Kumaki game

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.freeware.games (More info?)

Newbie to group.
Kyodai has an option Kumaki - moving blocks to get 3 in a row, which then
drop down. This goes on until there are no more options.
The trouble is that it uses close to 100% cpu constantly so you cannot use
it while waiting for a download or email reply as it slows the my system
(plenty memory and disc space) to a crawl.
Is there a freeware equivalent or similar?

If you are a registered user of the shareware Kyodai MahJongg, you could
register at it's site (ww.kyodai.com) and get help in the members forums.

About Kumika:
> Kumika is tile-swapping game. It's based on Japanese game "kumikae" which is Japanese and means "recombination". The board is filled with tiles of different colours. You can swap places of two tiles and create rows containing three or more tiles which will be destroyed. Tiles will fall down and new tiles always appear to the top. So the table doesn't actually never get empty. You just try to keep playing as long as possible. This is little a bit minus side in this game, it doesn't give you the feeling that you actually achieve something.

Bejeweled isnt freeware, you can only play it for an hour and after that you
cant play it at all...

Here we go again, Anka... sigh. Did you really read what I wrote at all?

I referenced to the game he was asking for as a 'Bejeweled (aka Diamond
Mine)' type of game, nothing more.

And pointed the OP to several freeware games.

As an alternative, you might want to check out Process Tamer:
http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/proctamer/index.html

"Process Tamer is a tiny (140k) and super efficient utility for Microsoft
Windows XP/2K/NT that runs in your system tray and constantly monitors the
cpu usage of other processes. When it sees a process that is overloading
your cpu, it reduces the priority of that process temporarily, until its cpu
usage returns to a reasonable level.

There are many times when a process will hog your cpu, such as when
converting audio/video files, or working with compressed archives. Because
these processes completely consume the cpu, your system becomes sluggish to
respond and using the computer for other tasks becomes impossible while
these processes are running.

Process Tamer solves this problem by identifying such these degenerate
conditions and temporarily reducing the priority of the offending processes
in order to allow your system to respond to other requests. Stop being a
victim to an overloaded cpu - let Process Tamer keep your system responsive
no matter what you're doing."
