I have never heard of them sarahandus. I did a google search and only saw links for Batman and Robin stuff so I can't help you. Maybe if you left a link so someone can check it out?
Out of curiosity, how come you won't use Bigfish?

Ana, I do use Spintop, but they don't have the games.
3dobermans, how did you find out they have a poor rating? I'll give them one for sure.
Mag, 3dogemans' link is the one.
I'm looking for Hidden World of Art and a cheap version of Mystery of the Unicorn Castle. (It was OK)
I did download the Hidden World of Art, and after scanning with the virus program, installed it. Liked the game, but when I uninstalled it, it tried to call home. Just to uninstall it wants to call home! So then I cleaned everything related to it off this pc, including the registry.
I downloaded the unicorn castle from PlayFirst. But now they are pushing to install google toolbar, don't like that.
jdcat, I don't like sites that insist I use their download manager or insist on loading other software I don't want or need.
I apologize if this comes across as snippy or offending, I certainly don't mean it that way.

Sara, I don't mind the BigFish game manager. If one has dial-up it is really beneficial if at some point you need to resume the download. It's happened to me many times; either getting disconnected or just needing to temporarily stop the download and knowing I could resume later. Neither are you directed back to their site or pushed to download another toolbar.
Also I use the Firefox browser and it seems to have the WOT(Web of Trust icon in the toolbar that rates each site I go to.
Didn't view you as being snippy; just "an enquiring mind wants to know".
Good luck with whatever decision you make.

3dogermans, I use Get Right download manager, it has the resume feature, a necessity for us with dialup. Is that WOT a separate addon? At least I haven't noticed it. Sounds like a great idea. All the smart ones use FireFox

Sara, if you go to Firefox add-ons then all recommended add-ons and about half way down the page is WOT.

I love Firefox! I will look for WOT But I also love BFG and don't find their game manager offensive. I am very fussy about cookies and script being added, and BF is the only place I trust. Have had trouble getting rid of additional stuff from Spintop, and several other game sites, so I don't use them at all. Good luck and have fun! HorseDancer

You are right! I checked out WOT, and they wanted too many cookies and too much information for me! Guess I am getting to be paranoid!  Happy Gaming! HorseDancer

HorseDancer, it's been awhile but I don't recall giving any info. I feel the info I get regarding the safety/legality of sites is worth the cookies, but haven't noticed that many.

Jenny, this site came up with a good rating. The highest rating for a site is excellent. All others on the search page showed dangerous downloads in red. Hidden Art

That's interesting. I did none of that Sara. In my case, Firefox presented a pop-up with the option of downloading WOT, which I did after I read about it, then asked if I wanted to register, which I declined. The program seems to be working well without registering which I seldom do anyway with anything. Maybe un-install and re-install and decline the registration?
