Is Balmoral Software no more? They had some excellent walkthroughs for older games. Jema

Doesn't THIS site have some of the same Walkthroughs and many more?

Walkthroughs for the same games, maybe, but does ***this*** look like ***this*** to you? At least some of the Balmoral walkthroughs are done really well and aren't found elsewhere. But even if there were some website with every walkthrough ever made, it wouldn't replace Balmoral. Balmoral was the first site I found with walkthroughs for the games I was playing. And that it's no longer there means that someone who was once a devoted fan has now given up on adventure games, which is something else to be depressed about.

Jenny100, I agree with everything you said 100%.
Their closing must be a relatively recent happening because it wasn't too long ago that I visited their website to see if they had a walkthrough for an older game I was thinking of buying.

I also have many memories of the site and have used it often over the years. Seeing sites like this disappear is kind of like losing an old friend.

Thanks for the wonderful news, Jenny. I've still been getting it via the archive URL, but it's great to know it's "live" again.

What a great site and Jenny100 the walkthrough for Shivers is fantastic. I remember this site now but had let it slip away. Now I have it bookmarked.
