I got an urge to bust out all of my old games recently. For some reason, none of the VV games were on my latest computer, even though it looks as though all of my other games software going back several years is. So...
I searched my mac, since it has all sorts of stuff from my previous macs (one of which only lasted like less than a year because i did horrible things to it. ugh) and I found receipts for #s 1, 4 and 5.
The thing for #4 was an email receipt from LDW, the one for 5 was from Plimus and the one for Virtual Villagers #1 was from a place called Oberon Media.
So.....I checked the place where i buy most of my games (BFG) but there are no VV purchaes in my history.
Is there a way to check whether I bought the other games directly from here & just dont have the receipt info anymore?
But FYI I am going to go try the activation or registration codes for those 3 now and hopefully they'll work. It bugs me to no end how some game developers or sites have limits to that.....especially since I ended up having more computers than I wanted to.

I've never seen this happen before! Never ever ever. I am reinstalling all of the old games because for some reason, when I migrated all of my old files from my poor, dropped on the floor old computer, none of the LDW games seem to have made it. I dont quite understand why but...anyway, I clicked the demos from here on this site to download (then I was planning on trying my registration keys).
But alas, here is the error message that I got once I tried to begin the download:
I've never seen this before despite the bazillions of games & software installed on this system. Yikes:
Virtual Villagers New Believers (and then the same for each title of the 3 or 4 that I'm trying to download) can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store & identified developers.
So you'd think well I set something to not allow that BUT....as I said I've never seen this before. Any ideas?
