Why do my games run so slow? In case of a Coffee-Break-Game® running too slow or incorrect, your computer might be too slow. Close all other programs to reduce your processor's workload. In order to be able to run on as many Windows® based computers as possible (i.e. laptops also), the PC versions of Coffee-Break-Games® are flash based and get by without any hardware accelaration at all - in return, they require a processor speed of at least 800 MHz. Do I always have to start my games manually by doubleclicking them? Should you be tired of starting and organizing your Coffee-Break-Games® manually, then let our CBG-Jukebox help you! Use this Jukebox to organize your CBG collection and to launch yourself into the middle of the action with just the press of a button! You can download it at the Goodies section for free. There you'll also find the appropriate desktop wallpapers of your favourite game. Is there a "Boss-Key" that can hide my game from the eyes of others? Yes! You also need the CBG-Jukebox for this feature. All games that have been launched by this box can then be frozen and hidden by a single press of a the CBG-Key (preset: the Windows® key). Another click of the same key puts you right back in the middle of the action, the second the coast has cleared! Can I play my Coffee-Break-Games® in fullscreen size? Yes! With the magic Coffee-Break-Games® Arcade Machine, you can make every Coffee-Break-GameĀ® fit for a real amusement arcade!
