Thank you for letting me know, nickie! So Post Mortem should play using my Intel chipset... <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " />

I also prefer the character interaction games, over the "lonely" games (great term for it!). I love to TALK, so I guess that makes sense.

Melia -- it's so good to 'see' you here!

Hi again, syd. I've already played Sanitarium on my XP, and had terrible trouble. We had a long thread going about Sanitarium, on the TAC board. I posted about my endless game crashes while playing, and my creative 'tweaking' attempts that did no good, whatsoever! Inferno, I just realized that you're a member of GB. I tried to use your set-up for Sanitarium, but it didn't make any difference. My game crashed and crashed and crashed... well, you get the idea.

I really must believe that the problem I had was with the Intel integrated chipset and/or the driver -- which has recently been updated numerous times. I believe this because other members posted that they had no problem playing Sanitarium on their XPs with a 'real' video card.

I enjoyed ROTS and TOS, but my favorite games are the ones with human contact in them. I did love Sanitarium, despite my serious technical problems while playing it.

Syd, you mention a certain spot in Dracula: Resurrection (which I haven't yet played), where you couldn't allow your son to look. Do you (or anyone) remember a similar situation in DARK FALL? I was stunned by the unexpected and completely gratuitous PHOTOS in George's desk. It ruins what IMO would otherwise be a great adventure game for kids. And speaking of Dark Fall -- when the TAC lights went out, I'd just posted to ask if there were TWO versions of that game released? Because in MY version, I never got killed off -- not even in front of IT, when I made a mistake doing the 'trials'... Someone else posted that she HAD been killed off, while playing Dark Fall.

As for SCHIZM, well... it didn't sound like my favorite kind of game, so that ALSO keeps it at the bottom of the pile.

I didn't post which games I have coming in the mail yet; will save that for later!

YES! I do remember you, Rusty. I didn't see you around the TAC boards for a long time, though. Now I know where you've been hanging out.

Hi Melia <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " />
i didn't see you

And RAJ1, Angelfire, Unlaura -- I somehow didn't see your posts when I first browsed this thread. It's great to 'see' all of you again, too!

*no longer in Kansas, but in the Wonderful Land of OZ...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Gatorlaw-LOL! My name is Laura but that user name seems to always be taken, so I use unlaura because when I very first got internet service that was the username they gave me, un being the first two letters of my last name. Iknow, not very creative!

I think it's a GREAT user name -- always have! Unlaura... it sounds so mysterious.

Sorry about that Katsmom - I'm confusing what you played to what you haven't

Those integrated video chips are a pain. I generally build my own computers but this last time bought one "off the rack" so to speak. It came with onboard sound and video and before I walked out of the store I had a stand alone video card in hand. Used to be all adventure games could be played on low end machines - not any more - the system specs are getting up there with FPS and RPGs. That's why I have a few computers sitting around me - one with XP, one with W98SE and my trusty old P133 with W95 and it's whopping one meg video card and SB16 I get bored with just roaming around looking at stuff - I want to converse with people - find out what's going on in their world and yell at them for doing something dumb

That's okay, syd; even I can't remember sometimes what I've played! In a few weeks or so, I should have 14 adventure games in my UNPLAYED pile - - so as you can see, we have THAT in common, too!

So, syd -- can I join the dark side guild of "Not A Clue" who's game shelves runnuth over?

Well I'm glad I'm not the only orphan going on in here! Hey Danyboy, haven't seen you since the BJ thing was going on! By the way Katsmom, bkrytr is going to come over here some time today so we can all be one big happy family here as well!

Katsmom with only 14 games in your unplayed pile you are a mere baby - wait till you've been around us for a while We hang out in the RPG/Action forum. I'm a recent convert to said Dark Side of the gaming world (hence the "not a clue") - I dipped my toes into the murky waters of RPGs and found out I love them - lots of stuff to do, people to talk to, places to go to-ing and fro-ing (I love to go to-ing and fro-ing). Makes a nice change from adventure games.

Oops looks like while I was typing we have another new member.
