http://www.bontago.com/

Category: Games / Strategy Games

Synopsis: Bontãgo is a single or multi-player 3D real-time strategy
game. Players begin with flags (one color for each player) spaced
evenly around the edge of a large disk, called the field, balanced
on a fulcrum in the center. Around each flag is a circle
representing that player's controlled area. Every few seconds a
block appears on each player's cursor. The players must place the
blocks somewhere in their controlled areas. Players can place the
block at any moment in the allotted time, or can hold it until time
is up and the block will fall on its own and be replaced by the next
block.

This looks fun, but I'm struggling with the Japanese text on the
website! Could you point me in the direction of the right series of
clicks to download? I click the DL button and end up on another page,
no idea where to go after that!

Cheers,

Ben

Sorry, I had the same trouble, but by hovering over the links and
"reading" the destinations, I got there in the end... ;-)


Right hand "tab" to;

http://www.vector.co.jp/games/soft/dl/win95/game/se382585.html

then in right hand square with a large question mark in it, click
the link prefixed "HTTP" which is;

http://www.vector.co.jp/download/file/win95/game/fh384271.html

This should open a page which will kick off the download after a few
seconds.

If not, try the direct link;
