Howdy,

I admit it - I suffer from BAAGS big time. I've bought some real stinkers because of it, too. I then found a way to deal with the withdrawal symptoms while waiting for the next (hopefully) awesome release: BigFish. It started with Match 3s, but now I have a secondary addiction to HOGs. I've even started dabbling with time management games...

Earlier this month, BF apparently had a fire at their offices and there have been major technical issues for many members. Unfortunately, after about 10 days of trying, I still couldn't download certain games (like ND:SSH) and I needed to keep my BAAGS monkey at bay.

I discovered Shockwave.com. They have a majority of the games BigFish and MSN offer, plus their own stuff, and some really interesting club membership levels. You also earn tokens for playing and can buy scratchers to win more tokens and even cash prizes. Anyway, I had never heard about Shockwave until recently, so I thought I'd pass it on.

Thanks Lesann, Shockwave has been around for ages. I'm glad you've had success with them.

I have also been a shockwave member for many years.

I joined up for the unlimited account a couple of months ago and it is well worth it.

Being overseas I cannot use the tokens but not fussed about that-saved so much money from being able to play full length games that I will never play again or even finish.

Normally the games I love and want to replay I will buy- though admittedly I usually buy them from Big Fish or Game House outright on release anyway.

They have I-Play games early and as I am not a member there (Iwin) it is handy to have a source for them too.
