Are All Games Safe To Download And Play?

05 Jun 2012, 19:38I ask this because I normally will never play a game unless it has been played before and reviewed. I am not sure if when a game is put up if it has been tested and everything is fine with it. As in no pop ups start occurring or spy ware or anything else that could be bad for a computer. I am not sure with it being text if anything can be filtered into a game, but I figured I would ask anyway. And I am not saying any one would purposely do it, but maybe the person making the game is unaware they themselves have something on their own computer and had by accident, by uploading, sent a virus with it. Do you guys check every single game and or have an automatic system that does? I see tons of games with no reviews and that makes me think they were never played and or tested.
Also what does "Sandlot" games mean? There are tons of games in that category. Thanks.

06 Jun 2012, 05:04Quest games are safe, as they can't run any native code. Quest scripts don't have access to the file system or anything like that. This makes a Quest game about as safe as, for example, a PDF file - there shouldn't be a way for a Quest game to do anything bad behind your back, unless there is some kind of security vulnerability in Quest itself. This is not impossible, but I would say it's unlikely - and as it's open source, the code is there in case anybody wishes to check.
"Sandpit" is a euphemism really.
