PING Pat: You've ruined my life :)
 

My highest score so far in "Collapse" is about 129K. Nothing compared
to yours, but I'm catching on. You're right, it's more exciting than
Bubbels, in the same way that a heart attack is more exciting than a
stroll in the park. I can feel a real game addiction coming on!

I'm trying to figure out how to keep a copy on my hard drive so I don't
have to play it over the net. Otherwise, the IT folks at my job are
going to notice a whole lot of requests from my machine to Yahoo. :)
I posted about this problem in a different thread - still haven't
figured it out. Does it really require new hardware to solve the problem??

So I'm just posting to say that this is ALL YOUR FAULT. :) Congratulations -
you are now officially in the same league as Bev.

(In case you can't tell, I really like the game!)

LOL!! If you like it that much, there's a downloadable version that you can
eventually buy, I think it's only $20 and probably fits on a floppy disk....

I think it only pings once (to load the game) so just keep the page open
when not playing.

So what are the bombs for? I mean, I can see what they *do*, but from
what I can tell, they're freebies - you click the bomb, and a bunch of
the little colored boxes go away. (If it's a colored bomb, boxes having
that color go away, and if it's a black bomb, it just seems to erase
half the screen.) So I'm suspicious - games NEVER give away freebies!
What's the catch - do you pay some kind of penalty for using them? Is
it like buying a vowel? :)

Also, do either of you have strategy tips you'd like to share? I keep
finding myself with one or two rows of boxes on the screen, where there
are no groups of like-colors together having enough in the group to click
on, waiting for the next row to come up. That seems like a waste of
time - there must be a way to avoid that. (Hope that made sense!)

Oh really? Is it exactly the same? And do you know who makes it?

Oh, duh - of course. That's why I've been rummaging through Temp Internet
Files and Cache folders trying to find (and COPY) the damn thing!!

It's bigger and better.

GameHouse. You can download it right on the webpage where you play online.

When there is time to spare, I watch the upcoming row as it fills in and use
the time to plan the next moves.
