Chris Mason
Chris Mason is a software engineer who would rather have been a writer, but he is addicted to coding and couldn't figure out how to support himself writing obscure novels. He worked as a programmer and programming manager for 18 years -- including 10 years at Microsoft, where he was involved with Word and Office for Macintosh. He has three software patents stashed in the back of his closet. After leaving Microsoft for good he founded GrowlyBird Software, which develops free Macintosh applications. He has written ten novels, four of which are available here. Three of his other novels are for sale on Amazon (as ebooks and paperbacks, at the link shown below), and another will be available there soon. Because he's a workaholic curmudgeon with hermit tendencies, he doesn't engage in social media. But you can contact him at chris@growlybird.com.

Arcade in a Box - Chris Mason
Dedication
I would like to thank my mother whose idea for Mason Day
and the uttering of the phrase Oh my God Gilmore Girls is over Besides Dancing with the Stars What will I watch now
inspired me to explore the wide world of free TV and other media on the internet. My answer to her now is read on, the answers to your question are in this book.
What this book is
The book you are now reading is a roadmap to some of the best free video games on the internet. In the following pages, the reader will find step-by-step directions on how to get to the websites where some of the best free games can be found. This book is not endless links of websites. Personally, I hate books with filler. Therefore, while there may not be many links, the websites listed are the cream of the crop. I tried 95 percent of the websites in this book. Moreover, all worked fine on my Dell Dimension XPS with Windows XP Professional and my Dell Studio laptop running Windows 7. All screen shots were taken using Print Screen 95 and all the graphics came from the Animation Factory.
What this book is not
This book is not a book on piracy. This is not a book on how to beat the system
Everything in this book is legal, and of course free.
How this book is set up
This book has been set up in a step-by-step directions method. A template will be used that will have all the steps and screenshots needed to let the user be successful. These templates then can be applied to similar situations and to the websites listed at the end of each section of the book and the templates will work for 95% of these situations the reader will find himself or herself faced with.
