I just loaded the 2006 game, Safecracker. This is one of my favorite games of all, being totally about solving puzzles and not much else. And they are delightfully pesky, too, so just my cuppa. I have to say, though, that it was a real challenge to get it running. First, we only had a black screen. Then we got the game started but it was flashing horribly ~ unplayable! My faithful IT hubby stepped in, noodled around on line until he found a forum where geeks were talking about just my problems and how to fix them. It was quite a snarl. Half an hour later, he finally got it working and all I had to do was crank down the sound level and start in on the solving. I am SO tickled to be playing this game again. I've already got most of the ground floor of the mansion opened up, and the rooms are full of puzzles.

I moved the game icon (Safecracker) into "play" position on my desktop. Now, let's see if that happens . Have fun you two! I finished Dying for Daylight and am mostly finished with my 2 straight HOG games. Haven't started any new casual yet though. Soon.

I just finished The Hero of The Kingdom series. It's one of my favorites.

Well, I am finding "Strange Investigations: Becoming" has quite a few puzzles that haven't particularly appealed to me so I'm having a break from it and am tinkering with Adam Wolfe - which I've had for eons and never touched. But I'm not sure whether I will like it or not, yet

So far, Marian, I am enjoying it immensely !! I'm playing on the easy setting as I didn't know what to expect. And I think that was the right one for me to choose because I can get gentle nudges as to the right thing to do or direction to go And I like this "comic book" style too If the game continues in this vein, and doesn't suddenly turn difficult, I think I will be a really Happy Bunny

Still enjoying myself with Adam Wolfe - although I did have a scary moment. In the middle of a battle with a "supernatural" force, all the graphics suddenly went mad and jumbled .... "not playable" .... so I couldn't see what I was doing I did manage to get out of the game alright so I shut down my machine (in case the fault was with my computer and not the game) and re-booted. And when the game re-started it was fine - but in a different scene So I went to YouTube to see what I might have missed and discovered I'd missed all of two whole minutes at the most !! I don't know what the heck happened but it's been playing fine since and I LIKE it

Hi Marian and Reenie I don't mind gruesome if the story warrants it. And have played several games of a gruesome nature in my time !! But I DO mind if a game doesn't behave well enough - so hopefully there won't be any more hiccups with this one. Especially when I feel it's good
