=========================================================================================
Season 22 Games List - Starting on Jan. 8th, Monday 9 PM UK Time
=========================================================================================

There is a 4.2% chance of any game being picked initially and a 12.5% chance of one of your 3 games being picked. After that the odds increase with each game that's chosen.

There were 24 games selected for this round, nicely done folks.

Having said that, there is also a very good chance none of your games will get selected this season as only 10 do get selected. I've had that happen to me a few seasons, not a big deal.

Let's go out and have fun with whatever games are selected. As usual, I'll employ the 'blind man's' approached using a bowl with the games in it and holding it above my head when picking the game. It's not very high tech but it's a very good random generator.... :wink:

These are the nominations for Season 22.....and, on with the games.

I've done that. Is it your overdrive that isn't working? Ways have been suggested for you to be able to play from the site where nearly all our SSD files come from. You may need to resort to one or some of those methods if you don't have a game that's chosen but anyway, I have replaced overdrive with swoop.

I just had a play of Overdrive in the browser on the Mac and it seems to work ok. The only issue is the high score table doesn't have names next to the scores. I guess taking a screen snapshot of the game and saying what you scored would work ok? The last score is still on the screen, but of little use if the last score isn't the highest score (just in case the player hasn't taken a screen snapshot after every single game)
