Where did you find out about our games?

Originally I was searching for "tycoon" type games when I first got my Palm and came across Fish Tycoon I believe. It was some 3rd party site. But I like to go to the original sites when I can (to look up more info, other games, forums, etc) so I wound up here! Sorry I can't be more specific but it was almost a year ago and I forgot exactly how lol. It might have been Google though I have a feeling I found some generic game site (like Big Fish or Handmark) and found the game/LDW's name through that.

I struck a conversation about computer games with my uncle at my grandmother's birthday party this weekend, and he mentioned how his girlfriend was obsessed with this game.

So I checked it out, and here I am, LOL.

I found VS and My Little Pet in a mailing from Palm, which directed me to Handmark.

I was just trying to figure out where I found my first LDW game! I know it was plant tycoon- and I'm pretty sure I found it when looking at a PALM game website. It looked interesting.... and well, here I am!

I was also searching for Tycoon games that I might want to try and ran across this one. It took me just a couple of days of playing the demo version before I bought the game. Love it!

Same as Warren, I think. I think it was a Palm mailing about Palm games. Only it was before Village Sim, so it was Plant & Fish Tycoon which caught my eye.

I only found a FT poster on PalmGear. I downloaded it. Then i run a search for "LDW", and i meet PT and My Little Palm Pet.

I can't remember exactly cuz it's more than 3 years ago, I believe! But my guess is I must have come across it thru either PalmGear, Handango or 1src (formerly known as ClieSource). So I guess my vote should belong to Others, right?!

I found Village Sim on www.handango.com

I went looking for "Aquaruim Fish" and stumbled over it. Now Im a junkie lol.

At PDACorps.com, they had a contest to win Plant Tycoon for PPC

I originally found Fish Tycoon on MSN Games. I liked the trial so I bought it. When I finished the game, I couldn't figure out how to restart, so I went searching for reviews, and ended up at Shockwave.com. Amid all the yakking - there's three pages of reviews! - I found a reference to the creators' home website, www.ldw.com. And, ah, here I am.

Rainbowfish

I was sent a new game list from a webpage I don't remember which one (Big Fish Games I think)

I found out about this from AddIn that little program on the palm that lets you sample new programs

I found the game through Shockwave.com. I'm a full subscriber and its the best game out of the 20 or so I have played.

When Fish Tycoon was released for Macs, apple.com had the demo. I liked the game so much I wanted to know about whoever created it; even though there weren't any other Mac games, I've kept coming back to check when other stuff would be released.

BigFish games

Big Fish Games as well

Ditto, BFG.

Big Fish Games, for both Fish Tycoon and Virtual Villagers. And I'm sure when Plant Tycoon is ready for windows, I'll get an advance offer from BFG as well.

I was looking for developer of Fish Tycoon (which I bought from Reflexive). Google search for "Last Day of Work" found you right away.

I Originally found the game on Pogo, but it wasnt til it came to Real Arcade that I downloaded the trial. Addicted now and so is hubby.

i got my game through Big Fish Games.i love the game by EA/MAXIS the sims 2.i came across this game by accident,don't quite rember how,all i know is i was bored & looking for a new game.

I play on pogo.com all the time and they offer free 1 hour try out period before you buy game. Saw this one and tried it and bought it immediately! Found out I do better with people than fish! Love the try and buy option-some games (not yours) I'm glad I didn't waste my money on!!

I found VV on Club Pogo, my niece talked me into downloading it, then when we were hooked, she bought it for me as a gift.

Now I'm addicted!!!

I was signed up with real arcade and playeed the demo of fish tycoon and loved it. That was about 6 months ago. I came to your website and read up about VV and decided to wait for that one to come out. I checked back to see if it had been released a couple times a week. I was so glad when it finally came out. But by that time I no longer had a real arcade membership, I had moved on to BigFish Games so I bought it through my BigFish membership.

One of my clients told me about Fish Tycoon, one of my co-workers came in with her computer and hooked me on Village. I have spread the addiction.

big fish games

i found both vv and fish tycoon at msn gamezone... they have one hr trials that will run for a lot longer than an hr.... 6 hrs of fish tycoon and i was hooked... ditto vv... lol cant wait for the demo of plant tycoon

I got mine through real archade but I have also seen it at pogo, another addiction of mine......

