Gave Cafe.com another try
Ever hopeful I went back to Cafe.com again. This time I clicked on the single player games. To my delight I was able to play a couple of games.
The games I chose looked to be interesting from the menu. However were a little rudimentary in play. It is interesting what you get accustomed to using as a gamer that a developer might not remember. Like the quit key. Or the I am bored and want to return to the main menu so I can choose another game button.
Some of the games looked like knock off renditions of Playfirst Games. I am a frequent Playfirst gamer. WOW..if Playfirst added the interactive element NOW that would be gamer heaven!
Cafe.com
I was reading techcrunch for a client of mine. I saw a post for how online games are updating themselves. The post mentioned Cafe.com. Considering I sit smack dab in the middle of their demographics I was beside myself eager to give it a try.
Only it is still in beta. Thanks to techcruch I was able to use an invitation. Only Cafe.com didn’t like my browser. I have about three browsers I use so switching didn’t bother me. Only the AutoUpdater didn’t like my operating system. Well phooey. I only run one operating system. I consider myself somewhat technically savvy but I do have my limitations.
I am not dismayed. I have submitted my support ticket. I am waiting for a reply or update or os compatibility or whatever game developers do to make the world right. I have that feeling I get when it is December 1. You can see the presents in the window but you know you can’t have them until (insert December holiday of your choice) 🙂
