Re: Weekly Polls - 02/22/06 12:30 PM

Originally I was searching for "tycoon" type games when I first got my Palm and came across Fish Tycoon I believe. It was some 3rd party site. But I like to go to the original sites when I can (to look up more info, other games, forums, etc) so I wound up here! Sorry I can't be more specific but it was almost a year ago and I forgot exactly how lol. It might have been Google though I have a feeling I found some generic game site (like Big Fish or Handmark) and found the game/LDW's name through that.

I struck a conversation about computer games with my uncle at my grandmother's birthday party this weekend, and he mentioned how his girlfriend was obsessed with this game.

So I checked it out, and here I am, LOL.

I found VS and My Little Pet in a mailing from Palm, which directed me to Handmark.

I was just trying to figure out where I found my first LDW game! I know it was plant tycoon- and I'm pretty sure I found it when looking at a PALM game website. It looked interesting.... and well, here I am!

I was also searching for Tycoon games that I might want to try and ran across this one. It took me just a couple of days of playing the demo version before I bought the game. Love it!

Same as Warren, I think. I think it was a Palm mailing about Palm games. Only it was before Village Sim, so it was Plant & Fish Tycoon which caught my eye.

Re: Weekly Polls - 02/28/06 06:45 AM

I can't remember exactly cuz it's more than 3 years ago, I believe! But my guess is I must have come across it thru either PalmGear, Handango or 1src (formerly known as ClieSource). So I guess my vote should belong to Others, right?!

Re: Weekly Polls - 03/18/06 02:10 AM

I originally found Fish Tycoon on MSN Games. I liked the trial so I bought it. When I finished the game, I couldn't figure out how to restart, so I went searching for reviews, and ended up at Shockwave.com. Amid all the yakking - there's three pages of reviews! - I found a reference to the creators' home website, www.ldw.com. And, ah, here I am.

Re: Weekly Polls - 08/22/06 12:16 AM

I was signed up with real arcade and playeed the demo of fish tycoon and loved it. That was about 6 months ago. I came to your website and read up about VV and decided to wait for that one to come out. I checked back to see if it had been released a couple times a week. I was so glad when it finally came out. But by that time I no longer had a real arcade membership, I had moved on to BigFish Games so I bought it through my BigFish membership.

Mark, my fiancee, was on Yahoo Answers and read a couple of Questions and Answers involving VV. Curious, he downloaded the game from Yahoo, I think it was Yahoo, and he became an addict.
I became truly aware of the game when he downloaded the game to my computer. I am not a gamer, and I did not ask him to put it on my computer, so, as a result, I ignored the game Mark started for me. When Mark found out I had not checked that first game even once, he made me check it. When I saw those little skeletons I felt really bad, started a new game,and was determined to do right.

I am hopelessly addicted to this day \:\)

My sister sent me this game link for a game called "cute knight" with a spiel about how great it is "girly games" are coming out. I tried the Cute Knight download, bought the game, and played it for a few months. Then I decided to check out the "other games" screen, and Virtual Villagers was one of the "other games" advertised. I tried the preview, and decided that I really couldn't properly even evaluate it on an hour so I bought the game just to try it out. I think that's probably kind of sad.

I found my first LDW games at Real Arcade. The first one I found was "Fish Tycoon" and than a bit later, "Virtual Villagers." I enjoyed FT but after the 1 hour demo of VV I couldn't WAIT to purchase it. The VERY DAY that it was available I purchased it and have never regretted it. I am so happy that you have already made a second VV and are planning a third. Keep up the great work!!

And a sequel to Fish Tycoon with more/different fish and plants/challenges would be great too!!

I found out about VV-1 on jayisgames.com (Don't know how to make a link). It's a great place to review & play new games.

I bought the first version at mac.gamestore.com, and VV-2 from the good folks here at LDW! LDW, in turn, uses Plimus to process their orders. With a 30 day guarantee, you can't go wrong!

I use to be a Sims player, but those games got way out of hand, both.. ..in size and price. I finally shelved them and haven't missed them a bit.

But it was a game where you start work life just after school having learned nothing, & you go thru the next 10 years building a career. It was great, but after awhile I had done it all, so deleted it. They had been nominated for an award, & on going to that site to vote for them, I found Fish Tycoon, which was also in the running.

GameHouse. i get all my games from them basicly.. was looking for tycoon games since i'm a big fan of RCT found FT, said "hmmmm" loved it! so i tryed PT, again with the "hmmm" and loved it too! so now here i am onto vv.
i've beaten both FT and PT (admittedly by upping the clock to grow things faster) but i got that virtual seed tray for PT and just HAD to get one of every single seed there is. now if someone would do that for FT, i'd HAVE to get every single fish breed there is.
and isn't breeding people kinda what we're doing now? (along with other stuff of course!
but does LDW have a thing for breeding? first fish, then plants.. now people ? (sorry that was the order for me anyway lol)

You may choose only one

a print magazine
a friend
a search engine (google, yahoo etc)
other (please indicate below)

I found VV1 at Walmart after I had back surgery and got tired of crossword books. VV2 I down loaded off Bigfish.com

Re: POLL: Where did you find out about our games? - 05/13/08 12:42 AM

I said "other", but I guess it could have been "website."

