Glad to hear how much you enjoyed Curse of the Crimson Shadow!

I am still playing MCF: The Revenant's Hunt. I've been stuck on a puzzle for two days. If I can't get it today, I will use the guide (if it has steps) or just skip it. I suppose it doesn't fit the MCF *criteria* regarding puzzles but I like the ones that I've encountered so far, even the one I'm stuck in.

I played that game some time ago, oldbroad, but I don't remember any details (to help you) sorry !!

[I actually don't remember much about any Casual games I've played, even only days after I've finished them redface]

Thanks for the "good luck" Marian! I solved it and finished the main game. Still have the bonus game to play.

I haven't yet come across anything spectacularly different in this game compared to any other new-ish Casuals, but am still enjoying it and I think you will too, Marian, when you can get round to playing it 😉

I am presently replaying the Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince CE, although it might as well be for the first time as I don't remember much of anything about it. It looks like I first played it about 10 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long.

I started Halloween Stories Horror Movie several days ago. I played the first movie but haven't gotten back to the game as I've been doing some other stuff. I think today will be the day to go back to it though.

I haven't played any of the Dark Parables games yet but look forward to doing so some darn day! I have the first 4 of them on disc.

10 years ??

I can't remember details of stuff I've played after 10 days lol

[I have several Dark Parable games. Have to check if I've got this one :)]

EDIT :

Yes. I have Eight Dark Parables and The Exiled Prince is one of them smile

I finished Halloween Stories: Horror Movie tonight. I thought it was fairly good. I liked all of the puzzles except the last one in the main game which I had to skip because it was a mouse masher (click, click, click until the meter rises). I cannot do all that clicking. The main game is divided up into 3 different stories that loosely tie together into 1 story. I think I spent more time on the bonus game than on each individual story.

I'm in the "unlimited HO bonus section" of the Amazing Adventures Forgotten Dynasty game (HOG). These games are okay but you do repeat the same scenes many times so if you don't like the scenes you won't like the game. Also, some of the in-between games repeat which I find weird.

Not sure yet what's up next but will let you know when I figure it out.

Sounds good, oldbroad. I will have to give Horror Movie a try. And I do remember how those Amazing Adventures played.

I just finished the main game of Dark Parables: The Exiled Prince yesterday and will start the bonus game today. It's a lovely game but you better be in the mood for fragmented hidden object scenes because there are an awful lot of them and towards the end of the main game I will admit that I was getting pretty burned out on them. I can't fault the actual game, though. It is done very well in all aspects.

Started Gothic Fiction : Dark Saga CE today and despite the rather vast quantities of "smoke" am really liking it 😬

I just finished Botanica 2: Earthbound and enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked it better than the first game.

Oldbroad, I am a little stuck on level 56 of Caribbean Hideaway but still enjoying it: some of the levels get a bit manic as you are playing against the clock to clear a screen and/or attain particular objectives!

I tend to play computer games in fits and starts, so it often takes me several months to complete a game of any substance.

From what hagatha said, it sounds as if I am not more than about half way... smile

Mad, Gothic Fiction feels an awful lot like a regular adventure game. yes

I think Caribbean Hideaway has 100 levels? I should know by now - I have played and finished it maybe five times now.

Good to know about the second Botanica game, oldbroad.

I started the Wanderlust: What Lies Beneath CE yesterday. I am done with the main game and will start the bonus game today. I quite enjoyed the main game.

I'm nearing the end of a replay of Echoes of the Past: The Citadels of Time. This is such a huge game and so textural and full of novelties and unusual puzzles that I am already feeling sad that it will end soon. It is a LOOOONG game and very complex, so much to explore, figure out and determine how to solve. In that sense, it feels like a "real" computer game of the 80's, where you were on your own and your only recourse was to belong to a gaming group that shared hints and tips.

My only gripe with it is that there is no Map, and you really NEED one. Sometimes, you exit a scene by going left when the location makes no sense given what you have just seen on the other side of that wall. Very confusing. I've got three sheets of blank paper covered with attempts at mapping and what I've found in each location, but still I struggle to figure out where to go to find that room with the Guillotine. Another small quibble: the items in the HO scenes can be very tiny, indeed.

As far as I know, there are 8 games in this series. I haven't played all of them. One was buggy from the start, a second was incompatible with Win10 and a third was such a letdown that I bailed from it halfway through the Demo. But this one and Revenge of the Witch were stellar. Wolf Healer was good, too, and I plan to replay it as well. I like my games puzzle-rich, without timed scenes.

Yes, Lex. I know about being stuck on some of those levels. lol I'm glad you are still enjoying it!

I have Gothic Fiction downloaded on my Win 7 so maybe I will bump it into playing position when I am back on that computer.

I haven't played any of the Wanderlust games yet.

My next HOG is going to be Faircroft's Antiques: The Heir of Glen Kinnoch. I'm still deciding between a couple of HOPA's.

Beyond: Star Descendant
Ghost Files: Memory of a Crime
Gothic Fiction: Dark Saga
Paranormal Files: Ghost Chapter
Whispered Secrets: Ripple of the Heart
