January 13th, 2008

  • I'm back! Happy New Year! Yes, I took another of my 'unscheduled hiatuses' recently due to the holidays, but I'm back in the saddle again, so expect to see the weekly updates again.
  • I've added 8 new games to the list.

November 17th, 2007

  • Busy week -- I was only able to add 3 new games to the list. Hopefully I'll be able to add more next week.

  • Sorry for the delay in updating the website -- been very busy at work. Okay enough excuses -- here's 10 new games to peruse.....

September 21st, 2007

  • I've added a link to the main website for a great podcast on print-and-play games, including reviews, web links, and hints on construction. It's called (appropriately enough) The Print and Play Podcast and its done by FNH. You can listen to the podcast at http://printandplay.mypodcast.com/. Check it out -- it's definitely worth the listen.
  • I've also added the Amazon Honor System to the website -- this allows visitors to donate to GiY to show their appreciation. Think of it as a 'tip jar' -- and don't worry, the content on this website will remain free.
  • I've added 12 new entries to the list.

September 11th, 2007

  • For those of you that fear that I have fallen off the face of the earth...... My best friend of 17 years was in town for over a week, so instead of updating the website (which I know I should do), I played games. Lots and lots of games. Can you blame me? [grin] Never fear -- a new update is coming this Friday. Stay tuned....

August 25th, 2007

  • Oh boy! Problems, problems, problems! Not only have I been having hardware issues, but it seems that my dear friend who graciously allows me to use his server forgot to register his domain! Oops. Well, if you are reading this, well, I guess you found my new internet home. Please update your bookmarks/favorites to refect the new URL: http://dragon.tnweb.com/~dseagraves/index.html.
  • I've added 4 new games to the list.

August 12th, 2007

  • The weekly update was two days late -- hope I didn't worry any of you....
  • To all game designers: if you have a game that you've designed, but have no place on the web to put it, I would be glad to offer space here for your game. Just let me know....
  • I've added 10 new games to the list.

July 13th, 2007

  • It's been a particularly busy week for me, so I was only able to add 2 new games to the list.

July 6th, 2007

  • I've decided to start adding more public domain games to the website (as you may have noticed, I added Chess last week.) I'm also going to be adding historical games and such -- they might even make up their own section of the website. Stay tuned.....
  • I've added 10 new games to the list.

June 1st, 2007

  • I'm still trying to update the list so that each game has its own web page (so far, I've gotten all the way up to K.) Once I complete this task, I'll add more games to the list weekly. Until then, I'll stick to 10 a week....
  • I've added 10 new games to the list.

May 27th, 2007

  • Oops! I forgot to upload the latest files for the new games that were added 2 days ago. It's fixed....

May 25th, 2007

  • I've added 10 new games to the list. (Hey, I did say I'd add 10 a week, right?)

May 18th, 2007

May 11th, 2007

  • To make things a little more managable for myself, I've set a goal to add 10 games to the list each week. At 10 a week, it should only take another year or so for me to add every free game on the internet to GiY... (no joking, my best estimate is that there are something like 500 more games out there that haven't been added to the list yet.....) Of course, new games are posted to the internet every week, so it will always be a 'work in progress'....
  • I've added 10 new games to the list.

April 20th, 2007

  • I've fixed some broken links that came up during the last update -- everything should be okay now, but if find anything that's still broken please let me know.
  • I've added 5 new games to the list.

April 13th, 2007

  • It's been a busy month or so for me, so I haven't been able to update the website lately. Hopefully I'll have time to do weekly updates again for the next few weeks.
  • I've added 9 new games to the list.

February 24th, 2007

  • A request for help: If you happen to know how to contact Ken Maher please drop me a line and let me know.
  • I've added 10 new games to the list this week and 16 new games last week.

February 10th, 2007

  • If y'all were ever wondering if I'd ever run out of games to add to the list.... well, don't worry. As far as I can tell, there are a few hundred more for me to add (that I know of.) Sometimes I just have to say it out load (so to speak) just so I can grasp the enormity of the task that I've taken up. Don't get me wrong -- I'm enjoying this immensely, but I wonder just how big this list'll be when I'm through (assuming that I even complete the list.) That said, please let me know about any free games that aren't yet on my list.
  • I realized that I had some broken links on all of the new games that I added last week, as well as a few games from the week before. The problem has been fixed.
  • I've added 15 new games to the list.

February 3rd, 2007

  • Thanks to one of my visitors (namely the kaptain), I was able to fix some broken links. Thanks again, kaptain!
  • I've added 7 new games to the list.

January 27th, 2007

  • Another update! Looks like things are (mostly) back to normal. BTW, I'm moving the game entries to individual pages for each game, so if you find any broken links or other weirdness please let me know.
  • The website now has a logo, thanks to my son. It's in the upper right corner of this page. Hope y'all like it.
  • I've added 10 new games to the list.

January 20th, 2007

  • The question that is probably on all of your minds is --- why have there been no updates in over 3 months?!? The short answer is -- I've been busy. To make up for the delay, I've added xx new games. I've also added 2 new sections -- Abstract Games and Educational Games. As always, enjoy.
  • I've also updated the Random Game of the Week. I plan to update at least the RGotW on a weekly basis, even if nothing else is updated or added.
  • xx new games have been added to the list.
  • One game has been updated.

  • You may have noticed that the categories aren't complete yet. That is because I'm still working on updating all the pages on this website -- so far, I've updated the Canonical List up to letter S. Once that is done, the game categories will be complete. I'll probably be adding more game categories soon -- stay tuned.
  • 2 new games have been added to the Canonical List.

August 20th, 2006

  • I've added a new feature to the main page -- the Random Game of the Week. You can find it below the website description in the center column.
  • I've updated the website description to accurately describe what Game-it-Yourself is all about. Tell me what you think...

  • I've updated the Canonical List up to letter P.

August 11th, 2006

  • It's fixed! I've fixed the rendering problem with Internet Explorer -- now all you IE users that have not been able to clearly read the content on this site should have no problems. However, if you are still having trouble viewing the site, please drop me a line.

August 6th, 2006

  • It seems that my website doesn't render properly in Internet Explorer -- I've fixed some of the problems and am currently working on the rest. Wish me luck (grin). The site renders just fine with Firefox, though....
  • I've added a search feature to the website, compliments of Google. You'll find it on the left sidebar, near the bottom.
  • I've changed the look of the menu buttons on the left column -- thanks to Javascript Kit for the code.
  • 4 new games have been added to the Canonical List.
  • I've completed updating the Canonical List from letter N to letter O

  • 7 new games have been added to the Canonical List.
  • I've completed updating the Canonical List from letter D to letter J
  • I've started adding more graphics to the website, mostly clipart from free sources -- just a little something to spruce the place up a bit.... BTW, if you are a game designer that has a game that is featured here and would like me to use one of your images of the game (it can be a logo, photo of the game, or anything like that), please drop me a line.

July 15th, 2006

  • I have added several new games! I'm slowly going through the list of submissions that I have received over the last few months -- if you don't see your submission yet, please be patient. It'll be up as soon as I can get to it. BTW, if you have any games to submit please drop me a line.
  • I've received a report from one of my visitors that the pages on the site aren't displaying properly. If you're having trouble viewing the website, please drop me a line. In the message, please include the browser you use (Internet Explorer, FireFox, AOL, whatever) and your operating system (Windows XP/2000/Me/98, MacOS X, some flavor of Linux, whatever) -- this will help me troubleshoot any problems.
  • I've completed updated the Canonical List up through the letter C.
