Ho-ho-ho!

I'll spare you all the next Llama carol today. That's not to say
you're not going to hear (and moistly feel!) them sing again in the
near future, but they've a bit of a sore throat at the moment and have
begged off singing today. Have you seen the length of a llama's neck?
A sore throat is no joke for them!

For those of you disappointed with the old-school games I gave away a
few days ago, well get ready for more disappointment! Because once
again I have two old games, each with two keys apiece! (I told you
this was going to be a repeat issue!) But don't worry, I'll have pity
on you all and throw in a more modern game too, if you're one of those
soulless gamers who can't appreciate the classics. ;-)

We'll start with the old games first.

* Math Rescue  
https://store.steampowered.com/app/358200/Math_Rescue/
    It's not just an old game from the 90s; it's an old
    EDUCATIONAL game from the 90s. You know, the sort your
    Mom would buy you instead of something like "Loderunner"
    or "Mario". It wasn't as good, but it was all you had so
    you played it anyway. This one's a fairly simple platformer
    that teaches you basic math. (Sadly, I know a lot of adults
    who could benefit from playing this today). But look, I get
    it: this isn't the most popular genre so I'm not even going
    to bother obfuscate the serial numbers, just in the hope that
    by making it THAT much easier /somebody/ will claim them.
    key #1: HI6E7-XTVQC-0J0T8 and key #2: 84DM7-PQ8ZC-588MY

* Word Rescue

    Second time around and it's more of the same, except this
    time it teaches you words-type-stuff! Platform around,
    matching words to pictures. Look, maybe its not for you but
    surely you have some younger relatives in your life you'd
    like to disappoint? C'mon, some of us paid for these games
    accidentally twice! At least take one of them! Unobfuscated
    keys coming up!
    key #1: GYPZF-528NN-TR3K5 and key #2: GV7B0-I70EN-I3VF4

3D Realms published these edutainement games? I don't remember those
back then. Redwood Games? Is that related to Redwood from old
Stomped.com web site?

* Project Highrise
https://store.steampowered.com/app/423580/Project_Highrise/    
    Fine. I get it. You want a game from THIS century and MQLJG
    designed with somebody who's out of toddlerhood. Alright;
    I hear you. So here's "Project Highrise", which is 8G5A3
    essentially a modern remake of Maxis' old "SimTower" game.
    You're basically building a city in a tower, placing HFM5Q
    offices and apartments and infrastructure, trying to keep
    all the inhabitants happy. It's a real game! Surely you'll
    take THIS one!

Not a big fan of this genre so pass.

* Secret Bonus That Maybe Doesn't Work But Maybe It Does!
  Yesterday I offered "Blade of Darkness" but due entirely to
  technical issues (and nothing to do with my inability to
  copy-and-paste correctly), the provided key was incomplete.
  Since Ant was the first to show interest, I offered the game
  to them first. But apparently they already had the game in
  their library. Does that use up the key? I've no idea. But
  just in case it didn't, here's the key for "Blade of Darkness"
  (on GOG) in case somebody else wants to give it a try. Who
  knows; it might work and you might get a free game! (That
  is, assuming I copied and pasted correctly today ;-) 
  secret bonus key: 83U9B19999BA35F7E9

They? I am a singular, but thanks. ;)

Four keys, no llama songs! That's not a bad haul, dontcha think? I
wonder what we'll get tomorrow. Well, there's only one way to find out
and that's to keep reading Usenet!

Do you use Winamp? ;)

Until then, let me leave you with these eternal words of Holiday
Wisdom:

Ho. Ho. and Ho.

sANTa! ;)
