Mad, my father's family had a cottage in Go Home Bay, off Georgian Bay, that had no electricity. We slept on camp cots in one of the boathouses and read by the light of oil lanterns. No running water. It was hand pumped in from the lake and boiled. My Grandmother eventually had a propane tank added for a stove and when she got much older had a pump toilet that only she was allowed to use.

Like you, we thought it was the best time ever, an adventure.

Okay, thanks for letting us know that you saw it through. I hope you got something out of it, at least? I heard it has some fairly tough puzzles. It is a first effort after all, and I am sure there are faults. But based on what I have seen, it's a step in the right direction as compared to Midnight in Salem or Mystery of the Seven Keys. We shall see what happens in the future. I will be playing the Alex Hill game too (that one already has a second game in the works).

I like seeing attempts being made that are more like the older games. I love the ND series and wish they were still being made by the old development team. Life just hasn't been the same since Sea of Darkness. I always so looked forward to the new releases. So many games in the series yet they all stand out very clearly in my mind as no two were alike.

Thanks Marian!

I only buy games on sale yet I still manage to spend a good month of my annual income on games. Thankfully, I don't spend much on other entertainment, except now that I've bought a Nook tablet, I am spending on some books too.

Fireworks went all day and night here yesterday.

I must say that I am quite disappointed with the game I'm trying to play. In the 15 minutes I'm able to play every couple of days, I've managed to figure out something that so far hasn't actually moved me along in the game though. Now tonight, I was trying to look in an area that I've looked before and the game keeps pushing me up against a wall, literally. It will not let me move where I'm trying to move and once I'm at that wall the only thing I can do is exit out of the game. I don't know why it won't let me look at what I'm trying to look at. I have looked at it before. I guess it is time to start using the hints and or a walkthrough as I have pretty much lost interest but still want to finish the game.

Sounds good!

Thanks, Orion!

Thanks, Marian!

When I got new glasses a couple of months ago the suggestion was that I get a pair of dedicated reading/computer glasses as well as my progressive lenses. What a huge difference! I no longer get eye strain from reading and I can see most of the controls on the Deck. They're good up to three feet.
