On the "up" side .... Because I can forget lots about a game I've played, it can be like playing a new one if I re-play it !!

Two years ???? A few weeks is enough for me to forget stuff - in games, that is Otherwise my memory is decent and completely normal. So maybe I suffer from a form of "selective amnesia" in my gaming world ?? EDIT : I'm on my next game now. Another I haven't played before. And am liking it much more. It's "Hidden Expedition : Dawn of Prosperity"

I seemed to find they increased as the game progressed, oldbroad. Though maybe not all as "bog standard" hidden Object scenes. Or I suppose it it could just have been me not wanting as many ??

Thanks, Marian I had actually played some of the others before getting The Golden Age and certainly like them more. But it's a very fortunate person who is enthralled by EVERY game they purchase

I've certainly never been enthralled by every game I purchase. That's for sure. I do take the time to play the Demo on almost every game, and have weeded out a lot on that basis. Still, they are "Casuals," and one wonders if the attitude toward their creation is also casual. Many are only tolerable and a few got some pretty snarky comments in my little database. ha ha But I love them, nevertheless. They suit my erratic playing style, and I've been hooked on them these past ten years or so. I tend to wait for sales, when I'll buy in twos or fours, so I think their cost is fair, given they tend to last 6 to 10 hours, and that is far longer than going to the movies. The really good ones, I replay as well.

I've certainly never been enthralled by every game I purchase. Now that I think about it, there was a period of time where every game purchased was enthralling, and it was the last quarter of 1995: Phantasmagoria, Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within, Stonekeep, Torin's Passage, Shivers, and Shannara. Wow! Yes. I agree about that period, Marian. Fabulous games all !!!!

Well, I just finished this and didn't find too many HO scenes and the ones that were in it were quite good anyway (not regular stuff). I did end up skipping the last mini puzzle of the main game. I really should have got out of the game as it was about 1:30 am and I was just too tired to deal with it then. I usually will use the guide rather than skip a puzzle but I got frustrated and mashed on the skip button over and over (like clicking it once wasn't enough ). Anyway though, the guide did not work properly showing only one page and no way I could figure out how to turn the page. I also had a problem with the bonus chapter in that the game ended very abruptly before I did everything. So, I Googled and found a YouTube video to watch the end. Sure enough there was an item in inventory that I did not have that was supposed to eat tree bugs. When I cut the guy/goblin/whatever down from the tree, the game ended and I had not gotten rid of those bugs. Even in the walkthrough video, the ending was quite abrupt. Oh well. On to something else .
