Ask Guru Joe 1.5

What do you do when you want to get answers to your questions? You could use a search engine like Google or Bing; just type in a query and the search engine will provide you with relevant search results based on your query. But that’s hardly like asking a question and getting an answer for it. And if your question is something like “will I win the lottery?” or “will I be famous?”, you will definitely not get the answer you were looking for.

If you want to ask a question, any question, and get an answer, then you need to turn to software. You need to turn to a fun Flash-based game offered free of charge by NCBuy, a game called Ask Guru Joe. After you download and install this game on your Windows-powered computer, you will be able to ask the guru any question you want - you should ask questions that can be answered with Yes or No . You can ask him if you will be famous, you can ask him if you will win the lottery, you can ask him anything.

Okay, so the answers the Guru provides aren’t exactly insightful visions into the future, but they are quite fun. Think of Guru Joe as a virtual representation of the magic 8 ball you had as a kid – just funnier.

If you would like to get Ask Guru Joe and install it on your computer, here are the technical details you need to know about:
Download – the download weighs in at 1.9MB, which is quite lightweight. At such a lightweight download size, it will only take a moment to get Ask Guru Joe off the web and onto your computer.
Supported OS – according to the developer, Ask Guru Joe provides support for Windows 98, 2000, XP, ME and NT. But the game is Flash-based, so it should work on any Windows version.
Limitations – there are not limitations since Ask Guru Joe is freeware. You can use this application for as long as you want without having to part with your hard earned money.

Here’s a top tip: you will want to download and install Ask Guru Joe only if you want to play the game offline. You can play Ask Guru Joe online at miniclip.com. Go ahead, click the link!
