Thanks to all who voted!

Ana

Thank you very much, Ana for a wonderful work in doing this game list.

Thank you to all who voted.

MANY thanks for the time and energy required in compiling this list, Ana!! This will serve as a great reference list for me and will provide many happy new surprises in my casual-gaming future!

I appreciate it!

Fantastic

Thanks so much Ana for instigating, overseeing and compiling and publishing!

I'm printing it out for when I have that "I need a casual game" moment

Looney4Labs, please pick a number from 1-32. Any number.

Ana

Okay Dokay

I pick # 21--for the number of days I knew my KISA before we got married

In that case, Congratulations to zookeeper for being the 21st voter! I am sending you one game credit for a game of your choice at BigFish!

Thanks to all who took the time to participate!

EDIT: Did you say you knew him 21 days before you took the plunge? I had a delayed reaction on your post! :loL:

Ana

Wow! What a surprise! I love Gameboomers! There's always something fun going on. I love Big Fish too!

Thanks Ana! There was a obviously a lot of time and effort spent compiling this list. I really appreciate the work you put into it. And I really appreciate the gift too...so cool!

Zookeeper Enjoy!

Thanks again Ana

Have fun zookeeper! I didn't want voters that voted because of a chance at a game, I'd rather surprise someone that voted because they wanted to. Enjoy it!

Ana

Wow what list,I'm printing it out too for a rainy day when I can't think of a good game to play!Ana you did a great job, how you did it, I don't know, but you did!!!

It is added to the GameBoomers Annual Games List now.

Thanks for the list, now I know what game to pick. Hidden Expedition: Amazon I hope that one is at Big Fish. Thanks for the list of puzzle games.

Congratulations, zookeeper!! Now for the hard part--deciding which game to get!!

Thanks so much for doing this, Ana! It was great fun, and I see a couple of titles I need to investigate.

Congrats to Zookeeper as well, and a wave to Looney for having the courage to risk her heart and find a happy marriage. I'm a big fan of those myself!

Thanks MaG, you rock!

Ana

Great job, Ana....same time next year?

And Congratulations Zookeeper.

You betcha Trippy! I learned a few things that will make my life easier next time.

Ana

Thanks Ana...great job!

A great list! I'm inspecting the Adventure Lite results with particular attention.

Thanks Ana. It was a great idea and I appreciate all the work you spent compiling this complicated list.

To the Boomers who are checking the list, I want to personally recommend two little gems I voted for. If you didn't care for Rainbow Web, don't hesitate to try Rainbow Web 2 - it's a much improved version and great fun. I must have played it through to the end at least 50 times. Tropix was a cute game but Tropix 2: Quest for the Golden Banana is exceptionally well done and almost like an Adventure Lite game except you can keep replaying your favorite mini games to earn the money to progress in the adventure portion of the game.

Ana, you're a beast! Thank you!

Bravo Ana and to all the members who sent their list.

A lot of work doing this.


Chief

Thanks Jody, Becky, Scarlet, Darlene and Chief. I hope that next years has double the entries!

Ana

Wow - leave it to a Gameboomer moderator and members to do so much work.

Being new to Casual Games this list will be very helpful for me.



for all the hard work.
