:all the games?

I can't remember what site I bought VV1 VV2, PT, and FT from so I can't get my activation keys.

I'll rebuy if I need to, I'm already planning on rebuying PT since that one I never got to play as it wouldn't work on my old computer at all. I just didn't want to drop $100 all at once since I've already played and "won" VV 1&2 and FT, but I wanted to replay the VVs before the release of VV3.

Well, I'll wait until one of them pops on to post. I'm sure this is a topic others would want to know anyway. "What to do when you bought the game so long ago you can't remember where you got it and then you get a new computer."

I just went ahead and rebought PT. Waiting to get my keycode. Guess I'll play with the trial version until it comes.

Well do you still have them installed on the old one? If so when you first start the game it should say like brought to you by big fish gamehouse and so on. Then you might be able to go to that site and see if you can get your activation keys.

Hope this might help

No it's not there cause I don't remember which site I bought it from. I know I got some through you and some through Big Fish. But which I got from which - That just answers if you remember where you bought it from.

Lucas - the ones on my old computer became corrupted after I put in a new video card and wouldn't work.

The answer that I linked you to does contain information about how to determine where you bought the game:

Quote:
If you don't remember where you purchased your game, the best way to check is to start the game and watch the intro screens. The first screen is always ours (Created by Last Day of Work). If you purchased the game from another game site, there will be one or two additional screens. The first of those screens will say "Published by Big Fish Games" possibly followed by another screen showing which game distributor that version came from (eg: Distributed by Yahoo, Msn, Real Arcade etc).

• If there is only our screen, then you bought the game from us.
• If there is our screen followed only by the Big Fish Games screen, then you bought the game from http://www.bigfishgames.com.
• If there are three screens, then you bought it from the game site whose logo appears on the third screen.

That's why they tell you to "PRINT THIS PAGE AND KEEP A COPY FOR YOUR RECORDS"

I have a file for all the games I ever bought. Last year my hard drive went and needed to be replaced and all I had to do was pull out that nifty file. I feel sorry for you.

Also, if you purchased from Big Fish games, sign on and go to your account page. It will give you your purchase history, and that should tell you *exactly* which games you got from them.
