Sorry, but I simply don't trust downloading an ActiveX from a "PopCap" company... There's no reason why a Bubble Bobble can't be done in flash or in Java... Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

Although some versions of the game feature the characters fromBubble Bobble.

They are somewhat well known when it comes to game software for handhelds (Palm, PocketPC), and, IMHO, produce some rather decent quality (if not fun-to-play) software.

Yes it is, as is the Flash and Shockwave players, QuickTime embedded player, and several others I'm sure you use almost daily.

I think the only reason I ever downloaded Flash is becuase I either got tricked into it or finally got annoyed with the message about the plug-in popping up. X| As a general rule, plug-ins are evil. "Fish and guests stink in three days." - Benjamin Franlkin

That is odd, HTML + CSS has far more cross-browser problems than most plugins. Flash is often used by nutters who want pixel perfect duplication across systems*. It is faster though :) * Please note, I love HTML. I work hard to avoid websites I create using Flash or other plugins. But Flash is more consistent, one vendor and all that. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."
