I did try Quern. Very Myst-like, beautiful, alien-feeling, etc. ~ so I enjoyed the first half of it. I did get tired of the repetitive, tedious mixing of potions everywhere I went, though. I decided to take a break from it, and then I never went back. I guess I like a bit more variety in my mini-games.

I'm sorry you got tired of Quern Reenie. I don't remember it feeling like a potion mixing game but to each his own. Well, I tried installing A Gypsy's Tale to Win 7 and it DOES require Adobe Flash so I will not be playing it there. I guess I can continue to try to play it in my small window in Win10. I wonder why it works there and if it will continue to work there. Everyday I do this in regard to uninstalling Flash. I never in a million years thought it was going to affect some of my Big Fish games.

I just found this page on Big Fish's technical support section regarding the discontinuation of Flash Player. I find this sentence particularly interesting: Please Note: This only affects the 'Online Games' section of Big Fish Games and any of our downloadable PC or Mac games are not affected.

Marian, that shows it was updated 10 hours ago. I wonder if something has changed?? If not, then they are lying, I will give it another try later when I boot up my Windows 7 though to check it out. I had previously found this article from 3 months ago (which is after Flash support ended) https://www.bigfishgames.com/game/b...install-Adobe-Flash-Shockwave-Computer-/Maybe I shouldn't say "lying" but it is misleading if a person has uninstalled Flash and tries to install/re-install a game that uses it.

I just wish I hadn't uninstalled it. I usually don't listen to that kind of stuff. I only thought of games like Samarost and I did post something on the glitches board about that.
Here's the weird thing Marian. That link you posted to keeps saying update such and such hours ago. It is down to one now so maybe it will stop saying that soon. I saw it at five and at two. Doesn't appear to be updated to me in any way. y with I did not retry the game in Win 7 but did try Dream Chronicles in Win 10 and too much weird stuff came up that I did not accept and instead uninstalled the game. It would not fully install or play without Flash.
I'm still enjoying A Gypsy Tale though even in small screen.
I have Mystery Case Files: Shadow Lake on disc. If I remember and feel ambitious at some point I may test it out.

I just finished A Gypsy Tale. Was there ever a follow up game?
Marian, I know both you and Jenny liked Curse at Twilight: Thief of Souls which I believe is by the same people as A Gypsy Tale. I do not have the game but had been thinking of getting it. Do you (or does anybody else) know if it uses Flash Player or have any other problems? Hm, I guess I should go look in the BF forum too.
(Added) Looks like it has screen size issues too.

I've just started "Faircroft's Antiques : The Heir of Glen Kinnoch (Collector's Edition)". From the gameplay, it looks like an older game but I am quite liking it. And I see there are two more in the series so if I enjoy this one I might get those as well

Well, phooey !! Since I last posted about this game it has crashed many times, and when I went looking for help at Big Fish I was just directed to a huge list of "technical" things to try - which I'm not prepared to do. So I guess it will just have to be a case of "moving on" !! Not good

I tried Faircroft's Antiques and didn't really care for it - too cutesy. Didn't get far enough into it to experience any glitches.
I have enjoyed other games from BoomZap (but don't remember what they were.)