I found it via a review on Amazon. I can't remember if the review was for PT or for FT (I accidentally neglected to specify DS on the search of Tycoon games), but I wound up with FT DS.

Re: Weekly Polls - 05/13/08 12:59 AM

being a pogo member since 2000, I am always delighted to see something new pop up, and lo and behold, one day, there was VV1. It took about 7 seconds flat to be hooked, and within a day I had half of the people on another forum I belong to addicted as well. Oh the stories we shared in the shoutbox about our little baby makers HAHA.
Then VV2 came out.........then my daughter said..."mom, whatchya playin? can I try?" she was 5....

and so here we are, lol

The day it came out I was at work and called my husband to let him know it was finally out...By the time I got home he had already pd for and downloaded the game :):):)

Re: POLL: Where did you find out about our games? - 06/01/08 03:39 PM

As I stated in another forum, my first game was Fish Tycoon. I was searching the web on Yahoo, for "online simulation games". I like sim-type games. I got hooked on FT. Later, I found, also on Yahoo Games, Virtual Villagers, and discovered that this island is where those fish came from. I thought "cool, I'll check it out". As soon as my 60 minutes were up on that trial, I immediately purchased VV. Time passed, and on Yahoo Games, again, I saw one day "Hey, Virtual Villagers has a Part 2". That one, I didn't download. I actually found the CD in Wal-Mart for $9.99.
While searching the web for game tips and hints, I found this site. That was a year ago. That's when I saw "WOW, they're working on a Part 3!" So, I kept checking about one a month until I saw it here. I bought VV3 from this site.

Am anxiously awaiting VV4. I know, I know, 3 just came out, and I'm only just beginning the game. But all I can think is "If they did THIS much with 3, how much COOLER will 4 be?"

Re: POLL: Where did you find out about our games? - 06/11/08 03:13 AM

It was Big Fish games. I tried VV2 and got so addicted I had to get VV1 also. By this time I had decided LDW had the right idea for games that would keep me interested so I got FT next. I next will get PT but I've been so busy playing VV3 that it will have to wait awhile.I'd like to see something more happen with FT like an addon with another store and a few more fish tanks. Love those fish too.

Re: POLL: Where did you find out about our games? - 06/11/08 08:59 AM

I too, originally found VV1 through Big Fish games, I think -- it's been a while. Well, I bought one of the first two at Big Fish games, and I used to have VV1 and VV2, but then I formatted my computer. When I went back to Big Fish Games to download the games I bought through them, I could only find VV2. Maybe I bought VV1 from here? Can't remember. Doesn't matter though, I don't want VV1 back again anyway. VV2 was fun enough to play again and I like VV3, but couldn't really go back to VV1 anyway. \:\)

Re: Weekly Polls - 06/12/08 09:50 AM

I found VV2 through big fish and got hooked then I bought VV1 on disc through e-bay, sent from USA. I absolutely was thrilled when VV3 came out. I have completed all three but feel there should be more for the builders later in the game. as you end up with tooooo many in the water fishing and the lab and hospital also get packed out. The very first time I played this sim all my villagers died. I felt guilty for ages. fantastic game though Even my 6 and 8 yr olds are getting into it

After seeing the title I immediately clicked and got to loving the game. Eventually I came to the forum for tips and grew to love the community.

I saw Virtual Villagers on Big Fish and played the trial. I had never seen anything like it and I was hooked!! I have played them all. I had VV3 running for over a year until we moved from NY to NV. I love these games and I love the community. We are all big time loyal followers of LDW. They make me laugh and sometimes make me cry because we just get so involved with our little peeps. I don't know of any other gamesite like this.

Re: Weekly Polls - 12/23/09 09:50 PM

My grandparents just got a new computer so while I was at their house I went on and went to a program that was installed onto their computer, Gateway Games. And the way Gateway Games works is they give you like 3 tokens, and you can play as long as you want (no 60 minute trial), and once you close the game, it uses one token, so I found VV2 on there and started playing for hours! Then I went to Best Buy and saw VV2 there, so I immediately bought it. I got addicted to it and i read the box and it shows LDW.com so I checked it out and now i'm here grin

I played a demo of VV1, and decided it was pretty cool. Then I bought it at the store. Eventually I came to a point to where I was confused about something, and I looked it up. I found my way here, and I have been here ever since.

Re: POLL: Where did you find out about our games? - 02/19/17 02:37 AM

I got the first one when I still had a Palm device. Moved on to buying the plant and fish tycoon games and all the VV and VF games for PC. Tried the ones on Android on a phone and tablet, but stuck with just the VF series there as the VV graphics are warped.

I, too, think I got the first one I played from Handmark or Big Fish. I remember thinking Last Day of Work was a clever name and looking at all the other games available.

My kids all got addicted watching me play, and when I load a new game up by LDW, they all beg to play and put it on their PCs. They were just a bit disappointed that VT isn't on PC (or I cannot find it). They do still play the VV series once in a while.
