Reasonable Games is dedicated to compiling one of the best collections of non-violent logic and puzzle games around. We give preference to games that meet the following criteria:
 

	Have problem-solving at the core of their being. There may be other things mixed in, but it is basically a game full of puzzles and/or problems to be solved.
	Non-violent.  There is no blood or anything that resembles the shooting or hurting of people. It is good family entertainment.
	Do not require fast reflexes. Although there may be exceptions to this, most "thinking-type" games require lengthy reflection and thought and do not fall in the arcade category.
	Have a definite end. We are not trying to get people addicted to a game that never ends.  A good game in our opinion has a number of puzzles to solve and once they are solved the game is done.
	Does not corrupt one's morals.  In general, if the game, its documentation and its website do not violate the standards set out in the 10 commandments found in the Christian Bible, we will consider the game.
	Clean Website.  We will NOT link to any home page or website that contains ads or links promoting gambling, violence, pornography, exploitation of any part of the human race or in any way promotes immoral ideas or behavior.

We will consider games that meet the above criteria and which fall into one of the categories listed below:

	Adventure Games - These are games where the user enters a particular world or playing area and interacts with the scenery and people there. The object is to collect certain objects, move from one scene to another, find a secret object, etc. Although there are many adventure games, we will only include those in our library that require problem-solving skills to successfully complete the game. This also means that the solutions to problems should be logical (for example, sticking a fish in a door to open it is NOT logical).
	Jigsaw puzzles - These are standard jigsaw puzzles that involve putting pieces together to form a picture (or other object).
	Logical Games - These are games that have multiple levels, with each level having a puzzle to be solved. Each level is usually a standard playing field on which the player has to collect flags, find the exit, get past obstacles to a specific object, or some other task. The graphics usually do not change much from level to level, only the layout of the pieces on the playing field.
	Strategy Games - These are games that require you to use strategy to outwit your opponent (which may be another player or the computer).
	Visual Puzzles - These games require recognizing patterns, spotting the differences between objects, getting certain types of objects to line-up together, etc.
	Word & Number Puzzles - These games involve the manipulation of letters, words or numbers to get a high score or solve a puzzle.
	Miscellaneous - Anything that doesn't fall into the above categories, but still requires problem solving and would appeal to those who love logic, strategy and puzzles, can be found in this category.

At the moment we do not accept the following types of games:

• Card games

• Color-matching games (unless there is something very unique about it)

• Classic board games (unless there is a special twist to it)

• 4 or 5-in-a-row type games

By submitting a game to us, you are acknowledging that we can not be held responsible for any complaints about the game. Responsibility for the game remains the sole responsibility of the author of the game.

We require the use of PADGEN for all submissions. This is a program used for packaging information regarding your software.  You can get this program for free from http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/  You will also find details on its use there. Authors also benefit from the use of PADGEN in the following ways:

• More and more websites are requiring the use of PADGEN which in turn saves you from  typing in the same information repeatedly.

• You can update the program information at your leisure on your own computer without having to be on-line.

• Updates are simplified since you can simply update the PADGEN .xml file and resubmit it.

Finally, "Reasonable Games" is a fairly low maintenance website. No-one works full-time maintaining this website. We have real-world jobs that we are dedicated to and maintenance of this site occurs when we have a bit of free time.  As a result, updates occur only once a month (on average) and response time to your submissions/suggestions may take anywhere from 1 to 8 weeks.  Please be patient, we will respond!