I was tired of word games and did the free trial for VV on Yahoo!Games...bought it right away...I was so into it that when it said my free trial had expired I thought, "But I've only been playing for 10 minutes!" Such a fun game!

I was playing games on myspace, and one day decided to give VV a try, it was awesome and almost a week later I bought it from reflexive arcade hehe thats one game i dont regret. I do regret that we cant save it..we had a bit of a spyware problem and my boyfriend restored it to the day before it happened, and i lost my game...had to redownload and start over, but so far so good

I found Virtual Villagers on Arcadetown.com and/or Bigfishgames.com.

I found the game on http://www.shockwave.com/home.jsp where I can play most games first before I decide to buy. Virtual Villagers could not be played first, but I thought I would try it out and see what I thought. One of the best games I've ever played. Thanks!

I was sent and email from bigfish games to beta test the game and then couldn't wait for it to come out..lol

i was searching for Palm Games and i found Village Sim on handango and well the rest is history. Now im the Legendary Village Monk. And this all happened less than a year ago i do believe.

Well VM, it only took you 10 months to post this info. You really don't need to rush into it so fast. hehe

never saw this topic before lol.

I didn't know about this topic either! but I'll share too I always download demo's and VV is just one of many that I got, but this one I ended buying cause I couldn't stop thinking about it. When it was over I was searching the net desperately for answers to rookie questions like: is it really the end? what else does the GC do? and when is VV2 coming? and then finally stumbled upon this site, and I gotta say it was love at first site from beginning to now

Came across VV at PalmGear

I found this at Big Fish, too. I like the one hr trials for tryouts. VV was one that I had to have and am still glad that I own it.

I like to try Plant Tycoon when it comes to windows. The jury is still out for Fish Tycoon.

I kept seeing Fish Tycoon ads and hints on Pogo. So I ordered it. Then when the Vitual Villager ads kept showing up....

I can't wait to play Plant Tycoon for Windows, BTW!

I was at some website (forgot its name), and I wanted to play Ant War, when an ad about Fish Tycoon pops up. Then, I get addicted, but think in my mind "There Must Be More!" So I look it up on Live, find this awesome website, and found games for mac and windows, and wala! Virtual Villagers.(But I downloaded a trial for VV, screwed up my computer).

Okay. My mum was asking for some games from her friend and she game her VV. And the game looked really cool, that cool i just could't resist asking her to download onto my computer. And then i saw the logo and guessed the your website name, and uhh, that was it!

i found an ad of virtual villagers

Mark, my fiancee, was on Yahoo Answers and read a couple of Questions and Answers involving VV. Curious, he downloaded the game from Yahoo, I think it was Yahoo, and he became an addict.
I became truly aware of the game when he downloaded the game to my computer. I am not a gamer, and I did not ask him to put it on my computer, so, as a result, I ignored the game Mark started for me. When Mark found out I had not checked that first game even once, he made me check it. When I saw those little skeletons I felt really bad, started a new game,and was determined to do right.

I am hopelessly addicted to this day

My sister sent me this game link for a game called "cute knight" with a spiel about how great it is "girly games" are coming out. I tried the Cute Knight download, bought the game, and played it for a few months. Then I decided to check out the "other games" screen, and Virtual Villagers was one of the "other games" advertised. I tried the preview, and decided that I really couldn't properly even evaluate it on an hour so I bought the game just to try it out. I think that's probably kind of sad.

I too play on Pogo and that's how I found the game. Now I am hooked and my husband loves to hear about how the little peopel are doing. (We don't have children yet) He will be heading back for Iraq (we don't know when yet) and I plan to download the game for him when he leaves.

RealArcade for me

i went to BigFishGames.com, that's where i find out about new games!!!

I am always trying out new games on BigFishGames.com.....sometimes I get so engrossed in a new game that I forget about my bingo buddies in Hall 10 Room O on Team Bingo....I enjoy this more than I thought I would. Just wish there was room for more Players or Tribes.

i found Fish Tycoon on Shockwave.com.Re-downloaded it 5 times,finally bought it from Oberon games.
Found VV on Big Fish.

i found fish and plant tycoon on handango for my pocket PC and then found virtual villagers here at your website when later looking for help with FT

I first found Fish Tycoon at Gamehouse, love it! From there checked out ldw.com and got VV here, if I recall properly. ANXIOUSLY awaiting both VVII and Plant Tycoon for MAC and PC.

