Hello Kat and Tigger and all-

So great to be here, such a shame about TAC, I have asked them why, but so far they are mum about it. It is so nice and friendly here and I look forward to many happy evenings.

Thanks

Margo wave

Dear Kat-

I can never seem to get into my Nancy Drew game, I have had it a year and never go further and keep putting it on and taking it off. Is there something I am missing, like being more patient//

Thanks

Margo

Hi Margo... I mean, Maggie57! wave

I'd like to add my own personal...

--- ---

to you!

Now, which Nancy Drew game are you playing? And after you tell me, we probably should move our discussion over to the Hints forum here... wink

RPGs do have fighting, but some of them are like a whole bunch of adventure games put together.

Lots of help there too for it, should anyone want to give it a try. devil
Nickie, you make a persuasive argument! wink

I'll keep Divine Divinity in mind, the next time I'm shopping for games to pile up on my dusty, 'unplayed' shelf... smile

Isn't it interesting that games with FIGHTING in them are more popular (in general) than games with peaceful, lovely environments in them...? think

Hey Katsmom and all the other refugees from TAC, isn't this a nice place and nobody picks on you, I love it. Only problem is there is so much going on that I don't get anything done. This thread is tempting me into the RPG games, Raj is now raving on them. A plus is I have my grandkids about, in case I have no clue as to what to do. Next step is to get a scared OMG console, the excuse is that the kids will use when they come and they don't have to drag theirs over. Plus I really really want to play Van Helsing, even if it sucks, does it suck?


What kind of magic spell to use?

Hi again, Tigger. Here I am, up all night again (where I am, anyway).

While the daughter's away, the mom will play (hehehe)

I've played all the Nancy Drew games. Trouble is, I don't REMEMBER much about them today. The kids in the TAC forum kept telling me to play them AGAIN... but I insisted there were all these NEW games I needed to play first.

So when I try to help with ND games, I generally have to consult a walkthrough.

Yes, it is interesting. Does it in some ways factor in dealing with everyday stress - either doing a zen thing and being calmed by having a peaceful environment, or releasing the pent up road rage by blasting away at baddies?

Speaking of bad memory (or were we?)... I forgot I'd asked that question, nickie!

Divine Divinity, you suggested? wink

Is this actually true? Isn't The Sims the best-selling PC game of all time? And Myst must rank well toward the top.

It would be interesting to see a chart showing the ten best-selling PC games of all time.

Hi everyone!!!
Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around. Good to see some familiar characters here. Terrible thing about TAC. Helping people thru stuck points in their games is part of the enjoyment in adventure gaming for me. I already miss it.

Becky, you can kill people in the Sims too.... just get em to go for a swim and remove the ladders, make em cook when they have no skill points, get a guineapig....

Katsmom, I have all the ND's but only started playing them recently so I can remember most bits... especially the timed sequences!!!

Hi MBARI and MPGAME!

--- ---

to GameBoomers!

I'm glad you found this forum, where many former TAC board members have joined. It's been almost a week, and I still can't believe it...

MBARI, I agree with you. Helping others with their games is something I've always enjoyed doing. I've looked into the "Hints" forum here, and so far, I see most game questions are for games I haven't played yet. I also miss the Nancy Drew forum kids, though I couldn't help a lot in their forum, with my failing memory of the ND games.

Hopefully, we'll be able to help with game questions again here -- though we MAY have to start playing the newer games, LOL! smile

tigger -- so you're a fan of Nancy Drew games, huh? - - I keep telling the 'macho guys' that ND games aren't just for kids... or girls.

So where does one go around here, to find a discussion of Nancy Drew games? - -

My teenage daughter absolutely LOVES The Sims; but I haven't played it. I didn't know you could kill off your Sims characters! They're so funny when they move around, LOL! So if The Sims includes options for fighting among characters, and killing them off, that might be part of its charm (for some people, anyway). wink

MYST came out during a time when "action" wasn't yet popular, and we didn't have all those portable game devices. I haven't played URU, but I think it's a little LESS peaceful than the original? If I'm wrong, then let me know.

I should add that I also enjoy adventure games that are NOT peaceful; but I don't like the "action" sequences they put into some adventure games.

I'm sure some adventure games would be on a list of the 10 most popular games in gaming history -- but I don't know how many AGs would make it on a list of the CURRENT 10 most popular games. *sigh*

Katsmom, I have never played the Sims, but I have heard people who do talk about killing them off--I don't know how they did it---

Hi guys,

I'm a big guy and i like ND games even if i find ND annoying, i like to put her in trouble on purpose LOL.

My youngest son love the Sims games he have all the expansion packs (except hot date who's not very appropriate for a kid)

looney4lab, to kill a Sims you don't take care of him, you don't give him food, entertainment etc.., he will get sick and die, you will have a nice tombstone, in or out of your house and if you don't take care of your kids, social services come and take them.

Danyboy, this is my first post over here, (I am your friend to whom you emailed this link; I changed my name from "Rainbow" to "Vertex").

I played the SIMS 3000 and either didn't do it right or didn't get the point. For one thing, I couldn't get the people large enough for me to see them so I could enjoy the game.

I adore all the MYST games, and have all but the very last one, (I am cheap and waiting on the price to drop).

I enjoy NANCY DREW games; I guess it must be my second childhood since I enjoyed her books when I was a kid back in the Paper Age.

I don't enjoy blood and gore, but I do understand about youngsters who kill off their SIMS. They like to feel the power and the control they don't have in real life. In my humble and often wrong opinion, that doesn't mean they are bad or gonna be bad, but that they have some issues they would like to get out of their lives.

Well, Happy Gaming!


OF COURSE THOSE CRAZIES ARE HAPPY! And that makes me crazy!

Hi Vertex,

I answered your other thread

About the Sims, sometime they die, even if you do your best to take care of them and yes maybe some people like to kill them on purpose, my son was so happy when he had his first baby in the game, he got him in the bathroom LOL, it was too far to go see him and giving him the care he needed, social services came and took him away, he was very sad about this, after understanding how babies were coming in the game, he find a way to have him near him to take care of him.
