Lovely !!

Discworld Noir is one of my favourite games too, mbday630, and I have re-played it several times

I've never possessed Edna and Harvey the Breakout so am not familiar with it but wonderful that you can play it with your Grandchildren

Managed finally to get through the GRS Offices with only being zapped a few times by the bot. On to despatching the Chameleon.

Well my Black Dahlia re-play is going well, if rather slowly

But there are some doozies of puzzles to get to grips with and never enough playing time

Hi Mad,

I have read that you did not possess
Edna and Harvey, would you like to have
mine? I never played the game, cause
it's not my cup of tea ...
Edna doesn't even has a nose...
I would send it to you for free.

Have a nice day, Rob

Well, that is a nice offer FlyingDutchman42. I hope Mad takes you up on it. I enjoyed both Edna and Harvey games myself.

Hi FlyingDutchman42

That's very generous of you, to offer the game for free, and thank you !!

But you must allow me to at least cover the postage.

[I will go PM you with my address.]

Cheers.

Mad

Hi Mad,

I have yust sent the package.
It is nice of you that you offer to
pay for the postage.

Normally I would be inclined to refuse,
but as my finances have seen better days,
I would appreciate it if you could pay half.

That would amount to 6 euro's.

I will send you a PM with my paypal.
Hope the game arrives savely and you will
like it!

Have a nice gaming day, Robert

P:S: Thanks, oldbroad for the friendly words!

Got your PM, FlyingDutchman42

Have replied - and sent you the money via PayPal

I'll let you know when the game gets here - and many thanks

Cheers.

Mad

Hi Mad,

Thanks and I hope you will recieve the game soon.
It seems to be a special edition.
(with music disc as an extra)
The box is quit pretty as well!
(hope I wrapped it in suffenciently)

Have a fine day, Rob

Hi

Thank you very much and I will let you know as soon as it arrives

Cheers.

Mad

Wow !! The game arrived today !! Super fast, eh ??

And thank you SO much for sending it to me

And, oh yes, it was VERY well wrapped. So thank you for that, too

Cheers.

Mad

Hello Mad,

That was incredibly quick!
Am glad the game arrived savely.

I have bought "Layers of Fear" again
on GOG,(it was on sale) cause my
Steam one didn't install anymore.
I never finished this one
cause of the "Layers" of Doors that were
a game spoiler!

Since yesterday I have made good progress
(many a door hás been openend ... )

P.S: I am a clumsy package wrapper,
and tape often ends up on my fingers,
instead of on the package. ...

Have a good day,Rob

I hope you are very much enjoying "Layers of Fear, FlyingDutchman42
[I also have the game but haven't played it yet.]

[And it looked to me that ALL the tape on the package you sent me WAS on the package as far as I could tell !! ]

Nearly completed Black Dahlia now and think I might re-play some King's Quests next.
Lovely !!

I'm thinking replays of Scratches and The Arrangement coming up next. Scratches will actually be The Director's Cut which I did not play before but I still consider this a replay.

Hopefully, they will both work with no problems.

Have fun with King's Quest, Mad! Do you play the originals or the remakes when you replay? Even though the fan remakes are great, I always have to play the originals when playing through the full series, as I consider those the versions that "actually happened." King's Quest VI is still the best, I think.

I recently loaded The Arrangement on my 7 year old Win 7 64 bit, and I couldn't get any sound.

I'll be trying The Arrangement in my XP Uncle Reg, but did you post in glitches in case they might be able to help you with that?

I’ve never played The Arrangement, oldbroad, but I've played both the original Scratches and the Director’s Cut.
I hope you enjoy whichever games you decide to go with

I vary my plays of King’s Quest games, venus.
Sometimes I use the original disks in Win98SE and sometimes I use the GOG tweaked versions in WinXP or Win7.
[ Without physically checking, however, I’m not sure what fan versions I actually have !! ]

Mad, it sounds as though you play the original versions then, regardless of whether you use your disks or the GOG copies. This is the "correct" way to play the series, I think.

There are also these installers that allow you to run your original games on more modern computers - http://www.sierrahelp.com/Patches-Updates/NewSierraInstallers.html#KQ. I use these for my Roberta Williams Collection, and they allow the games to run perfectly for me on both Windows 7 and Windows 10. Just another option in case you ever want to use it.

Oh, I DO also have access to those Sierra Installers etc., venus. Grabbed them yonks ago - as soon as I heard about them

My favourites in the KQ series are 4,5,6 and 7 - with 6 being my very favourite

My last two games played are "Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders" and "Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father 20th Anniversary Edition". Liked both games offering more traditional gameplay. The first one had gamepad support but the latter not, so lots of mouse clicking lately.

AC was more like a casual game and little too much guided tour like, you simply could not go wrong. I prefer Sherlock Holmes games over it.

Never played original GK, started gaming as late as 2006. The remake offered decent graphics and somewhat challenge gamewise. Had to take a peek at walkthrough three times. For the mimic and policeman, coded message on the wall at the graveyard and drumming message near the end. The last one was actually too easy to even try, he he. Expected something more complicated.

I guess it's now time for an action oriented game, thinking of Resident Evil IV...

Timo

I enjoyed playing ABC Murders, as you say not exactly taking but enjoyed playing it in a laid-back with cooperatively with my better half.

Looking forward to giving 39 Days to Mars a spin as a 2-player co-op adventure.

I'm down to the very last remnants of a re-play of Black Dahlia and am about to start a re-play of one of the King's Quests games.

And last year, I re-played both the games you mention, TJL !!

I really ought to be starting one of the many "never yet played" in my collection but I keep getting side tracked by lovely oldies