Found VV on Shockwave after playing a game at addictinggames.com, and clicking an ad. I didn't know how that qualified for the poll? Then found LDW from playing VV.

I found my first LDW games at Real Arcade. The first one I found was "Fish Tycoon" and than a bit later, "Virtual Villagers." I enjoyed FT but after the 1 hour demo of VV I couldn't WAIT to purchase it. The VERY DAY that it was available I purchased it and have never regretted it. I am so happy that you have already made a second VV and are planning a third. Keep up the great work!!

And a sequel to Fish Tycoon with more/different fish and plants/challenges would be great too!!

Beth

I found VV1 when i was browsing in the puzzle games on big fish games so i desided to try it out i've been hook ever since

joyce

I got VV1 from Yahoo! Games, I found this forum shortly after that.

Big Fish games

I was downloading a game from Big Game fish, when the VV link popped up.. I played it and have been hooked ever since.

i bought a couple of games thru msn gamezone, then discovered vv1 there, got COMPLETELY hooked then couldn't WAIT for VV2 to turn up there, so surfed til i found the big fish site and then bought VV2. THEN i found the ultimate site... LDW!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful games and the best forums around! (There are so many funny and intelligent gamers out there!)

I found you guys on Big Fish games, i originally played the online version of Virtual Villagers on the website, and it bugged me that i couldnt do everything so i downloaded the free trial, and was hooked, i also had an online game of Fish Tycoon, and i downloaded that as well, im so happy i did. And i found this forum, when i needed help cause i was lost with puzzles 10, 13,14,15,16. Village_Monks guide was my saviour. I was like ohhh thats a child(puzzle 14) not a _bug_. LOL

I bought VV1 on Real Arcade - and then googled LDOW. When RA stopped doing Big Fish games, I switched to Big Fish. VV1 and VV2 are my favorite video games. Thank you!

I found my on bigfish.com
I originally obtained the VV1, and I fell in love with it! I waited soooooo anxiously for VV2, and even though I can't wait for VV3...I am still working on VV2.
I love these games!

I found out through IWIN.com. I was looking for some kind of game to play that wasn't a bloody, gorey sex filled game.
I saw vv1 and I was amazed that they had such a thing. So Idownloaded the free hour game and got hooked.Thos last game vv2 I bought from Bigfish games.

I found out about VV-1 on jayisgames.com (Don't know how to make a link). It's a great place to review & play new games.

I bought the first version at mac.gamestore.com, and VV-2 from the good folks here at LDW! LDW, in turn, uses Plimus to process their orders. With a 30 day guarantee, you can't go wrong!

I use to be a Sims player, but those games got way out of hand, both.. ..in size and price. I finally shelved them and haven't missed them a bit.

My daughter found VV1 on Yahoo, I fell in love with the game while testing it out for suitability. We're both hooked on both games!

Reflexive.com

Found the games on Shockwave.com

I go to a website called http://www.addictinggames.com and I found the free version there, but I wanted to hhave all of the features so I used google to find a way to buy the full version

I found VV1 on Yahoo games and trialed it, and loved it. Then I went looking for another free trial and found it on Big Fish. Then I had to buy it, cause 2 hours wasn't enough. And of course, as soon as BF let me know that VV2 was available I had to go buy that, too!

I first learned about LDW on Big Fish Games. They seem to have good, fun games, and I wanted to learn more about the company with Virtual Villagers, etc.

I found my vv 1&2 on big fish games. But I had trouble registering the game, so I bought mine from shockwave.com, at least they send you backup discs for their games.

I found out about Fish Tycoon from Yahoo, then found Virtual Villagers on RealArcade.

I found the games on reflexive. My neighbor said how good they were and I have been a villager junkie ever since. I did fish tycoon first, but I enjoy my little villagers better.

I was at Best Buy with my mom looking for another game and she found VV1 while we were looking. They didn't have the game we were originally looking for, so we got VV1 instead! It's an awesome game!

