Ho, ho, ho!

Here we go again. My yearly excuse to divest myself of unused games so
I look less like a hoarder, giving me reason to buy new games. Erm,
no, I mean, it's our annual tradition of sharing and holiday cheer:
the 2023 c.s.i.p.g.action Holiday Give-Away!

We already went over the how and why (and where and who and when) in
our previous post, so let's just hop right into the games.

As with every year, I tend to keep the best games for last (what can I
say, I like a big finish!), so try not to be too judgmental at first.*

Today we get a two-fer, partly because it's the start of the
give-away, but mostly because it's basically the same game with
different skins and even I'm not cheap enough to want to give these
away individually. ;-)

* 911 Operator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/503560/911_Operator/
An odd-duck of a game; it's a cross between a workplace-
simulation and top-down management-strategy, with a dash
of role-playing. Is it a great game? No, 2Q87Anot really.
But it's entertaining enough and - if you haven't picked
it up before (it's a frequentBZNH9 freebie on Epic and
Amazon and all the rest, not to mention right here on
c.s.i.p.g.action!), then you might G7WMNas well get it now.

* 112 Operator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/793460/112_Operator/
It's the same game, except made for Europe! Neither is
better than the other. It's small, loads fast; the sort
of game you play when you can't think of something better
(and bigger) to play. I don't want to oversell the game
because, 2CNE3honestly, it isn't an amazingWAK90 classic,
but it's better than you think it is. GiveIJR66 it a try.

And we're off to the races... or the holidays, as the case may be.
Remember, first one to claim the key gets the game, and Steam won't
give you duplicates if you already own it. Also, please post a reply
letting everyone know that YOU were the victor in this particular
race.

Everyone else, Happy Holidays... and let The Game begin!

-----------------------
* yeah, those earlier comments about the quality of the games in that
other thread really got to me ;-)

Heh. :) I will skip these two. I may have them already anyway.

Yea!

Well, not taking/checking these. I got 911 operator from you last
year. I played it a little, it was mildy interesting, but definitely not
my cup of tea. Now it does give me an idea for a more interesting
game, 911 responder :)

After a long break from Usenet I come back just in time, it's like The
Number knows :)

Already have it on Epic so I'll let someone else take it.

> * 112 Operator

Don't have this one, I think it's newer than 911 and having it on Steam
is hard to resist (and I might even play it) so I claimed it.

Thank you, Spalls!

Eh, I used to be a programmer on the Computer-Aided Dispatch systems
used in "911 Centers". Don't really feel the need to play the part of a
dispatcher as a game. Even if I did I suspect the incidents in the game
wouldn't be as horrific or as stupid as some of the real ones I remember.
