Menahune, I don't have this game but did you try increasing the level time?

Be sure you make a copy of the file before you do anything to it though, just in case luck

I just happened to be stuck Level 78 of this older game (which I'd never been able to finish) myself when Rosaboomie posted, so I've been following this thread with interest. I really appreciate the suggestions with respect to adding time and, after doing so, was finally able to complete the game.

Instead of being gratified, however, the entire experience has left me feeling somewhat disturbed. In short, I feel like a cheat!

That's not to say, however, that I don't absolutely believe the modification is necessary to complete this game. But it just seems to me that a player SHOULDN'T have to do that.

I'm not opposed to a game requiring either great speed or an elegant and/or complex strategy. But it seems to me that completion should be within the realm of reasonable possibility, and the programming on this one just seems to be off. The game was so well designed, from the music to the graphics to the integrated storyline, I'm just really disappointed that they dropped the ball there. To go from horrible frustration to guilty completion is neither satisfying nor consistent with an enjoyable game experience!

The good thing that's come out of this, however, is that I now have a real appreciation for the many games, including some that do not fall within the time management category, that provide exactly the right amount of challenge. I didn't recognize the art involved in this, and I'm definitely adding it to the list of things I look for and appreciate in a game!

GPN, It is possible to complete this game. At least to Journey 3, level 81. I did. when you pass Journey 1, they add blockers to add to the fun. I played it over and over for months. But it is possible. By the way I just turned 79. Never did CP games till last year. Lillian

Having second thoughts about your advice on going into the level folder, MaG. That will not help my current problem which is I have meddled with the gameinfo file and I think it has got corrupted.

Anyone care to take up Ana's suggestion and let me have a screenshot of what this folder should look like please?

Rosa on level 78, just get the orange power 3 times & use it on the middle block of the bottom row. the third time finishes the game if you've gotten rid of the ones on the sides to drop.there's 1 on the outside rows, I think at the top.You must get the orange power balls before you use any other powers,

lilkim55 - Hi Lillian, happy to meet another septuagenarian (sp?) gamer.

Now I have a question about 80 Days ... I finished the game too, at least to Day 80, but there's a Day 81 that has me stumped. I'll probably give it up now ... it's interfering with my dreams! Have you been able to get the wedding rings at Day 81?

Hi Janice, Yes. I have gone on to Journey 3. After you pass 81. (and you will if you keep at it) you start Journey 2. same boards, added difficulty. I have got to Journey 3 level 81. I stoped there. I played the game for months. Had enough. It's a great game. Lillian

Darlene keep matching four in a row until you get the orange ball power up.

Darlene, I think it is call a "fireball". First you get the hammer, then the magnifying glass, then the bomb, the the fireball.

I'm still working on it too. Got to increase my time again.

Okay, this calls for a seperate post. I got through level 78. yay yay yay

Bets and Darlene I did it the first time around, but am having trouble the second time. I try to match the tile that is in the bottom corners up so I can move an item over and have it drop down. Hope that will help yas!
