Got this with the "Donor" code I recently won and just started playing it. And I have to say it's looking pretty good ![bravo bravo](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/bravo.gif)

Good to know, Mad! I see this game came out in 2013 and I don't think I ever tried the demo when it was released. Will do so. The Gatsby game that I do have in my Purchase History is this one. It is pretty much a straight hidden object game, but at the time I remember playing it twice as it was nicely done. I hope you enjoy the rest of the game.

Have to change my comments as after getting quite a good way into the game, it became unstable and was constantly crashing to desktop So I contacted Big Fish - who replied immediately and gave me a code for a replacement game of my choice ![happydance happydance](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/happydance.gif) How good is that for customer service ???? ![dance dance](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/dance.gif)

Well now I wish perhaps I had gone for the other Gatsby game because this newest Haunted Hotel game is really, really dreadful - in my opinion, anyway. It is nothing like the others in the series and very annoyingly, is absolutely inundated with collectables etc. So boxes relating to them are continually appearing on screen. I am very disappointed EDIT : Now I'm playing Legacy Tales : Mercy of the Gallows and IT is great !! Exactly the type of Casual I like

Hi oldbroad and Marian ![smile smile](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif) Yes, the Legacy Tales game is very much my cup of tea so I'm really enjoying it ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/ThumbsUp.gif) And, of course, I totally agree that everyone will not like everything However, I was really astonished that this latest Haunted Hotel was so different to all the others in the series - and I've played many of them !! ![duh duh](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/duh.gif)

I finished The Great Gatsby: Secret Treasure game yesterday and liked it quite a bit. I played it in Windows 10 and it was a bit glitchy at times but I managed to make it through the game. I had one crash to desktop, HO's that were behind something (kind of an extension of the place where the hint button is, not behind another item) where I couldn't see them that I finally figured out I could just click around and get the item at some point, and a missing cursor in one scene that had me opening the task manager to close the game.
One other thing I found was that moving around too fast caused some problems and I read in the BF Forum something about not doing some things at the right time or right order (not exactly sure) caused some problems. I think it was, if the game clued you to go somewhere but you tried to go somewhere else, you might have a crash or something.
I've got that Legacy Tales game Mad mentioned in this thread that she said "is great" downloaded. Maybe that will be next. Not sure yet.

I have 4 of those games Marian and the other 2 on my "to buy someday list". I haven't played any of them yet.
If you do get The Great Gatsby, I hope you will be able to play it. I added another paragraph to my other post also.
I saw that sale at Big Fish and thought it was interesting also. I didn't look to see if I have all the games or not but for non-members the discount is only 45% off.

I can't remember if I've already played Twilight Phenomena: Strange Menagerie (which I do have) but will probably play it (or re-play it) soon. However today, I started the other from the series - The Incredible Show - and am hoping to enjoy it as much as I did The Lodgers of House 13 ![dance dance](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/dance.gif)
