Question re: A New Vista Ultimate Freebie

It's called Microsoft Tinker as well as a Tinker Sound Scheme. I downloaded it as it appeared in the updates. It referred to it as a game but it doesn't show up in my Games folder. I rebooted my laptop and it still doesn't show up.

It's obviously very new as I tried to Google it and no new info on it yet.

 

Same here... just got the update, first didn't want it, then I thought I will see what it is, but no... its not in my games folder though the update went without a hitch...

*I don't know if this is because I did something long back to remove / not show the games or games folder.. I followed some advice around here..*

 

strange... I find it in my games-folder after having installed it through Windows Update. It's a game where you control a robot using the arrow-keys on the keyboard, then you navigate the robot through a square-board, sort of like a chess-board, navigating around different objects, trying to get to a special "exit" square on the board. The key is to get the robot there using the least amount of time and the least amount of keystrokes with the arrow-keys. It's a neat game, but for grognards, it's nothing to waste your time with. I only tried the first introduction level and couldn't care less about continuing to the next level. Anyway, it's free

The sound-theme I haven't tried, but since it's based on the sounds from the game, apparently, I see no reason to try it either, as I found the in-game sounds to be annoying.

Ah, well, just my 2 cents.

 

Sound scheme is pretty sucky. The game appeared in my games folder fine.
