    1 of 5 A Big Pile of Shareware Friday, September 10, 2004
    Tucker from Holly, MI  

    All the games and most of the screensavers are just "basic" versions of other company's software. You can upgrade from the "basic" versions to a usable version, but it WILL cost you. This stuff should be included for free in XP, it's not worth the money.