I later went looking for this website and found it really easily. All I had to do was type virtualvillagers.com in the search bar!

iwon.com games

Big Fish Games, for all four PC Games.
And this Forum for the Palm Games.

i found it on Incredigames.com

RealArcade (Gamehouse)

I downloaded quite a few games from BigFish Games and thought they were good. Then I found Fish Tycoon - then Plant Tycoon!! I looked at what other games LDW had and now have them all. I am addicted to each and every one of them now and hardly play another game at all

I am really looking forward to see what LDW comes up with next.

I think I first played them on big fish games.........not sure

I got it from Big Fish Games. Well I bought Plant Tycoon VV 1&2. Then I found this site and then bought FT.

Oddly enough, when I bought my new HP, they had a "My Games" shortcut. I looked at many of the games, and both of these, VV1 and VV2, caought my eye, so I bought them both through that feature of my computer. Easiest buying I ever did. Bought them both as gifts for some friends in Wales as well.

i found LDW games through my dad. and have been hooked on them ever since!

The first ever site I got games from was Real Arcade and I played the demo of Virtual Villagers....Then the Real Arcade game controller went on the fritz. I got so frustrated trying to get help from them, I cxl'd the subscription. Sitting, wondering...Oh No what am I gonna do now...I got a brillant idea! Go to Internet, search for Last Day of Work, with a game that awesome,,,,they gotta have a website. Been here ever since and found out boy was I playing in the dark ages with RA.

I found out by receiving emails.

found it on one of the mac games sites
not sure which

i was playing a game on miniclip.com and there was an advirtisement below the game. i went to restart my game and accidently click on the advirtisment. . .best mistake of my life.

Now that's unique!

On Google - was looking for games to try out.

It been a long time! But near as I can remember, it was on a game called---oh, no, I can't remember! But it was a game where you start work life just after school having learned nothing, & you go thru the next 10 years building a career. It was great, but after awhile I had done it all, so deleted it. They had been nominated for an award, & on going to that site to vote for them, I found Fish Tycoon, which was also in the running. I downloaded that, & the rest is history. I've played & loved all the LDW games!

Same here, the mac gamestore. I'd like to see how many mac gamers versa PC are actually playing, either or both, Virtual Villagers?

PC user. I am playing both VV's, Plant Tycoon and Fish Tycoon.

I received a newsletter from Hewlett Packard to try the game. Then I got a trial run, by then I was hooked and bought the game and am still obsessed

Somebody posted on the forums of a pet game website (no not Neopets!) asking for help with Plant Tycoon, I decided to try it, so I googled Plant Tycoon, found the big fish games version, played it, liked it, and ended up buying it, then I found the main LDW website and ended up buying FT and VV1 as well. and I will be buying VV2 as soon as I finish beating VV1 for the first time.

I was playing VV1 on shockwave,i was reading the reviews,when i found out about LDW website.I downloaded VV2 on LWD and played the demo.Ive also played Plant Tycoon,love all 3.

If I remember correctly, I was playing one of the online games on MSN Games and I decided to look at what downloadable games they had. I thought Fish Tycoon looked intriguing so I tried it out, got addicted and then bought it.

It was all downhill after that.

GameHouse. i get all my games from them basicly.. was looking for tycoon games since i'm a big fan of RCT found FT, said "hmmmm" loved it! so i tryed PT, again with the "hmmm" and loved it too! so now here i am onto vv.
i've beaten both FT and PT (admittedly by upping the clock to grow things faster) but i got that virtual seed tray for PT and just HAD to get one of every single seed there is. now if someone would do that for FT, i'd HAVE to get every single fish breed there is.
and isn't breeding people kinda what we're doing now? (along with other stuff of course!
but does LDW have a thing for breeding? first fish, then plants.. now people ? (sorry that was the order for me anyway lol)

I came across VV1 on Shockwave.com and then I found VV2 and bought it! LOL

bought VV1 at wall mart seen VV2 bought it from home page through snali mail.LOved it.Plan on buying VV3 as soon as you tell me I can.I already have the money put up for it.Its in an envelope marked with VV3 don't touch.LOL

I found it at Yahoo!

Big Fish Games, although I'm not sure which one I found first :P

I went to a store, found this game, and thought it was cool. Bought all the V.V games since.

