I haven't gotten around to starting a new casual game yet .

Just finished Haunted Hotel: Lost Time. Creeeepy! Good Puzzles; thin story line.
Now on to Puppet Master.

(Oops) It's called Puppet Show

It sounds like you enjoyed the new Haunted Hotel game overall, Tally Ho. Thanks for weighing in.

I started Legacy Tales: Mercy of the Gallows today. So far, so good, except for looking for those coins. Thankfully, the chest at least lets you know if there are some still to be found in each area, but some are already getting annoying to hunt down and I've only played a short time.

Oldbroad, do you have to find all the coins? I can't remember; it's been too long since I played the game. I finished Grim Tales: The Generous Gift CE yesterday. It was an okay game - nothing awful and nothing spectacular, just average.

I haven't decided what's up next.

I don't know if you have to find all of the coins Marian but they are used to open other chests I guess. I've only used them once so far and was given story information. I don't know if that's what they all are or if there will be items to get or what. Even if it is just story info, I would like to get that.

Some of the coins are very hard to see but you will get a hand icon indicating it is there but you have to really move the cursor over every pixel slowly.

I just looked it up and the coins are necessary in order to further progress in the game. I do remember some of them being very hard to see.

I just read this article. All of the games mentioned are worth playing.

Just finished the bonus chapter of Azada : In Libro.
Thoroughly enjoyed this game and am very glad I have the othere Azada in hand for the future

Thanks for that article link Marian. I have 2/3 of those games and am off to take a look at the ones I don't have.

I found out I have one game twice even though I'd swear I had checked this already and didn't find it before: Kingmaker aka King's Heir: Rise to the Throne.

Glad you enjoyed Azada In Libro Mad!

That's great news about Azada, Mad!

Oldbroad, so you are saying you have two of the same game in your Purchase History? I am surprised that the system allowed you to do that, unless one is a CE and one is an SE. Otherwise, it lets you know if you are trying to purchase a game that you already own.

I purchased one from Big Fish and one from Steam and I'm sure I checked my games list first and I think I knew about the two different names . I guess with all the games out there, it's bound to happen at least once .

Oh, I see. I wasn't thinking about the possibility of having purchased the games in two different places. Thank goodness Big Fish lets you know if you already have the game.

I just finished Queen's Tales: The Beast and the Nightingale CE. I really enjoyed this one and would rank it quite high on my list. Beautiful fairy tale and I spent several very pleasant hours with this one.

I also played and finished Dark Romance: Heart of the Beast, which I also enjoyed. I am either getting easier to please or have just had the good fortune to choose some really nice games lately.

Today I started the Casual "Grim Tales : Guest from the Future" which is looking pretty good - and I also started Mikael's Carol Reed Adventure "Geospots"

Sounds good, Mad!

I finished the main game of Legacy Tales: Mercy of the Gallows today. Still have to play the bonus. Apart from some pixel hunting for coins (though not a horrible amount as they were pretty clear in most scenes) and some random clicking in the HO scenes where I couldn't tell what I was looking at, and one inventory glitch, it was a nice game with good puzzles. The glitch fixed itself when I got out of the game and went back in.

When I completely finish this, I might play Alex Hunter: Lord of the Mind. Has anyone played that?

Glad to hear you are enjoying the game overall, oldbroad. I have Alex Hunter: Lord of the Mind but haven't played it yet. It sure has good reviews on Big Fish!

It is !! I'm enjoying both games very much

Marvelous!

Well, a giant setback !!

About three quarters of the way through "Grim Tales : Guest from the Future" the game froze and completely locked up my computer.
[Win7 machine,]

After a lot of unsuccessful messing about I decided my only option was to uninstall the game and maybe try over with it from a completely new beginning - BUT - it would only uninstall partway and then locked up my computer again !!

I Jumped through several more time hogging hoops (definitely developing a bad temper along the way) but finally got it uninstalled.

But then it wouldn't fully reinstall .... It stuck around 45% and refused to go further.

Now, after more "cleaning up", and rebooting etc, I have successfully re-downloaded it and maybe later will (gingerly) start to play and see if I can get past the "freeze" spot.

[Phew. Techie stuff leaves me shattered but I was enjoying the game very much and would like to play it through. !!]

So please wish me luck this time round

I certainly do wish you luck, Mad. I played through the Grim Tales: Guest from the Future CE without any problems on my Windows 7 computer. I am sorry to hear of your difficulties.

So sorry to hear that Mad and I wish you luck with the replaying! What a pain!

Thanks, Marian and oldbroad

And .... my goodness .... well done with "Conspiracies" oldbroad

Mad,
Be sure to tell your tech what happened.
He may want to check your hard drive.
If it's starting to fail, he can image the drive, put the image on another hard drive, and replace the old drive with the new one.

Failure to uninstall properly and failure to install fully can be the result of the software timing out due to the computer having trouble reading and writing to the drive within the allotted time.

It could be something else, but I doubt the problem is with the game. It uses the same installer and uninstaller as other Big Fish games.

I used the walkthrough and UHS hints for most of the game Mad, but thanks!

What Jenny said does not sound good Mad.
