Question about Train Game

18 years ago

Are all the games winable? I have tried some several times and can't seem to get all the trains together. Do I just need to try harder? Seems like the trains this time are harder for me to do. Maybe my brain is hardened more!!!

I found that if you get the cabooses moved first, it is easier to win.
Then try to get as mamy engines moved.

I've won 3 times today.
I'm wishing there was another level to move to.
Not bragging, but I've gotten pretty good at it.

I couldn't figure out how to 'win', either - I finally just gave up.

question about alawar games

I learned about that years ago, I lost $40. on a game I bought for myself and my sister. My information never matched what they had on their records. They helped me once, then it happened again I just wrote it off as a learning experience. I buy all my games retail, none online. That is why it irritates me that they still can plant cookies when I don't even visit their site. Iwin games are terrible about forcing you to use their game manager and go on line when you play. I emailed them and was told how to avoid the game manager and the connection. I still got their cookies so I put the url address in privacy/exceptions/block. No more cookies. Doesn't work for alawar.

Question about training dogs w/marking habit

The answer to your question is yes to both. The dog should be cleaned up, taken to the vet, get it healthy, and then once it is cleaned up, then training should start. BCs are very very intelligent dogs, they are very intuitiive and need loads of exercise. So, start off with blowing off your lawn for now, it is dormant anyway. Take the dog out some good runs, then some leash walking. If you can take him to play with other dogs for a couple of hours, that would be great. This is important - starting off with leash walking and regular consistent exercising is going to help tremendously. Teach your dog some stupid dog tricks and if you can take him on car rides with you when you go on errands. BC's because they are so smart they get bored easily. The more time you spend with this dog in training the better. Eventually all you need to is to teach him the command to leave it. And that wil be that. Once your dog gets leave it, you should expect your dog to stop the behavior within a couple of weeks.

I have a macbook pro, (which is really way too much computer for me and I don't know how to use it effectively, but that's another issue) and it doesn't have a mouse. So when the screen comes up only the first question fits on the screen. So I have to move the cursor over to the pull-down bar to get the next few questions up. So all this back and forthing is costing me time. Is there a way to minimize the questions so they are all on one screen?

Question about the Bookworm game

I plead Guilty to mentioning Bookworm on the favorite games thread. Don't hate me, Susan! I knew there were some other addicts here though. I never get scores as high as some of you do, but my DD does. She sent me this a couple weeks ago: We both bought the disk. I took mine off of the computer this summer because I was staying up too late just to play. I'll be putting it back on after Christmas. Great game. Sue

I win about half of the games I play. So yes they are winable

I don't know if all games are winnable or not. I've wondered about that before too. I usually try to move all the cabooses that are at the front of the line, then move all the engines that are at the back of the line before I do anything else. I win in spurts.

Some times the games do seem to be set up easier than at other times. A couple of times ago when it showed up it was hard to win even one game. The time before that it was so easy I got bored.

Yah!!!
I finally won one game. It's great to see all those trains rolling out!

I have won lots of games, but today I seem to be lucky to get three lined up.

I can't imagine that ALL are possible, but I don't do them over.

I get to a certain point, and realize that game is not winnable and opt out!
I, too, think some are more winnable than others.
Once I check it out and see, I start another game.

I get all the trains lined up about 8 out of 10 times. Once in a while I get all but one lined up. I hardly ever get a yard jam (maybe one out of 30 or 40 games).

I think every game is winnable, but if I'm at a point where I know I can't win, I start a new game. I rarely replay the same game.

Jeez, I haven't won one yet! I've gotten up to 6 out of 8. I finally had to quit tonight because I was making myself crazy!

I forgot something. When I play the small version and I want a new game I press that button and a screen comes up that says it is rearranging the trains but nothing happens after that. Any ideas about that? I have to exit out of the game and come back in to get a different configuration.

Every game is winnable. Sometimes they are fairly straightforward, but some are curly and take many, many tries before they come out. I'm stubborn- I keep resetting each game until I finally work it out.

Bigbaby,
Mine is like that too.
I click NEW and then click on the browser BACK button and I get a new game.
