I want to clean out my computer a bit and would like to print out the list of games in my game manager so I don’t delete something I should keep. Is there a way to accomplish this?

You can go to the Big Fish Games website, enter your account and look at your Purchase History at any time. I've got games in there from 10 years ago! You can re-download at any time.

I don’t want my purchase history. Just the titles in my Game Manager. I want to print out the Game Manager so I can get rid of extraneous files that I no longer need without accidentally deleting Games still in the Game Manager. I don’t replay games, so rarely refer to my purchase history except if a new standard version is released. I always check to see if I already bought the CE.

Well, that's a different story then! You just want to know what you have installed and be able to print it out. The list should be right there in your BFG Manager, but it's not printable as far as I can tell. I guess you could always grab several screenshots as you scroll down. The only other thing I can see as far as being able to print is to go to your Program Files (x86), find all your games and put them in a separate file and then print that list.

I checked in Support at BFG and didn't find anything. The only other thing I can suggest is to ask BFB.

Since I usually uninstall games from the Game Manager when I finish them ,the list isn’t terribly long. I may just resort to sitting down and making a list by hand. Was hoping there was an easy way to just print out the contents of the Game Manager. Thank you for your time, Drac.

You can print out the contents of a folder by using a command window to CD to that folder,
then typing and entering
DIR > games.txt
at the prompt. That will place a list of the contents of the folder in a file called games.txt. Then you can open the games.txt folder with Notepad, prune as desired, and print that out.

If you kept the default installation folder that Big Fish uses,
your games are probably installed to C:\Program Files (x86)
To CD to that folder, you'd open the command window and type and enter
CD "C:\Program Files (x86)"
You need the quotes because there are spaces in the folder name.
If you configured your Game Manager to use your own folder, such as C:\Games, you could simply type CD C:\Games without quotes because there are no spaces in that folder name.

Once you're in the folder where your games are, type and enter
DIR > games.txt
at the prompt. The games.txt file will be located in the Program Files (x86) folder where you issued the DIR command.

If you used the Program Files (x86) folder as your installation folder for Big Fish games, you'll probably have a lot of non-game-related stuff listed there, like folders for your web browser, driver-related folders, and other Windows-related folders like InstallShield, Microsoft.NET, Windows Defender, etc. You probably want to edit those out of the games.txt file before printing it out.

If the above is too complicated for you, there is always the manual way -- Open both your Game Manager and Notepad (or Word or Wordpad) and type the game names in manually.
