Happy Gaming,
Ana

I love this game. Played demo for 10 min. and bought it.

It's fantastic and very long. You get a lot of great gaming for the money.

Ana

I loved the first two games in this series and 20 minutes into the demo I knew I would love this one as well.

Is it a FROG? I hope so - I just love FROGS

I loved the frist two games also

It is, and a very good one!

Ana

Ooh goody goody - Cant wait to play this

The walkthrough is on Big Fish now, written by Ana!

Just finished it - been playing all day. A really great game

Glad you enjoyed it Jenny!

Thanks Marian!

Ana

Baaged it as well!

Thanks Ana, This is a great game!

I'm really glad you all are enjoying it.

Ana

If this game is as good as you folks say it is, it makes me wonder why they didnt release it as a CE, but I am glad they didnt, of course.

Very nice walkthrough!

I bought it outright, without playing the demo, based on what you folks said about it

Just witing for my punch card credits to get this one. I enjoyed the other ones too.

This is a really great game! For those of you who love the morphs, there are more than 50 to find. It is also a very long game. All the "stuff" we love about Collector's Editions without the price. Buy it! You won't be sorry, I promise.

We were told on the Big Fish forums that our punch card credits for March are going to be sent out on Monday.

Thanks Becky!

I just finished. That was some great game. I think I like that one the best in their series.

ooooo, I don't dare demo! I loved the other 2 and gotta wait for the punch card credits and game credit tomorrow!!!

(maybe I'll just play a little and then try not to think about it)

Just finished. What an eerily timely ending! Kudos to the developers

Rosaboobie,

What is a FROG?

After I posted this I found that it means fragmented hidden object but what does it mean by "fragmented" ?

Thanks!

Fragmented or Fractured Hidden Object. It's when you need to find pieces of the items instead of an item list.

Thanks!

This was a wonderful game! I am really fond of games that have water in them and this one does and many times it is Very believable..very. Good atmosphere. Only problem i had was usually had to use a hint because of those darn small pieces of the objects..but did not keep me from enjoying the game. Hope another soon...and in a nice ''watery'' location!

Question. I'd really like to have this game, but it downloads really slow. (some games do, others zip-zip) Can I play something while it d-loads? Or, will that mess it up?

You can play something while it downloads. The game Manager will take care of it.

The Treasures of Mystery Island: The Ghost Ship

This was a most excellent game, most fun
I've had playing a game in a good while.
This $6.99 game put most any of those $13.99 CE's to shame!
I agree with gamenut, some of the fractured pieces were
a wee bit of a challenge to find,
but if you take a few moments to familiarize yourself with
the 'habits' of the developers
you will find them opening right up for you.
I give this one 2 thimbs up!

Is this game more like the first Treasures of Mystery Island or the second. I liked the first one and bought it, but decided not to get the second after playing the demo.

I'd say it's more like the second game, Jenny, although my opinion is based on only 30 minutes of gameplay so far.

Has anyone else been experiencing choppy mouse movement in the game?

I've had this problem with other games so I'm beginning to think it may be my PC. I recently updated to Windows 7 but I would hope that shouldn't matter.

I can get out of the "choppiness" by doing alt-tab and then going back to the game but it seems to be happening more and more often (and I'm only playing the demo.)

Robert

Is there a custom cursor option in the menu that you can shut off?

I sure wouldn't think that your mouse issues would be due to Windows 7. I don't know what else to suggest other than sending a Dr. Felix report to Big Fish.

Well, I bought this one based on the good reviews here after playing just a few minutes of the demo. At first I thought I'd made a mistake. But as someone else pointed out, once I got the hang of the game I started to really enjoy it. I am using Hints pretty frequently to find the smaller pieces. But overall, well worth my time and money.

I tried changing the cursor and the screen resolution but still have the same problem.

As far as I know I have the latest video driver - which I'm sure is one of the things that's recommended.

I noticed on the BFG forum for this game some people were having a similar problem - along with some other problems.

Maybe BFG will release a fix - hopefully.

Robert

I'm playing this game now and not having any problems. I really like the game and am really enjoying it. Hope you can get your problems worked out and wish I could help but I would probably make it worse if I tried to help,lol. Good luck.

I finished this game last night and I really liked it. One of those games you want to finish but are sad to finish, know what I mean? Well worth the purchase.

Glad you enjoyed the game, Lynda. You would probably also enjoy the first two Treasures of Mystery Island games as well.

Thanks Marian, I'm going to check those out. Did you get the hail this afternoon? I want spring!

I didn't notice any hail but I might have missed it due to playing a game this afternoon. We had about 4-6 inches of snow here yesterday, but it's all melted away now.

We had about the same amount of snow, gone now too. I just played a trial version of the second Treasures of Mystery Island but it was not a good as The Ghost Ship, too easy, too many hints even if I checked that I did not want them. They really improved on the Ghost Ship. Thanks though, it was worth a try.

I'm playing this game, and I feel it's really worth the price. So far - great game and seems long and involved.

Glad you like it!

Ana

This is a beautiful game! I'm enjoying the graphics and pleasant music. Thanks to General Tips in Ana's WT I'm watching for the morphing objects, always a plus.

I love morphing objects, they are such fun!

Happy gaming.

Ana

I see a sale of $4.99 for games, but it states that it's "for new customers only", does this mean for first time purchases only?

Yes, lexxy, that's what it means.

Thanks ...just thought it was worth a try(lol).

This is one of the few and probably the only game with fragmented objects that I have relished. FROGs are usually the equivalent of giant flashbacks in narrative which impede forward motion like a sack of stones on the story and puzzles. Ninety percent of the time, Ghost Ship's FRO scenes actually moved the action onward. I can find some glaring examples of the difference in narrative skill if anyone is interested. It will take time because I deleted them unfinished.

Ghost Ship was a big surprise for me.

The puzzles were too easy. That's my only gripe.

I also liked the lilting Carol Reed type music, soothing choice for looking for slivers of shovels and paint brushes.