I was looking for some free games to play so I found VV2 played the demo loved it bought it & now looking forward too VV3 !!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a brand new Toshiba laptop and it came with various games, including Virtual Villagers. I tried it and got hooked.

i google searched "Something less addictive than everquest" and it turns out they lied!

but really, I found it on my friends computer while snooping.

I was on Shockwave.com, and I came across the web version of VV1, so I gave it a try, and loved it!

here!

here!

here!

i was searching for a simulation game on google and somehow i stumbled upon vv1, i absolutely loved it now im addicted to both vv1 & 2. and i prolly will for 3!

Where did you find out about our games?
You may choose only one
a website (msn, aol, pogo etc)
a print magazine
a friend
a search engine (google, yahoo etc)
other (please indicate below)

I found VV1 at Walmart after I had back surgery and got tired of crossword books. VV2 I down loaded off Bigfish.com

I said "other", but I guess it could have been "website."

I found it via a review on Amazon. I can't remember if the review was for PT or for FT (I accidentally neglected to specify DS on the search of Tycoon games), but I wound up with FT DS.

being a pogo member since 2000, I am always delighted to see something new pop up, and lo and behold, one day, there was VV1. It took about 7 seconds flat to be hooked, and within a day I had half of the people on another forum I belong to addicted as well. Oh the stories we shared in the shoutbox about our little baby makers HAHA.
Then VV2 came out.........then my daughter said..."mom, whatchya playin? can I try?" she was 5....

and so here we are, lol

I found vv1 on yahoo games n after some time found vv2 also there, but looking fr vv3 only here.

I was looking for another game on big fish when I stumbled across this game and thought it looked good. I played VV1's trial, and got hooked.

I found it on yahoo search engine I don't remember what I was looking for. I bought VV & VV2 on yahoo games but found your site after I bought VV2 last summer. I've watched the forums for so long before I joined about 7 or 8 months. I was so glad I found your site I have enjoyed all the comments.
This weekend has been snow and rain so I have been playing all weekend this is perfect weather to be on the computer. I was so glad it was a 3 day weekend I only went out fri night my friends think I'm nuts sitting on computer playing a game. LOL

Through Arthur's link! So I guess my answer is: here!

Reflexive Arcade Website, Browsing games

A coworker was talking about it...I downloaded the free trial from shockwave (vv1&2)then I started looking for strategy guides and found LDW found out about vv3 and started hyperventilating...I was so excited. The day it came out I was at work and called my husband to let him know it was finally out...By the time I got home he had already pd for and downloaded the game :):):)

i found vv1 on bigfish,then eventually there was vv2
but i think i accually played FT before then, cant remember where though

As I stated in another forum, my first game was Fish Tycoon. I was searching the web on Yahoo, for "online simulation games". I like sim-type games. I got hooked on FT. Later, I found, also on Yahoo Games, Virtual Villagers, and discovered that this island is where those fish came from. I thought "cool, I'll check it out". As soon as my 60 minutes were up on that trial, I immediately purchased VV. Time passed, and on Yahoo Games, again, I saw one day "Hey, Virtual Villagers has a Part 2". That one, I didn't download. I actually found the CD in Wal-Mart for $9.99.
While searching the web for game tips and hints, I found this site. That was a year ago. That's when I saw "WOW, they're working on a Part 3!" So, I kept checking about one a month until I saw it here. I bought VV3 from this site.

Am anxiously awaiting VV4. I know, I know, 3 just came out, and I'm only just beginning the game. But all I can think is "If they did THIS much with 3, how much COOLER will 4 be?"

I saw them at Big Fish Games, but didn't check them out until I a discussion at http://www.gameboomers.com

It was Big Fish games. I tried VV2 and got so addicted I had to get VV1 also. By this time I had decided LDW had the right idea for games that would keep me interested so I got FT next. I next will get PT but I've been so busy playing VV3 that it will have to wait awhile.I'd like to see something more happen with FT like an addon with another store and a few more fish tanks. Love those fish too.

