Re member the Tribbles on Star-Trek?

Chuzzles very addictive. Wonder why I haven't been posting much? Chuzzles are part of it.

I dunno. It got old after the 6th level although the locks were a cute idea.

Not as fun as Slingo, is it, Sara?

Yeah, I really take challenges well. Just let 'em roll right off my back.

You won't have that Word Descrambler crown too long either. I cracked the code.

Re member the Tribbles on Star-Trek?

Anyone else running Safari on Mac OS X and having trouble playing the online version? I see the full animated pre-game ads and all the instructions, but then no game

The downloadable deluxe version is not out for mac yet

Re member the Tribbles on Star-Trek?

Hmmm...Is Slingo just completely, utterly random? Or is there something to it that I'm missing?

Doesn't work for me in Netscape or IE. Must be an OS X thing.

Re member the Tribbles on Star-Trek?

I just turned the sound off (just in case) and launched the game in OS X.

Nada.

I scanned the site's help files. No documentation for Mac users at all. Generically, it describes the "not loading" problem as a Java issue.

It's not uncommon for Macs and Java not to get along.

Yeah, Java blows for mac users - real problems. I was hoping it was just me, looks like a fun game....

Re member the Tribbles on Star-Trek?

Be grateful, Leslie. It's a huge time suck. One game lasts forever.

Darn you, Amy.

Totally random. I mean, not if it's Sara and I. Then it's actually a contest of wits and skill, but it's a great way to decompress and not think about the world for 15 or 20 minutes. Just pretty sliding numbers and sounds.

Re member the Tribbles on Star-Trek?

Any idea what the symbols are for? (Go to "Menu") They all seem to match up just like the colors, so what's the point?
