DOWNLOAD

Why download the games?

  1. Reduce time spent on Internet

    Running the games over the Internet requires a constant connection. If the connection is costly, unreliable, or not available to all your computers... download the games! Then you can easily copy the games to as many computers as you like and use it "off-line".

  2. Reduce time waiting during games

    Game components are continually loaded whilst playing over the Internet: this shouldn't cause much delay. But if you want to eliminate the delays... download the games!

  3. Customise the games

    If you want to alter the game content to accomodate a specific lesson plan and/or ability group... download the games! Then you can pick and choose which modules you want to appear in each game.

What is downloaded?

Unlike many pieces of software, dowloading these games does not mean littering your computer with lots of files in many different, unknown places. All the files are within one folder, and that folder can be placed anywhere, as long as the contents of the folder are not moved from their relative positions. And, of course, it can be easily deleted if required. The actual file downloaded is a zip file (see "After download" for further instructions).
