A comment about recent released freegames (ad-supported)

Recently have been released as free ad-supported this (old) games, i added them in the archive..

The Suffering

Full Spectrum Warrior

Rise and Fall

Area 51

I read some of the comments around the web, and some comments around this website too, and i saw some gamers had some problems with this softwares, one in particular said he had a problem with ‘Softwrap’… After some googling investigation, i found out this (should) be an anti-piracy (copy protection) system, which if you ask me is quite absurd to put such a thing in a free game don’t you think? Can’t they put a simple banner without forcing us to install adware, drm, copy protection or other crap in our computers? I am not a programmer so i really can’t say how things works.

But i can give some suggestions and here we go:

1-NEVER install free or commercial games on your work pc, they contains (most of them) hidden stuff and invasive copy protections.

2-Playing safe is easy, just do another partition in your hard-drive, install your (windows xp, linux, react os) and you have 2 working OS, the one where you can play craps or surf not-thrusted site and the other for normal use. If something screw up your OS, u can easily format and re-install.

3-Boot and load your os from a USB pen, you can do it with linux and others OS, not sure if this is available with windows xp too (but it should be).

4-You could also use Virtual Machine, just to check if the installation contains malware, before installing in the real computer. (sometimes when i have suspects i do this way)

If you have guides or suggestions.. comments are below.
