appears to be a simple Bejeweled type of game with... Chickens and eggs. Simply move the chickens or eggs or flowers so that they make a line of 3 or more like symbols... Once you do that they'll disappear and more pieces will move down... Keep doing this until it tells you not to or that the game's over

gads, I really like that Bluetooth phone (t610)....but, I just got the t68i a few months ago....not really that happy with it either....looks like it might be time for another new toy

the software said nothing about being Bluetooth specific, goober suggests I'm in over my head!

This is my point!! If I'm supposed to be in some other software tell me.

Jac says its a simple "Bejeweled type of game" that phrase means absolutely nothing to me and I'm not going to invest the time to figure it out.

I WILL NEVER GO TO THIS SITE AGAIN, NOR WILL I ENTERTAIN ANYTHING BY THESE FOLKS.

Sorry I don't have blueteeth, mine are normally white!!!!!

The instructions for the game are on the website. From what I have seen it is basically a timed version of Cropped Out with and Easter twist. Not too bad

Okay, the bluetooth comment was a referance to my signature information... I mention wanting a bluetooth phone, something completely unrelated, but if you click on "bluetooth phone" in my signature, you'll see the phone he was talking about... It is quite possibly the most beautiful phone on the face of the Earth.

I apologize for the Bejeweled referance, but I was simply mentioning a game that is quite popular among my circle of friends, and from what I can tell, people on this board... I figured you may have heard of it, but aparently not.

I donno, I rather liked the game, of course, I really like these puzzle types of games in the first place... If you don't like simple puzzle games, perhaps this is not the game for you.

Thanks for the feedback. John is probably right, this may not be my type of game. But, my point was, the merchant is tossing something out there and is catering to established, knowledgeable customers only. That's fine I suppose but it kind of limits growth.

I recall spending lots of time with MYST when it first came out. That didn't give clear cut rules for every step but it gave you enough to get into it. Even the simple "get three in a row" would have been helpful!

Maybe I'll stick to my spreadsheets!!

so sorry...didn't mean to confuse the issue with mentioning the Bluetooth phone. Was an impulse post after looking at that phone!!
