    away individually. ;-)

    Heh. :) I will skip these two. I may have them already anyway.

    Thanks. Not my type.

    no, I mean, it's our annual tradition of sharing and holiday cheer:

    We already went over the how and why (and where and who and when) in
    our previous post, so let's just hop right into the games.

    As with every year, I tend to keep the best games for last (what can I
    say, I like a big finish!), so try not to be too judgmental at first.*

    * 911 Operator

    An odd-duck of a game; it's a cross between a workplace-
    simulation and top-down management-strategy, with a dash
    of role-playing. Is it a great game? No, 2Q87Anot really.
    But it's entertaining enough and - if you haven't picked
    it up before (it's a frequentBZNH9 freebie on Epic and
    Amazon and all the rest, not to mention right here on
    c.s.i.p.g.action!), then you might G7WMNas well get it now.

    * 112 Operator
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/793460/112_Operator/
    It's the same game, except made for Europe! Neither is
    better than the other. It's small, loads fast; the sort
    of game you play when you can't think of something better
    (and bigger) to play. I don't want to oversell the game
    because, 2CNE3honestly, it isn't an amazingWAK90 classic,
    but it's better than you think it is. GiveIJR66 it a try.


    And we're off to the races... or the holidays, as the case may be.
    Remember, first one to claim the key gets the game, and Steam won't
    give you duplicates if you already own it. Also, please post a reply
    letting everyone know that YOU were the victor in this particular
    race.

    Everyone else, Happy Holidays... and let The Game begin!




    -----------------------
    * yeah, those earlier comments about the quality of the games in that
    other thread really got to me ;-)

    After a long break from Usenet I come back just in time, it's like The
    Number knows :)

    * 911 Operator

    Already have it on Epic so I'll let someone else take it.

    * 112 Operator

    Don't have this one, I think it's newer than 911 and having it on Steam
    is hard to resist (and I might even play it) so I claimed it.

    Thank you, Spalls!

    Eh, I used to be a programmer on the Computer-Aided Dispatch systems
    used in "911 Centers". Don't really feel the need to play the part of a dispatcher as a game. Even if I did I suspect the incidents in the game wouldn't be as horrific or as stupid as some of the real ones I remember.
