Magicama and what do you think of it
I know some of you have been posting at Mulawa but I hope those who haven't are enjoying it

I've been wondering the same thing Bea. I'm glad you asked that question.

Ana

I don't know what it is but I just can't get into his games And I have tried several times and I love puzzles,It must be me I really wish I could get into them!

Hi, I bought the game for my Mom for her 89th. birthday. I haven't played it only installed it for her. She can't seem to figure out the puzzles, I guess it's to hard for her.She still works the jigsaw puzzles every day. When I have time I'll maybe get the game from her and try it. I know I sure liked Peters other 2 games. Diane

I'm on my third time through it. I love it! (Except for the billiards game. I REALLY could have done without that!)

I'm one of those playing Magicama and posting at the Mulawa forum where everybody is helping me a lot. I'm not that good at puzzles, but I'm finding Peter's take on the "tasks" as he calls them to be so orginal and interesting that I just keep on going as best as I can just to see what will come up next. I'm now on 21 of 30 tasks so I'm definitely making progress of sorts. It's a new kind of challenge and I'm really enjoying it more than I expected. Maybe I am now hooked on it? Could be!

Hi Sami5901, absolutely brilliant your Mum on the computer and doing the jigsaws. Hope she has many many more years of keeping her mind active and enjoying herself like this - give her my very best wishes

Yes I hope I will still be doing them at her age. I really think the computers keep the minds working. I will give her your wishes. Diane

Sue,

I hope you've tried the Magicama demo because I've really tried hard to reach the folk who like puzzles but didn't take to Xiama or Magnetic. One of the features of Magicama is that "I'm" there all the time - just click on me for really helpful pointers as to how to proceed.

Peter

Peter's games are brilliant.... too bad I'm not.
Xiama was such a terrific game, I often still go there just to look at the scenery and clever games but they are all just too hard for me. I always thought I was a smart person until I started playing these adventure games.

Hi all, I have to say that I loved all of Peter's games and 'yes' he is very cryptic about HOW to solve his puzzles. I think he sees that as part of the puzzle. I finished Magicama and had to ask help on a few of them. I should say Thank you to Tally Ho and Faelor...hugs!!!!

So? If you are having a problem, why have you not gone to Peter's website and asked for help? There are plenty of us who have played this through and won it and know how to solve the puzzles. Come ask.

I use a walkthrough for just about every game I've ever played but there wasn't one for Peter's yet. That meant that I had to ask from those who went before me. You can too.

Mindy and Wysewomon have been fun to talk with and have helped me as much I helped them. Thanks guys

Some of the games look tough but they are not. I had a fit over the Yahtze game but once I figured out how to play it, it became one of my favorites. Heck, it plays like yahtze....everyone knows how to play that. And there's Mastermind, Pentagrams, Sudoku, Chips's challenge type game...lots of different kinds. I'm willing to help. Just come on over and ask Or ask Wysewomon or SierraMindy

Hi Burpee,
Actually, not everybody knows how to play Yahtzee. All I know about it is the title! I did get the first 40 points in the Colour Yahtzee task though, so maybe I will be able to figure it out as I go along. Or not. One great thing about Magicama is that you can try a lot of things and click on everything without getting killed.

I did go there. Several times. No one answered me except Peter and his answers were too cryptic to be of any help to me.

NYLady, I'll be happy to help you if you need it. I helped Peter test the game and have played it in it's entirety at least 15+ times. I think I have it downpat by now.

Ana

Wow NYLady, I don't recall seeing you there. Are you NYLady? I have been there multiple times a day since I started playing. I sure feel bad that you got missed somehow. Think I'll go look for your posts and try to figure it out. Very sorry hon.

Gosh, don't see you anywhere. Would be strange if your posts got deleted somehow? I promise to help as every who knows me knows I am happy to.

No, I'm only NYLady here. I don't remember what my signin was but it probably started with Barbee which has been my online nick since 1990.

Ana, I'll take you up on that offer. I'll try the game again. But is there a solution to why when I complete a game it doesn't show in the book after I turn off the game?

I don't want to sell Peter short in any way, he is the nicest man. He ALWAYS answered me and gave me the biggest hints... I just didn't get it. Not his fault. Mine! Poor Ana has no clue what's in store for her to help me.

Any posts by me on that website would have been maybe in Jan. or Feb.

I think NYLady is talking about Xiama.

NYLady,

I think you'll find Magicama a more satisfying experience - I've taken careful note of the issues folk had with my earlier games and have tried to address them. And with Ana and Burpee to help you can't miss!

Peter

Ooooohhh...Xiama. Did Tally Ho write a walkthrough for Xiama or was that just Magnetic?

I really enjoyed Xiama but certain games, like the kaleidoscope and the last turtle I had to go to Peter's cheat page, lol. I could not have finished the game without it. If you have not seen it, it can be found here:
http://www.mulawa.net/xiama/hints.html

There was a walkthrough done for Xiama bcause I know I referred to it

I wonder if there is going to be a walkthrough for Magicama? Mother just can't figure out how to do the puzzles and I'm hoping with a walkthrough she will figure it out. I didn't mean to bring any fustration into her life but she is totally fustrated. I wish I had the time to see if I could help her but I just don't have the time right now. Diane

All your mom need to do is click on the picture of Peter in the bottom task bar. It will give a hint on what to do. If she is still stuck she can go to Peters forum or post in Hints here and get help. A walkthrough would only be able to give solutions since there isn't really any clues to provide other than what the in game hint system provides.

I suppose a walkthrough with answers can be written, but it would really spoil the whole experience.

Does your mom know if she gets past just one of the tasks in any of the locations (which can be accomplished by clicking on Peter) she can move on to another location for a new task?

Ana

I'm guessing this game is to hard for her to do. I'll tell her to just put it aside until I can take a look at it. Thanks Diane

I'm sorry Diane....
