Hi Katsmom & danyboy!!

So good to see you over here !! Welcome to everyone from TAC forum.

I just found out tonight and asked about it in the General Discussion section. Was referred over here. It's a sad thing, but regardless of the controversy, head banging, and dissention among the troops at TAC, we were all part of a family with one common love of "Adventure Games". I for one think any (within reason) discussion is good. When people no longer bother to join a forum to be heard anymore, because it's so "bad", thats when they should close-up shop and go home. TAC had a LOT of members. GOOD members. There can't be that many people in a "family" without having different views and questions on just about everything. I hope they re-think their position, but if not, oh welllll!

"THANK YOU GAMEBOOMERS FOR TAKING IN ALL OF US "LOST SOULS" .

P.S. danyboy, they have a spellchecker over here !

I never went to the TAC forums...but I do want to say all former TAC folks! Always nice to see new faces!

Thank you Rae! It's good to be here!

Milee10! It's so good to 'see' you, too!

*can someone kindly direct me to the SMILEYS around here...* *wink, wink*

Yes, I'm certainly a 'lost soul' right now; but glad to find some lost friends here.

Including both sent and received messages, I think I've lost over 500 Private Messages over at the TAC forum... *screams and tears her hair out*

I keep thinking about the youngest Nancy Drew forum fans... will they find the herinteractive forum, or remain 'adrift' forever...?

*ROFL* (trying to catch my breath!)

danyboy -- I'm so glad to know that you're around here, also!

everyone!!

Hi tigger -- and thank you! Gee, it feels like I'm playing a new adventure game...

It's also nice to know I'm not the only one who stays up late. Are you one of the moderators?

*only six more posts...

Look at the name under my avatar... yup, the Bouncy Super Mod

I'm not up late, it's 10am over here!!!!!!

My postings went up dramatically when I started playing in the Garden of Puzzling Delights....

Ummm... okay, then I AM the only one who's up late around here.

Actually, I have just over two weeks of vacation left before I go back to work. And then, I'll be waking up at this time, rather than going to sleep...

So this should be one of my last 'all night parties' for awhile.

Okay -- on to GAMES. My teenage daughter loves the SIMS. She'd play it a lot more often, if I'd just let her have the computer. *hehehe...

I just finished playing Dark Fall, and haven't started a new game yet. I have several sitting here, begging to be chosen. I mostly stay away from the newest games, and wait until OTHER people have played them first. I'm still catching up on a huge "black hole" in my life, when I didn't play adventure games for many years. I started out, though, in the mid-80's with the interactive text games on a Commodore 64 computer. Now, THOSE games were tough!

Well hello and welcome Katsmom, Danyboy, Milee 10 and all other TAC forumites I may have missed.

I am up early as I have to drive my daughter to her job, also on my way back to my nice cozy bed. *yawwwwn*

In a few weeks, I'll be doing the same: driving my own daughter to high school before going home to get ready for work. *sigh* Where has my vacation gone...?

It really is time for me to get some

But I'll be back soon.

The reviews section here is a great resource..

I play the Sims off and on, usually in between adventures!! Just finished the Arrangement, really liked it and just received Aura so thats next

WELCOME to GameBoomers, KatsMom!

(No special title under my avatar.... I am just an addicted Boomer! )

Welcome Katsmom, Danyboy, Milee 10! So nice to meet new friends!

Welcome to all you guys! I think you will find this forum VERY different from the TAC one. I stopped going there due the "in-fighting" amoung various members. GB is the BEST! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " />

YOU guys and gals are the best! Thank you for making me feel so welcome, at a time when I felt so LOST.

I'm deciding what to play next, among my group of games. I have Riven and Myst III: Exile (DVD versions, as I couldn't get my CDs to work on my XP -- and struggled all through Myst); CSI: I and II ; Law and Order II (already played the first one); and two TAC games that I anticipate tech problems with -- Schizm: Mysterious Journey (I) and Post Mortem. I bought a new version of Schizm to try, as the first one I tried kept crashing my computer to the 'blue screen of death' -- and Post Mortem isn't supposed to work with my Intel onboard graphics controller at all. So the last two games are "iffy" on my list.

I have more older games coming in the mail soon. When I go back to work, I won't have as much time to play -- so I'm pretty much set for the next YEAR.

My favorite games (so far) are Syberia I and II. I especially loved how they played on my XP with onboard GC, without problems! I've played all of the Nancy Drew games, having started playing them with my daughter (who still loves them, too). I've played Dracula: TLS, and will soon receive the first game of the series. Also: The Riddle of the Sphinx, The Omega Stone, The Mystery of the Mummy, Beyond Atlantis II: New Worlds Await You; Sanitarium (with great difficulty, likely due to my onboard GC); and Dark Fall. I think I may have left one or two games out, but... oh well.
