PLEASE Is there anyone who knows were I can find a place to get a hold on the game called The Five Cores . I've been searching the web for this "free"(I belive) game. The links from the original place "neebla games" is gone. I was stupid enough not to get it when it came out. After that I totally forgot about it. Cheers

It's no longer on Steam or anywhere else and Neebla is gone. I did find the creator on FaceBook and sent him a message but since he only has 7 friends on FB I am going to guess he doesn't check it often. I'll let you know if he answers me. Ana

colpet I know from the past that we share the same thoughts, when it comes to our favourite Adv games As a last resort, do you think it would be possible in some way for me to get a copy Cheers

It's too big to send, you'd have to place it in a drop box. THere are some free ones out there.

If only I knew what a "drop box" is, Ana. LOL
I just googled Dropbox and found info about it. I'm not going to go there, however. I just don't trust "free". Sorry, Lagavulin. Ana, I thank you so much for the suggestion. Sandy

You can SAFELY use Drop Box - also - if you have a GMAIL account, which you really should also have, then you can use Google Drive - to upload 15 gigs worth of files to !! If you install the Chrome Browser, also a "must look into", then you can upload not only 15 gigs worth of files, but you can upload a folder containing files !! Way cool and SAFE.
You do all this as a PRIVATE file storage - and/or SHARE an upload with someone who can download from your "SHARED" files !! COOL ??
Just my 2 cents :>)
It's not the years honey, it's the mileage!

Yes SirDave ! Now that you mentioned it, I do remember that I had similar issues with the install but more than that - the game came no where near my expectations.. in fact, I too never got past the first hour or two of game play and abandoned it! It was a very tedious experience as I remember.
I didn't even keep game files on my PC - if I did, I would have been glad to make available.
It's not the years honey, it's the mileage!

I should have checked earlier, so I apologize, but this was not a free game when it was released so sharing the game files is not acceptable. Once again, I should not have relied on the info in the first post that hinted at free and I am sorry.

Thank you Tigre! I didn't realize either - just assumed it was free ! It only lasted 1 hour on my PC anyway - not memorably either --

I must have been lucky as I don't remember any technical issues. I enjoyed the game's 3D exploration. The puzzles were a mixed bag, but in general it satisfied my Myst game craving. There are so few these days, I've pretty much stopped playing adventures all together. I've had Ether One installed for a while now. The exploration is good, but the puzzles are lacking. It's not really caught my attention so far. I've been replaying my old puzzle/adventure games recently -- Shivers, Jewels of the Oracle, Gems of Darkness, and I just started 9: The Last Resort. Playing on Windows 3.1 installed inside DOSBox -- except for Gems of Darkness, where I used the version sold by the "1click" guy on eBay (I had trouble installing the version of QuickTime that game used). After that there are games like Connections, Shivers 2, Milo, and RAMA, which also work with Windows 3.1 or, in the case of RAMA, DOS. Most of my puzzle/adventure games require a minimum of Windows 95 though, so I'll have to switch to one of my old computers if I want to play those. I might also try the recently released ***Lumino City*** game, though it looks more similar to an Incredible Machine type game than a Shivers type.

Jenny I posted in the Lumino city thread here. I just finished it and it is not at all an Incredible machine type game. It is very much a point a click adventure that is very puzzle heavy. I used the WT once for a binary puzzle that stumped me but other than that it was just pure awesomeness!

That's what I've been doing too, Jenny - thus far my choices have been Hodj n Podj (a puzzle game) and Dust: A Tale of the Wired West. Playing them on Windows 3.1 installed inside DOSBox. And playing Shivers in Virtual PC.

I worry sometimes that I've developed less of an attention span over the years of playing casual games. I played the new Tex Murphy game this year, in my usual manner with color coded notes, diagrams and descriptions. But sometimes I just want to get to the puzzling without the interruption of detailing the story and progress. I read the AG review of Lumeno City and it did remind me of the Machinarium games. I'll probably give it a try.

I worry sometimes that I've developed less of an attention span over the years of playing casual games. I know what you mean. I think it's a form of burnout -- less patience with the parts of games you don't enjoy. The casual adventures allow you to skip past conversations and "story elements" and get on with the puzzling. And then the "type" of puzzles you encounter in casual games are often more enjoyable than the limited types you find in most current adventure games. Some of us enjoy "door puzzles" and "abstract puzzles" and "mechanical puzzles" and don't much care if they have anything to do with the "story" or not. And if the "story" is some hokey variation on a theme we've seen 16,000 times before, we'd rather have as little to do with it as possible. The first adventure games I played were 1st person puzzle-oriented games where any "character interaction" was limited to a handful of cut scenes. So the first time I encountered a game with dialogue (in my case, it was Titanic: Adventure Out of Time), it was a novelty to be able to interact with other characters and have conversations with them. But by 2014, conversations have long since ceased to be a novelty, and in some cases they comprise the bulk of the game. At some point the experience changes from "me playing the game" to "the game playing me" -- telling me where to go and what I can and can't do rather than me exploring and figuring out what to do on my own. At that point, I want to leave and go somewhere else.

The Five Cores can now be purchased for digital download at www.desura.com . Price seems good. I've purchased a number of games from Desura and have not had an issue for what it's worth... The Five Cores

Great news, then I will get the game "again" and make it "all legal" As for the game itself it played with no problems at all on my Win 7, though it was patched with the first patch of two available. It was a short but good "Myst isch" substitute. Cheers
