Here's Mr. Bill on Jack Orlando Director's Cut 2001 Director's Cut edition.

Yea, I am like this too. I can still remember the first game that got me started collecting games and it wasn't really even an adventure game. It was called Elvira Missteress of thhe Dark and it was more of an action adventure.

I'm not really comparing hidden object games with adventure games. It's just that they are very addicting also and it's nice to take a break sometimes or play something different while waiting for another adventure to come out.

Hey Jalex

Re: Elvira

I loved that old game, especially that bit involving cooking up spells using ingredients hidden in the premises. And I liked the bit about crossing swords with zombies. Having the gory pics for the endgame scenes were really cool, even though these pics disturbed me a great deal as a kid. I even liked the code wheel used for copy protection.

Me too, me too! What an addiction. I got rid of quite a few and now have even more, some I will never part with and some won't play right or load ie. The Experiment but little by little I work my way through them and keep ordering MORE!!! I love it!!

Oh yes-aint that the truth! When I first discovered the wonderful world of games I BAAGed so many, fearing they would no longer be available-that was 6 years ago-and I still have 4 of those I bought that year unplayed-little did I know more and more good games would come out and I could never keep up with them all.
Now, I try to only buy highly praised ones and I read reviews and people's comments first. But I still have 7 or 8 newer games yet to play-I'm firmly convinced we'll never run out of games-what a grand thought!

Hahahaha....glad to see i am not the only one with unplayed games and yet,....yet....get more! That is going to slow some pretty soon as my machine is just not quite up to handling some of the newer games....(boo-hoo)..but still...have lots on the shelf to enjoy!

LOL you are not alone....
I have a few "To Be Played",
take a look

Winfrey's page

A nice long list there.

I have 50 unopened games and just bought 2 more today. Rhiannon and Nikopol were at Target and fell into my cart. Everlight fell in my cart at Best Buy yesterday.

You'll love Jack Orlando. Hope you get to play it...I too have bunches of games unfinished and i play HOG's in between the new large file adventure games. Can't wait for more...

Your addiction gets worse when you start playing casual games

Now I am addicted to two different types of game playing...

I must say...Its all,Ana's fault ...One day I posted I was bored had nothing to play...She told me come on down to try out the casual game list...I have been there also ever since two years now..

That's not the half of it either! Not only do I have and kept all the MYST series but now I am rebuying them from GOG as downloads so they play on my WINXP computer!! And I have all the old Tex Murphy games from them too and The Dig...as for the 'casual games' there are some adventure games offered by BFG as well that are great - just finished Green Moon, been at it for more than a week or so. And the hidden object casual/adventure games have me hooked also. My new unplayed stack of 'regular' games includes COM The Tree of Life, Still Life 2, (latest) Treasure Island, Black Circle, and Book of Legends, also Hidden Secrets The Nightmare. What fun! (I',m 74 and hope I live long enough to play all these and LOTS more)
Love, Betty Lou

Retired at last

I keep on trading for and buying games, telling myself each time I do that I MUST have a clear out of games I know I'll never play again

Only to follow that by telling myself .... But then again, I just might ....

And so the collection, the entertainment and the pleasure keeps on growing

Hey, y'all,
Do you realize you are answering a thread that was started way back in October, 2008? I think your posts are somewhat late, but interesting even so!
