So, you don't eat dessert first, huh? Lol! Go ahead and have your spinach, m, Lost Horizon will be all the sweeter after that!

Mad, sorry I'm late replying to your post! I really need to check this part of the forum more often. No, unfortunately I haven't played Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. That game and The Dig are two older Lucas Arts games I want to pick up someday, as I've heard good things about them. I've only now started collecting the Broken Sword series, so I'll get to the old ones I missed eventually.  I was more of a Sierra fan in general (though I loved Lucas Arts, too) so I have more of their games all in all. But even with their games, I don't have any Leisure Suit Larrys or Police Quests. Ah, you guys don't know what you're talking about! The Longest Journey is one of the greatest games of all time, and everyone should know this. (Only kidding, I know everyone has different tastes.  I mean, I don't like coconut, and a lot of people thing I'm strange.  )

Lotus, maybe there's something to that. Glad to hear your copy arrived! Hope you enjoy it! How are the timed elements in Still Life 2? Are they very difficult? I have that game, but I haven't gotten to it yet. Still have so many games I need to get to.

Mad, that's the best way to be, I think.  Did you also enjoy The Longest Journey? Oh, I love Lucas Arts, too! Grim Fandango is one of my favorite games of all time. Still very interested in the Lucas Arts games I missed. I always envy those who enjoy solitary first person as well as inventory based third person. Twice the adventure to enjoy. Of course, then it would be twice as expensive, too.

I myself am in the middle of playing the game. I am enjoying the heck out of it. I love the "Movie" feel to it. Even my kids were watching me play and trying to guess at which crazy inventory items to use and mix. I have been laughing my rear off at the silly inventory uses and watching with anticipation the cutscenes. The scenery is beautiful and the dialogue fresh and spicy. I am taking my time clicking on things just to hear the comments. This one may become one of my favorites!! Oh and I also enjoyed the longest journey too. But , I love story driven games. Its just my own preference. I am waiting to order Dark Star as well. I love cheeesy sci-fi stuff. Should be fun to watch and play. Then again I will play almost any adventure game some good some not so good. I do like playing games I enjoy though. This ones a keeper and will probably replay it several times.
OK Correction , I finished the game and it is definitely going down as one of my favorites!! Loved everything about it. Will definitely play it again!!

Mad, I envy you and don't envy you at the same time. Lotus, now I'm the late one who missed your post.  Sorry about that!  Thanks for the Still Life 2 info. I'm probably going to play it through with a walkthrough just to see the story. I won it in a Gameboomers contest (which I was thrilled about, since my fiance had been wanting the game so badly  ), so I definitely intend to persevere with it at some point. I have a collection of games I have to get through, and it's among them. Fiance just likes to play games with me after I finish them anyway, so he doesn't have to solved the puzzles himself.  The original Still Life is one of his favorites. Glad you enjoyed Lost Horizon so much anyway! Mgriffith, I also favor story driven games, which is why TLJ is one of my favorites. And Lost Horizon is way up there, too. Glad you enjoyed it so much.
