Does anyone know if it is possible to move Lost Worlds Recharged game to a new computer? Can i just move the whole folder (which contains everything) to the new computer--will the game still be activated? Thanks!

I haven't tried it, but I suspect you'd need to reinstall and reactivate the game. You may be able to use the same key. You could certainly copy the game folder with your stats.dat and the Rounds subfolder so all of that is maintained.

Still, it wouldn't hurt to try, I guess, then go through the reinstall process if the copy doesn't work.

The game transfered ok and runs well, but i need to re-activate it. It seems like it's going to be difficult to get a new activation code for the moved game. The original email i used no longer works and i don't know what my code was. any suggestions for getting a new activation code?

You should probably go to Amazon's download area and see if you can find something there. If there's nothing in the help area, use the contact form to request a new activation code (make sure you tell them you purchased from Reflexive).

Shockwave.com has the game for $6.00 and for $1.99 additional they will send you the CD so you can back it up at any time you have a breackdown. They have all the Ricochet games, and they are the only one (as far as I know today) that they will send you the back up CD. Amazon does not which for me is a minus.
