Babala, sensational enduring freeware game, inexplicable

[Ben Bean]

What I forgot to add was Yes, there's a Linux version as well.

****************** copy ***************
At http://BABALA.ORG is found a remarkable free game, suited for all ages.
It is fun, challenging, sophisticated and yes even magical. It has a
whopping 125 levels, with 50-75 more in the planning/testing phase. Babala
is a cross between puzzle, strategy and war. You will NOT be disappointed;
that much I do guarantee. Babala has animations, but it is not a test of
reflexes, for there is never a time constraint! You play at your own pace,
matching your wits against the forces that seek to swarm you and slay you.
This is such an easy game to learn that a 7-year old could play it. But you
need mental stamina to get very far in the quest.

Babala has a meaningful scoring system, and the eventual version (in a few
months) will feature Internet high score posting. Already there is a public
FORUM at the site, so come on over and see what all the ruckus is about!

Babala is a mere 450kb download (plus you'll need the free GTK+ package).

It's colorful, it's crafty, it's fun.
There are NO commercial hooks of ANY kind.
You can't go wrong.

Developed by a raving genius Czech national... BABALA.

Here's a clue...grab it quickly.

Nobody cares who you plonk. Plonk everyone for all we care. No need
to tell us about it...unless of course it's an ego thing.

Gotcha, didn't I?

I'm not telling you. I'm telling the idiot I plonked.

Just curioius. Why did you killfile the OP? The post was on topic. As
long as somebody doesn't start repeatedly plugging a program, there's
nothing wrong with announcing a new freeware program.

Clue #2: He doesn't care either.

Unless I'm missing something, I think he only mentioned it twice in ACF,
and the second time was because he forgot to mention that there is a
Linux port of the program. That's not a big deal.

He mentions it just a bit too much for my taste:

Why no GAME catergory at pricelesswarehome? [mainly Babala promotion]

But I should probably shut my mouth considering my shameless sig (sic).

Exactly! ;-)

Anyway, that Babala game IMHO is really good.

There's nothing wrong with a signature file. Perhaps that's what Ben
Bean should use to promote his game, and then he could start
participating in this group more constructively.

Thanks for the clarification, Vegard.

I agree a 100%. Nothing annoys me more on usenet than those who go
"[plonk]". They're even more annoying than the trolls or spammers.

I don't reply to trolls. No adware, cdware, commercial software,
crippleware, demoware, nagware, PROmotionware, shareware, spyware,
time-limited software, trialware, viruses or warez please.

A tout is not a plonk. Strictly peer-to-peer advisement, those 3 posts in
this group, and one each in similar groups. As for constructive
participation, I personally am deadly fearful of new addictions, aye.
Instead, I want to dote on those rare favorites for a lengthy time (each),
until I scout for new Windows games. Then I'll come here. I've already
gotten hip to Pricelesswarehome, and I'm using A FIND from there: Wink.
WOW!!!!

Yeah, Babala struck my fancy, and I live in Parkersburg, WV and I'm 5'11"
and married and so diddly what.

Try the game. Soon to be 200 levels... 35 harder ones are poised for next
month's release, I'm told.

Then mention it ... once. That is sufficient.

please: Why 100 quoting lines again (snipped) AND crossposted over 3 NGs
(with no FUP set) only to say that? Wasting bandwidth etc.! In this case
posting without the unnecessary quoting... "that is sufficient".
