I have enjoyed all of the League of Light games.

Tonight I have finished Episode 15 of Artifact Seekers. There is no release date set for Episode 16 that I can find. My couple is ahead with the most stars. Steam shows I have almost 170 hours played in this game and somehow I still have half of the coins they give you for hints and skips. I only used them one time for a skip earlier on in the game. I never paid for any but I did look at some guides/videos here and there.

Now to figure out what to play!

You really did well with this, ob!

I finished another Gaslamp Cases game a couple of days ago: The Haunting of Fogley Manor.

I went to click on my Laruaville icon and accidentally clicked The Secret of Arcanesium: A Mosaic Mystery so I have started that even though I am also playing Rainbow Mosaics: Blooming Garden. It's interesting so far.

Glad to hear it. A nice surprise!

I just looked up Arcanesium on Big Fish.

Hi Everyone,

Since being a Big Fish member for over 12 years, I have hundreds of games played and replayed several times. Especially liked the New York Mysteries, Never tales, Royal Detective and House of 1000 Doors just to name a few.

However to me Big Fish is not offering the great adventure games they used to. I check daily to see if there is another great game to purchase, but only find either remastered or unintelligent boring bordering on childish games. Not sure why the developers choose to remaster a game instead of putting all their talents into a new interesting game.

From the posts I have read, doesn’t seem like any great changes back to the wonderful games in the past will happen anytime soon. Unfortunately, I have cancelled my membership today and will need to find another website that offers better adventure games at reasonable pricing. Am open to any suggestions anyone has.

Back in 2022, I played Shaolin Mystery 2: Revenge of the Terracotta Warriors. Since I normally play series games in order, that must be when I also tried to play Shaolin Mystery 1: Tale of the Jade Dragon Staff on both Win 7 and Win 10 but the game required Flash (at least that's what I noted on my game sheet) and would not play. Something I bought recently and installed (which I think was the Arcanesium game even though that game is not very old) asked if I wanted to install Adobe Air (I think). I said yes and the Shaolin game came to my mind to try to play. Guess what? It plays now in my Win 10 computer so that is what I am playing. I've only played a half hour so far but Yay!

Hi spankie, sorry I missed your post. Good to see you here. Unfortunately new HOPAs now are few and far between except for those of Do/Domini Games and 5 BN. Honestly, if HOPAs are what you are looking for, I would suggest Steam or Google Play. They seem to get a few games of this type that Big Fish does not (or at least they get them sooner than Big Fish does). I have heard that Big Fish Games Entertainment plans on developing some HOPAs in the future but that will be dependent on a variety of factors, I imagine. Next up is the Remastered version of Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove; that is coming soon, probably next month. As for older adventure games, I have quite a few from GOG, and would recommend them as well. Otherwise, most of the HOPA developers have defected to mobile games, as that is more profitable apparently than the PC market.

Ob, that is very interesting news about Adobe Air. I know there are ways to get some of these old Flash games working on newer systems but thus far I have not tried any of them. Yay that you are able to play the game!

I have started Dark Heritage: Guardians of Hope CE.

I am enjoying the Shaolin game, getting close to the end. I did have one "access violation code" crash to desktop but when I went back in the game, thankfully, it was fine.

I have played Dark Heritage but I don't remember anything much about it.

Ugh. I have one game that keeps giving me an access violation code even when I go back into the game and try again - it still crashes in the same spot. Glad you were able to make it through. The only thing worse is a black screen. Neither give you any idea as to what could be the problem.

Dark Heritage has an introduction that involves full motion video/live actors, which was a surprise. A nice surprise. Game so far seems enjoyable.

What game is it that keeps giving you the access violation code?

Enjoy Dark Heritage. I'll have to take a better look at it to see if I can refresh my memory a bit.

It is a game that I have played before all the way through with no problems. And both times I was using Windows 7, which makes it all the more puzzling. It is Spirit of Revenge: Cursed Castle CE.

Hm. I haven't played that one yet but I have it installed on my Win 10 computer. I'm going to make a note on my sheet though I'm not sure when I'll play the game.

You probably won't have any problems with it, but no harm in making a note of it.

I finished Shaolin Mystery: Tale of the Jade Dragon Staff. It was a nice, peaceful game that I enjoyed, although for some reason, I need to use the hint button two times near the end. Brain fog, I guess. (I don't see the game on Big Fish anymore.)

I may start Spirit of Revenge: Cursed Castle to see if I make it through or I may start Halloween Stories: Mark on the Bone. Not sure yet.

I also finished Lauraville 2 and have put StarL 5 on my desktop for next but maybe I should play one of the many different Halloween themed Match 3's that I have. I'm very indecisive at the moment.

I have also been feeling very indecisive the last few days. I keep thinking I am going to be starting something new and then I just end up playing a few levels of a match 3.

I have Tale of the Jade Dragon Staff. I played it when it first came out and remember it as being a nice game. I see that Big Fish still has the other Shaolin Mystery game; I don't have that one.

Congrats on finishing Laruaville 2.
