With all of the MaGtRo Walkthroughs that I have used, I have never asked if MaGtRo is a person or a company that likes to p[lay gamers and do walkthroughs. Just curious????????

Gotta say it.........MaG is a class act indeed. They broke the mold when they created her. Hope she never decides to retire many of us will be lost without her as our savior and crutch.

I'll just chime in here as well... With my thanks to MaGtTo for writing many wonderful walkthroughs for all sorts of adventure games And for being the kind, but firm  owner of this site  I don't get how she does it; has her day maybe 48 hours instead of the 24 hours ? other people use... I'm very grateful that I can come here when I'm stuck in an adventure game --- and read her walkthroughs for various games. Thank you so much  /karsten

While we are thinking about pizza, MaG is thinking about decoding the invisible ink message to fix the hydraulics on the submarine to ram the bridge to cause the train to move so the track is uncovered to reveal the missing crowbar to get into the mansion where the detective is being held captive.
Becky you are too funny  MaG...I love you...You are one "Special Lady" I can never said it enough.... "We Are Family"  I got all my Sister's with me...

Ohh...Becky that was truly funny  I can't stop laughing. And well thought out. Great Job! I say this over and over everytime someone discovers MaG so here I am again......Thank you MaG. You are some lady! I often lay awake thinking how you do what you do and so fast. I would never have thought of doing half of the things I find in your walkthroughs to get to the next step so I am in AWE that you do it so well. You truly are #1 in my book.  Barbara

Simply said, "I don't leave home without her".
I still have not been able to support my premise that her puppy writes the walkthroughs and she takes credit for them.
All kidding aside, MaG is the reason I enjoy Adventure Games.
Thank you, LOU

Are you all sure that she is one person. I came to the conclusion that either she never sleeps, just types. thinks and types again or she is really 3 people, who take turns, being kind, brilliant and tireless. There, I have it all solved. She is 3 people to whom I owe endless thanks for all the help she gives to all. Mel22odie

Let me add a word of praise, as well. I used to do a lot of adventure game reviewing, and rare was the time when I didn't come to a walkthrough from MaG for guidance. I don't know how she does it, either, and like the James Patterson analogy. I also wonder, since she plays virtually every adventure game, what she feels about some of them. Her list on The List is interesting. Have you ever done reviewing, MaG? I recall my friend, Len Green, who used to do a lot of walkthroughs, saying how much he enjoyed that process rather than formal reviewing. They're really quite different tasks, both having in common many sheets of yellow pad paper! Again, thank you!

I must admit that when I was absolutely at my wits end (not even an obvious hint would help me  ), I'd google for a Mag-through  cut and paste that rough spot onto a word document... for future reference of course

I am so happy to read this. (Often wondered who it was.) I LOVE her walkthroughs. If I'm interested in a game, I check first to make sure she has one because they are so thorough and easy to follow. Thanks!!

How could I have missed this thread? Wow. MaG, you were the writer of the very first walkthrough I ever used. Without that, I wouldn't be playing any games, since I was hopelessly stuck and had given up (almost killed my computer keyboard pounding on it). Thanks MaG! Without you I wouldn't be an 'addict'.

I am not too much of an adventure gamer (I love my casual games, IHOGs and some HOGs) but I do like Nancy Drew games. Did not have a clue that MaGtRo was the MaG here on Gameboomers. Oh my gosh, thank you for all your help in the Nancy Drew series. Thank you.

I, too, really appreciate MaG. She is right there to help even when the game is brand new. And when I cant seem to get into a game and want to just forget it, I look through her walkthroughs and it encourages me to continue and give the game a chance. You are the best MaG.

MaG is the first person I run to when I am in trouble and I have been in trouble many, many times..She brings order to Chaos.. I know when I start a new game and I get stuck, MaG will be there for you to get you out of the mudd..
She is as important as the game itself..Bless her heart..
Thank you MaG from the bottom of my heart..Hugs Liz

Hi Becky! Yes, of course I know that they are the same person. I was curious about the reason for the name differences. I know one is used for her Walkthrough pen name, but what does it mean? What is the "tRo" that is added on the walkthroughs? If I signed some posts "Dadguy" and some "DadguyHjT", you might ask a similar question. I am just curious.  Dadguy

Ahh Mag Mag... what would I have done without you? My PC would probably fly through the window from my frustration! As much as I love these adventure games, when you get stuck in them... boy can it get to you! Good thing we have Mag. She's like an anti-frustration medication! And I hope I'll never run out of it. I have no idea how you manage to figure out all these games out. Some of them are made with such lack of logic and yet you still manage to find the unlogic solution to them. It's a pretty amazing gift god has given you. You're a very intelligent person. I wonder what's your IQ. We all love you here Mag, and we thank you for your hard work. And don't you even dare hint that you're ever gonna leave GB! We're not gonna let you! You're stuck here forever and ever!! All the love in the world, Alon.

Got to my add my thanks to this thread as well. I would never have gotten through so many adventure games without Mags walkthroughs. Nothing worse that getting so frustrated you want to just quit and give up on a game. Nothing enjoyable about that. Also would like to add that without Gameboomers and all its wonderfual staff and people here on the forum I would be really lost forever. No other site quite like it! Thank you to everyone here at Gameboomers. You are all just great! This is the very first place I look for game information and help. I haven't found another site quite up to parr with this one. Always thankfull for the help and encouragement to carry on and finish a game. Happy Holiday season to all.

Everyone has already said great things about MaG that are true, and I agree 200%! She's a miracle worker. She always knows just the right thing to tell you when you ask for help and sure enough, it always works. She has saved me many times from giving up on so many games. What I can't figure out, is how does she know just what to tell you and where to go out of thousands of games? It's like she's got this little magical box with all the answers in it.  Thanks MaG....
