Thank you, everyone!

Actually thracia, I am an East Coaster originally (Massachusetts) and still consider it home. Someday I will probably end up back there, but I sure am glad I'm on the West Coast now......

Thanks BFG-Guy for stopping in with the specifics. Always Great to hear from you.
Barbara

I imagine BFG-Guy will be burning the midnight oil. I seem to recall him saying that he's a night owl anyway.

Official System requirements published.

Recommended system requirements:
OS: Windows XP/Vista/7
CPU: 2.0 GHz
RAM: 1280 MB
DirectX: 9.0
Hard Drive: 614 MB

Note: The game may run on lower spec systems but there is the chance of poor performance during video and high motion sequences.



Absolutely. I got 8 hours into an early alpha and it crashed (it was an untested build), so I still do not know how it ends. I was about 2/3 the way through it, although I am not a real fast HOG person and refuse to skip any puzzles or get help, so I still do not know how it ends!

When can non-members buy the Collectors Edition?
Susan

It is a club member exclusive.It will not be made available to non club members.

You will however be able to buy the regular version in December.

Ana

This is Nov.25 and I live in Europe so am I mistaken or wasn't it suppose to be released today for the collection edition? Thanks in advance who ever answers the question.

It is released, the link is here.

Ana

Thank You Ana, I feel so silly, I am downloading the game now! Whoo Hoo!

Don't forget to come up for air and tell us what you think in the Discussion thread!

Have fun!
Ana

So I can join Big Fish, buy it and then cancel my membership like you can do for tomorrows game today?
Susan

Yeppers, I do believe you can

I am downloading now

After looking forward to this game - I just found out yesterday that it uses lots more RAM than my 512 MB DDR.

I have been putting off getting the new computer as it is such a hassle trying to load everything, but it looks like it is time.

Have fun with this great new game everyone

Happy Trails,
HorseDancer

Is there a demo for the game?
Susan

There is no demo for the Collector's Edition.

Can you upgrade your memory?

Hi L4L,
I am thinking about that, but right now I am housebound - on oxygen from Congestive Heart Failure. I think I can call the place that has worked on my computer before and check it out. I

Thanks for your help.

HorseDancer

Awww Horsedancer, I hope you can get it worked out soon. Hugs to ya!

I am as disappointed as HorseDancer... except I excitedly (yet stupidly) bought it without checking the reqs.
I assumed it was comparable to the last game, MCF: Return to Ravenhearst (which only required a 800 Mhz CPU and 512 MB of RAM).

I have a 2.1 GHz CPU with maxed out RAM of 1024MB and a ATI Radeon X1550 AGP card.

This game does indeed have poor performance on my machine.
I wish I had read this thread earlier... and meanwhile I'll try not to obsess that my barely three year old desktop will soon be obsolete for even casual games.
