Terrific! All good then. yes

I played and finished Shiver: Vanishing HItchhiker CE, which I had played once when it was first released. It was just as good as I remembered. A really well-made game.

Now I am getting towards the end of the main game in Death Pages: Ghost Library CE. This is the only Elephant Game that brings Romeo and Juliet as well as Hamlet to the proceedings. It's interesting so far. Yet another oldie that I am finally getting around to playing.

I've played eight "Amaranthine Voyage" games over an extended period and I know I liked them all - but I couldn't tell you what any of them were about at this late date !! laugh

I have Shiver: Vanishing Hitchhiker on disc (not played yet). I do not have Death Pages: Ghost Library. It sounds interesting but cannot view the trailer.

I guess there's really no point in buying new games then as we can just keep replaying all the ones we've already played, right? snicker

There's a trailer for Death Pages here. One thing I am liking about this game is that the hidden object scenes are the kind where you are placing items back into the scene. It makes for a nice change.

Yes, I shouldn't need to buy any more games. snicker

Thanks Marian. I had actually Googled and I think I saw that and another one, but at the top of my screen it said that my browser didn't support any of the available formats, so I didn't even try to look at either of them. duh

Actually, it's not at the top of the page and I had the wrong wording, but still... It is right next to the video. See below. The second one is the one you linked me to and it worked just fine so I don't know why they say this.

This is a lot to wade through, but you can read about that message here.

Marian, that link gives me a big RED WOT message to GO BACK! It doesn't really matter anyway why it says that. It apparently didn't mean much, but Thank You anyway!

I remember that game with fondness, too, Marian. Thanks for the reminder to Replay.

It is even better than I remembered, Reenie. You are welcome for the reminder.

Glad you have played this one, Mad. wave

I restarted Lost Lands: Ice Spell yesterday evening, and it kept me up WAAAAY too late. ha ha I love all the Lost Land games and have reviewed them already. If I could remember the order, I would play them in order because each game assumes you were aware of who the other two protagonists are when you meet with them. This is a great series, for anyone who hasn't discovered it yet. Long, detailed, lots of stuff to do, great puzzles with unique workings, fantastic artwork and video sequences that make you think of a Hollywood film, imaginative HO and min-games. They have it all.

The order of the Lost Lands series is:

Lost Lands: Dark Overlord CE
Lost Lands: The Four Horsemen CE
Lost Lands: The Golden Curse CE
Lost Lands: The Wanderer CE
Lost Lands: Ice Spell CE
Lost Lands: Mistakes of the Past CE
Lost Lands: Redemption CE

And I agree that this is a terrific series!

For the past week I've been playing "older" games made by Elephant Games (7 to 9 years old):

  • Mystery Case Files: Fate's Carnival CE (2013)
  • Mystery Trackers 2: Raincliff CE (2011)
  • Grim Tales 2: The Legacy CE 2012

I enjoyed all of those games. And thank you for reminding me about Grim Tales: The Legacy, which I have only played once.

Thanks, Marian. I added that bit of info to my list, to know which order they go in. I only have two left to Replay at this point, but if (and when) I start a third run-through, I'll know the order.

I played The Lake House: Children of Silence long ago and seem to remember liking it quite a bit also.

I don't have the last Lost Lands game yet but do have the others. I have not played any of them though.

Since finishing the second Amaranthine Voyage game I have replayed the first Dream Chronicles game and yesterday I started a replay of MCF: Fates Carnival, thanks to the thread Jenny started about it.

I have played the first two Lost Lands games twice now - I liked them that much!

Just finished The Lake House: Children of Silence CE. I pretty much played all day save for a few breaks. Great fun.

Now I want to play/replay this developer's other games. The developer is Friday's Games.

I just finished my 4th Elephant Games game in a row --
The SE version of Mystery Trackers: Black Isle (the 3rd in the series).

No technical problems with this one, though there was a puzzle I skipped where you have to drag pictures of animals, each to just the right spot, and there didn't seem to be any indication of where the right spot is. I got tired of dragging them around to no effect. Even checking a walkthrough that showed roughly where they were supposed to go, the puzzle never solved.

I'm not sure what I'll play next.
Maybe another older Elephant Games game that I haven't played in a while.

Sorry about that one picky puzzle, Jenny. It sounds like you did really well with the game overall. Good to hear what you are playing. I need to play some of those old Mystery Trackers games - they would be like brand-new games for me at this point.

Speaking of older Elephant games, I have one that I haven't played yet called Unfinished Tales: Illicit Love CE. Not sure when I will be playing it, but probably before the end of the year. Unfortunately it seems to have been removed from the Big Fish website - I wonder why? Sometimes with these game removals it's evident that it was probably a licensing issue or something, but some of these removals leave me scratching my head.

When I wrote to Domini and asked them why a certain game of theirs had been removed from the BF website, they said I would have to ask BF. That surprised me, as I thought that these removals were always requested by the developer.

And now I finished my 5th-in-a-row Elephant game:

Chimeras: Tune of Revenge CE

No problems in this one, though I did skip one of those games where you have to have more pieces left on the board at the end than the AI player. I'm no good at those.
