SWB Games was founded from my frustration with the computer games industry, which is high on graphics and low on playability. The games here are intended to be on the intermediate level, turn-based, possessing moderate graphics and sound, thorough instructions, and minimum unnecessary complexity. Time should range from 0.5 to 4 hours.

All games here are offered strictly on an as-is basis, though I will do bug fixes and enhancements as time and energy are available.

The games are free, I'd rather hear praises about them than the small amount I could make by registration.

Since I am not a registered provider with Microsoft, trying to download and install these games will meet with a variety of "Are you sure you really want to do this?" type screens in Windows. You basically have 2 choices:

Power through them (there is a way on every popup) and go forward anyway, knowing you are proceeding at your own risk (I don't know of any viruses, but that doesn't mean it can't happen)

-- or -- Slink away in cowardice and go to some other site.
