Empire Builder: Ancient Egypt - Free Game | Freebie Games | Forums

Many of you may already know about MyPlayCity.com games. They give away free games, with a catch. They have advertisements. Today, I will show you how to get them free and without ads. It works for all of the games on their site that I have tried. For this example, I will use Empire Builder: Ancient Egypt, which can be found at http://www.myplaycity.com/empi…..e_builder/. The direct link for the installer is http://files.myplaycity.com/fi….._setup.exe. Download the game, 89.1MB installer, (94.5MB unpacked and fully installed – so you need that much space on your hard drive) and install as usual. Nothing too difficult so far. Now navigate to the installer folder  (for Vista, C:/Program Files (x86)/MyPlayCity.com/Empire Builder – Ancient Egypt) and locate the (7, I think) internet shortcuts. Select them all and delete them. Now look around for game.exe, NOT Empire Builder – Ancient Egypt.exe, as that will show you an advertisment on load. You can create shortcuts and what-not from game.exe. The game.exe file shows no advertisments (because you deleted the internet shortcuts – it originally open myplaycity.com after playing) and no start-up ads (as if you ran it through Empire Builder – Ancient Egypt.exe). That's it!

I'm sorry about that. I'm terrible with words (numbers are more of my thing). Anyway, your explanation was way better than mine, so thanks.
