To be honest Aaron, I don't particularly mind E-mailing Ian Humphries for the games, sinse (as you said), they are free. I do agree that it does mean you have to wait a couple of days for Ian to mail your games to you, but this is never really a problem, after all, if you try the game and don't like it you can always delete it.
I haven't tried any of the solitare games, or Sudocu or 15 puzle yet, but I probably will in the future.
My only main problem with Ians games thus far, is I'd like to see him make some more strategical games with actual opponents, rather than positional puzle type games, but that's just a matter of personal preference.
Boggle is rather a challenging game, particularly as the word list seems to have some very obscure words. It does feature several of the lovely features Ian includes with his games, such as the ability to play midi files during the game, sound effects, saving and reloading, and lots of handy speak keys. One feature that I always like of Ians' games which is particularly nice in boggle, is the ability to play with a maximized window, and have the letters white on black, which is helpfull to those like me who have a limited amount of site.
while scrabble esque games wouldn't be my first choice to play, Boggle is certainly intreaguing, and if the difficulty doesn't put me off I can see myself sitting down with it quite often.
I don't know if I'd have been willing to pay for the game had it not been free, but sinse it is, I'd reccommend anyone try it out.
With our dreaming and singing, Ceaseless and sorrowless we! The glory about us clinging Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing; O men! It must ever be
That we dwell in our dreaming and singing, A little apart from ye. (Arthur O'Shaughnessy 1873.)
