Since I knew BFG wasn't going to get this I waited and bought the CD version when it first came out.

For those that didn't, I only want to say the game was wonderful. Anytime I will spend $20 for a casual game I have to really like it.

Hugs,
Linda wave

P.S. Hey Ana, did you miss me these past 7 months? I have been dieting and spending way too much time over at SparkPeople but it was time well spent, 62 lbs gone! But I must say I am glad to be back and look forward to playing around again happydance

I like it and will buy it... but since I bought 3 credits this week, I'll wait til next week.

The graphics could be a bit sharper though, but it is interactive and so I will buy it.

Of course any game will pale after RTR, now wouldn't they?

NYLady, I liked the "escape the room" part of the game so much that I just had to buy the CD when it came out. I just don't like dealing with RealArcade and/or iWin because of the extra software.

Funny because now BFG also uses the game manager but I guess I just like BFG more.

I can't blame you on wanting to wait until next week. Those credits can really add up.

Thank you Marian! I am happy! And I feel really good. I mainly do a lot of walking for my exercise. Heart conditions run high in my family so I am trying to prevent heart attack and/or stroke and definitely trying to avoid all the medications.
Who woulda thunk it?! I like fruit and veggies now!

I hear there will be a sequel to Neptune's Secret! It must be close to a year now so maybe another Christmas surprise is coming? One can only hope.

How many of the search screens are "underwater" greenish/bluish screens in this game?

Hi Jenny100 I'm about 3/4 of the way through and so far all the scenes appear as if you're just in a room. although there are fish swimming in and out. No greenish screens. This game is ok but I prefer games with all the objects shown, not just silouettes of the objects.

In the demo the first screens were above water and normal-looking. But as soon as she went in the water with her diver's outfit, all the screens were greenish/bluish underwater scenes -- like in the screenshots at Big Fish.

exalthim2, you might need to update adobe flash and adobe *something else* for the screens to look right.

I recently couldn't replay The Scruffs and that is what I was told. While I had my doubts I updated them both and voila! the game was playing again! If you go to the Adobe page you will find both of them.

It's a good game, but does anyone know how long it is? I just got past the point where I picked up all the index cards, I think it's the library, and my demo ran out.

I'm liking the game, but if it's really short I'd rather keep my credit for something with more play time.

Hey Jenny, yeah, most of the scenes are like that. Blue-ish underwater. A little hard to make out some of the items but not that difficult. It's a fun game though.

Thanks, Misa. I was afraid of that. I just don't enjoy searches where everything is pretty much the same color. And I don't know that the game is worth buying solely for its mini-games.

Okay just finished. Some scenes are bluer than others. All in all it's a good game so maybe go through the demo. Even though I'm not great with outlines, the variety of different types of seek and find helped (each scene you search by outline, then 10 of a kind and then pieces of objects that you use to proceed the next scene).

There will be a sequel though (search for Zeus) so that one won't be underwater.

What's the deal with the jewels for hints? In some screens, clicking on the jewels would collect them, in other scenes, clicking would not loosen those jewels at all.

If you already have (for example) a red jewel in your amulet, you can't collect another red one. I think the pop-up text says that. If it doesn't say anything then I assume those aren't actually hint jewels.

While the scenes are underwater there is still some color peeking out. It is a great game. I'm enjoying it immensely.
You can take your time finding things and the clues are plentiful. I love it.

Only allowed to have one of each colored jewel.


Never resist a generous impulse.

I really find it hard to believe that there are 4 gems in each scene... At the beginning I could find 4 but now that I'm in the Library sections,,, I'm lucky if I can find one and I've been searching carefully.

The walkthrough doesn't show the gems.
