The price has now been raised to $20! Crazy, crazy man...
Found his games in a torrent but of course, Rats! for windows was not included althought the Handheld and Pocket PC versions were (but that doesn't help...)

I've always loved simple Windows games like "SkiFree" and "Rodent's Revenge".
I download the "free" versions of all of these games and yes, there all demos.
To buy all off the games for 30$ doesn't sound like a bad deal, since 90% of the "casual" games today are basically clones after clones but with a few new ideas added each time, so it's something "new". And in this pack we get 13 games, that's like 2.xx$ for a game, AND LET'S JUST COMPARE THAT TO DE 20$ PRICE TAG ON 1 ***** GAME! What a pathetic way to rip people off...

Yeah, and one would think that especially now in times of economic crisis it would be wise to lower the price in order to sell... but this guy goes the other way. He really needs to get a grip.

The only worth while game of Sean O'Conners is Fire Fight. And even then, all it is is a rip off of Close Combat, but more free based with all the random maps and shiz. Thats the only game id be willing to pay for

Well, if you want modern FREEWARE-games, don't forgett we have that ourselves right HERE.
So, if you ask him to release it as a freeware, AB would get it, but rather AR.

:laugh: You got to see the funny side. He complains that $15 is too much and the author raises it to $20 as if to say "You think $15 is too much?? Suck on THIS!"

Business logic.
If that may people want to get the game for free, they can just as well pay for it.

You've just given him notice that there IS demand, which means he'll automatically up the price. Just one sale at 20 dollars is more than three at 5 dollars.
