Mystery puzzle number 3
Rant time:
Ok, just to clarify something about the puzzles: They are designed to run on Windows - XP, 2K, & 98. They may run on 95 but I don't have first-hand experience with that.
Yes, I agree that Linux is in many ways superior to Windows, however the plain truth is that 95% of the people who play games on computers do so while running Windows. I like to share my puzzles with as many people as I can, so naturally I create them to run on the platform the vast majority uses.
It just makes sense to do this. To borrow an analogy, how far would you get if you made cars that only ran on 5% of the roads in this country?
With computers becoming so cheap as to be almost disposable, more and more people own multiple computers as well as game consoles.
So rather than expect all the people who create things for the computer to double their work to accommodate an extra 5% who may or may not ever see what they have created, why not simply buy an extra computer if you want to play what the other 95% of the world plays?
That said, I have received lots of feedback on the Mystery puzzles and especially the nudes. Only one person has complained about me posting nudes. Something about me burning in he** for trying to inflict porn on innocent children. I just don't get some people. I plainly stated the puzzles are artistic in nature, not porno. Ever see some idiot condem a book they never bothered to actually read? Same thing.
On the plus side, the puzzles, both the mystery and the nudes, have already been downloaded over a thousand times... Each...
Along with a bunch of requests for more, more, MORE! Especially the nudes.
So I have decided to develop a website dedicated to nude jigsaw puzzles.
I'll post it here when the site is ready to launch.
Meanwhile, here is another Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle. The clue for this one is - 'Tiger, Tiger, burning bright.'
Enjoy, and thanks for letting me rant.