I too, originally found VV1 through Big Fish games, I think -- it's been a while. Well, I bought one of the first two at Big Fish games, and I used to have VV1 and VV2, but then I formatted my computer. When I went back to Big Fish Games to download the games I bought through them, I could only find VV2. Maybe I bought VV1 from here? Can't remember. Doesn't matter though, I don't want VV1 back again anyway. VV2 was fun enough to play again and I like VV3, but couldn't really go back to VV1 anyway.

I found VV2 through big fish and got hooked then I bought VV1 on disc through e-bay, sent from USA. I absolutely was thrilled when VV3 came out. I have completed all three but feel there should be more for the builders later in the game. as you end up with tooooo many in the water fishing and the lab and hospital also get packed out. The very first time I played this sim all my villagers died. I felt guilty for ages. fantastic game though Even my 6 and 8 yr olds are getting into it

I came across it on Shockwave. I have a yearly subscription there. I am so glad your games are on their site! Please don't EVER take them away!

I am surprised so many people here said Pogo. I never liked their site.

I found VV1 game on bigfishgames.com I got the game Diner Dash and then seen VV1. Ever since then I played VV1,2 and now I got 3

I was looking for simulation games on google, and it said virtual villagers 2, and it was on big fish. So I clicked on it and downloaded the demo, and it was so addicting!

i ran into fish then plant then VV1 all on incredigames then went to big fish for vv2 then direct to ldow for vv3

Me and my father were grocery shopping in WallMart and he said I could get a toy for being good.Went to the pc games section and all the games looked boring.But then I saw this small but,intresting game.VV1!I tried it and now it's my favorite game!

One of my friends played vv2 but she had a Windows computer so I thought I couldn'y have it on my mac. Then I was looking at the Apple site and saw it and I downloaded it!

I found them on Real Arcade.

I've bought all of my VV games at real arcade.

i found mines and bought mines at comcast.com

I found it at I believe MSN.com...I think?And yeah I tried the free trial of VV2.

I first played VV1 on Big Fish and I have played PT, FT, VV2 and VV3. I will soon be downloading VF!!

Pogo.

I played on big fish also.

Shockwave.

Shockwave.

I found them while searching for tycoon games on google.

I found it using google search I was looking for tycoon type games the first game I tried from LDW was Plant Tycoon.. And now VF. I am ashamed to say it I have not opened plant tycoon since I downloaded and started playing VF so I am sure all my plants from Plant Tycoon are dead

I found out by a file of games my mum gave to me.

I was on Wildgames and I loved VV2, so i went to the link to this website and joined!

Pogo.

A friend online who I play Reflective Layer games with. She started me on VV1 and we both have been hooked ever since (and we hook others).

I learned about them from my son. He got me hooked on Villagers. Then I did a web search to see if there were more and found this website. When I saw there was another villagers game in the making and also Virtual Families I came here every day to see if they were finished. I grabbed VF up as soon as it was posted. I plan on doing that with VV4 too. Lol!!! Arthur has really got us hooked!

I had been trying to find at least one good game to occupy myself with when my boyfriend is not home and Virtual Families was on Big Fish Game's #1 spot for games in the simulation category. After seeing the title I immediately clicked and got to loving the game. Eventually I came to the forum for tips and grew to love the community.

I saw Virtual Villagers on Big Fish and played the trial. I had never seen anything like it and I was hooked!! I have played them all. I had VV3 running for over a year until we moved from NY to NV. I love these games and I love the community. We are all big time loyal followers of LDW. They make me laugh and sometimes make me cry because we just get so involved with our little peeps. I don't know of any other gamesite like this.

found it on a program called addit for palm pilot. Only game on their i actually liked.

I was in a resale bookstore and found a boxed copy of PT for PC and Mac, bought it and have been enjoying it ever since. Later I had a question about it, joined the LDW forums, about a week afterwards I got VF and got hooked on it and I've been here ever since!!!

i found it on a add on freeworldgroup and i like it and now im adicted vv rule

I was on Mofunzone.com and Virtual Villagers 1 was there at the time for the 1st 'hot' one and then I got addicted into playing LDW Games

It all started with VV when I signed up for Shockwave games and the rest is history. I love all the Virtual games have played them all. Thank you LDW!!!

I found it through MSN zone games when I was still interested in that site and the first VV had just been released. After that, I was hooked.

I found these games at www.bigfishgames.com

Real Arcade!!
