We love it when Fish Tycoon-ers come home to LDW, but we are dying to know where you found the game!

Feel free to post to this thread if you found it somewhere that we did not list.
Where did you first find Fish Tycoon?

Games2Download sent me an email about Fish Tycoon. I'd always liked the fish screensavers ... but had wanted one where you could actually feed the fish and take care of them. ............ Now I get to breed them toooooo!

As you might have noticed......... I LOVE THIS GAME!

I saw your request for Mac Beta testers on a news site and so I got to this place. I don't regret I took a look here

I have a MSN Passport, and I play games often on MSN. I saw an advertisement for Fish Tycoon, and decided to try it out.



Oh, by the way, Yahoo and Shockwave later added the game to their lists... but it was MSN where I first found it.

I found it on Amazon.com when I was looking to see what Tycoon games had come out lately. Then I went and found the website. *grin*

When I bought a new PC the trial version of FT was already downloaded onto it.

Was it a used PC? What was Fish Tycoon already doing on it? Are we being bundled with some hardware that we don't know about?

Probably one of our distributors got some deal together and has some trial versions bundled with new PCs. When you ran the game, who was 'selling' that version of Fish Tycoon? Was it trying to send purchases to Big Fish Games, for example, or some other distributor?

I'm Not sure. When I open the games section on my PC then click on BUY FT it only lists a price. Now that I read your post again, when I open my full version of FT it says it's a Big fish/ LDW game......Hope that helps

I saw mine on MSN - the Australian nineMSN website, to be precise. They were featuring it on the front page of their website. I'm not a big games person, and I get sick of them easily.

I like Fish Tycoon, because I don't get "stuck" at a level that I can't get past.

I've been playing it on the Shockwave web site, the problem is I keep getting an unspecified error which shuts down internet explorer. this has happened to me on my old computer too so I think its something to do with Shockwave, it's driving me mad!

Unfortunately, that particular error occurs in the Flash version of the game on all browsers, on Macs as well as Windows. The good news is that your game isn't wiped out when that happens, so you can just start it back up again.

(other) in the Apple site. really enjoying the game. there are reviews in some sites that are outdated by the way. cons refering to typos and other issues that seem to have been patched.

I found it when i was trawling though Palm.com's list of games and i came across LPP. I downloaded the trial but realised i was missing out of some things, so i followed it back to where else but LDW's home page.

At that point i virtually hit gold when i came across FT and PT, and later VS.

I got bored of my old true time game. I used to play OGAME a lot (online strategy game) but I really hated it the game being so timeconsuming. I did a google search for tycoon games and ended up at some gamespage and downloaded the game. I never thought fish were so intersting.

Hi I bought FT and PT for Palm OS at Astraware. After some problems with my Palm, Astraware directed me to you folks at LDW, where I discovered FT for Windows on the LDW site. So I really should have selected both LDW and Other (for Astraware). I'm really looking forward to PT for Windows!

I really don't remember, it was so long ago. I get most of my trial games from Game House. I find myself in obessive waves of playing all kinds of games, then taking a break. It also could have been ona link during one of my many blog reading/clicking on links marathons.

I purchased through Shockwave. Both vv's where downloaded from there as well using unlimited membership. The problem there is you don't own the game. If I get around to purchasing will probably do so through Big Fish as you can get a break there if you buy several.

I was bored, and it was listed as a favorite at the time so I downloaded the trial version, liked it, and then paid for the full version.

I have Fish Tycoon, VV1 and VV2. Looking forward to VV3.

Here's more detailed information.
I found out about F&P Tycoon after I found out about Virtual Villagers and I soon bought FT&PT the day before thanksgiving 2014
PS:I don't play at bigFish anymore and they won't give me refunds so I am working up the money to buy PT and VV series here.
PPS:I already bought VF1 and VF2 from here.
