We've seen a remarkable number of adventure games releasing this fall, and in response, our own MaG has written a remarkable number of walkthroughs. Though she'll probably throw rotten tomatoes at me for this, :Grin: I thought I'd celebrate MaG's amazing ability to be one of the first people on the planet to finish the latest adventure game, and to see to it that all the rest of us are eventually able to finish.  Here's to you, MaG! Hip Hip Hurrah! Hip Hip Hurrah! HIP HIP HURRAH!!!!!  For the games that have released since the start of September MaG has written walkthroughs for: Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun Anacapri: The Dream Cleopatra – A Queen’s Destiny Culpa Innata DARKNESS WITHIN: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder Ghost in the Sheet Jack Keane Nancy Drew: Legend of the Crystal Skull Next Life (Reprobates) Nostradamus: The Last Prophecy Rhem 3 Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa Sherlock Holmes Versus Arsene Lupin the King of Thieves Undercover: Operation WinterSun To find MaG's walkthroughs (as well as walkthroughs by our other fine writers), visit the GameBoomers' walkthrough page here.

Thanks, Sue. Now, if we can get the gamers to read the walkthroughs.  Thanks MaG!  You helped me finish Beyond Atlantis after about a year & a half of trying to get across the rainbow bridge. Yes I'm that slow.  That was a few years back & I've been a big fan ever since.  Thanks to Becky too.  Great job Becky!  joe

And not only does does MaG give us all these fantastic walkthroughs but she is also so generous with her time in answering hundreds of questions on the various Boards here at Gamboomers  What a lady and a half, eh ??  Cheers. Mad

Thanks, Sue. Now, if we can get the gamers to read the walkthroughs. I have lost count on how many of your walkthroughs I have read. But I know I wouldn't have completed any games without them and I have played all to completion due to your excellent guidance  Forever a fan, Linda

 MaG! When you think about it, that averages out to one game plus a walkthrough for it every 6 days! That's outrageous. You go, MaG! Thank you! Happy Birthday and thank you too Becky! Melanie

Well done MaG, you must put a lot of time and effort into what you do for the gaming community!
So have games become easier then if you're turning out walkthroughs like this?

I just want to point out, that it's not only quantity but mainly the quality, which makes those walkthroughs so outstanding. It's great when we as players can rely on a well explained hint when we're having our weak moments. The downside is though, that after frequently consulting the walkthroughs, people nowadays complain about too short games.

I want to add my thanks too, MaG! I've used your walkthroughs for years...any time I was stuck in a game I always looked for a 'MaGtRo' walkthrough as I knew it would be clear, detailed and set out in a way everyone could understand.  I'm very grateful for all your hard work. Thanks again! Thanks to you too Becky for all you do!  Mary

Thank you, Cailyn, Celtic Lark and MsMercury. I appreciate your words.  Melanie, Just to clarify, some of those walkthroughs were written ahead of time when I get hold of the game through the courtesy of the developer or Becky. Gracias!  Peter, Oh yes, much time. But all involved at GameBoomers have given a lot of their free time and effort so I can't expect myself to lax. The mods and staff freely work hard and we all appreciate it. It's different now - I am getting old so my reflexes are slow; my memory needs notes now and the spirit is willing but the flesh is deteriorating.  Danke! Metamorphium, You are sweet. That is a nice thing to say. Tak!

hi, I just started playing adventure games again about a year ago. I was playing Dark Fall and Nibiru and got stuck on both of them. I found gameboomers and MaG's walkthroughs. With MaG's walkthroughs I was able to finish both games. Now when I get stuck in a game I just go straight to Mag's walkthrough or hint forum. Thanks so much MaG you have helped me get through countless games.
