I played the Dana Knightstone series sometime between 2011 and 2015 (going by what computer I played them on according to my games list). I have the first game only on disc but the rest are downloads.

Recently I played Fairy Godmother Stories: Little Red Riding Hood. It was okay.

Currently I am playing Lost Lands: The Wanderer. It's going well so far.

I’ve re-played the Dana Knightstone series twice as I really like those games 👍

Currently I’m into an iPad Casual called Cave Quest 2 - with Cave Quest (1) waiting in the wings (as I didn’t find that one first).
And am VERY much enjoying it 😑

Just in case y'all wonder where I have been; I started with Huntsville, and have continued to re-play each and every Mystery Case Files game in order. As of now, about three-quarters done. Check back in a month.

p.s. - If I ever see that domino puzzle from Ravenhearst again, you will hear me scream!

Domino puzzle in Ravenhearst? I can't picture it.

I've got Cave Quest 2 loaded on my Win 10 to play but haven't started it yet. Cave Quest 1 was very good but very short.

I finally finished the main game of Cave Quest 2 a while back. It took me quite a while to get through. Definitely longer than the first game, although I thought the first game was of a decent length too.

Now I am playing another match 3 game, Helga the Viking Warrior: Ivar's Revenge. I still have the bonus game left to play in It Happened Here: Streaming Lives CE.

I have been doing more reading than gaming lately, but this will probably change at some point.

Seeing as I very much like Cave Quest 2, I decided to go to Big Fish.
And I got both Cave Quest games in their Match 3 Sale.
So I can play them on the bigger screen of my PC.
[Despite even SALE items from Big Fish still being way too expensive here in the UK - since the shake up.]

But Yahoo !! hamster

Ooooh .... Nice !!
Thanks for that info, Marian grin

I'm also playing "Brink of Consciousness : Dorian Gray Syndrome CE" - and this, too, seems to be looking good.
I've only just started it though so I'll have to see how it goes before giving a real opinion smile

The "Brink of Consciousness" game is turning out to be really enjoyable grin

A similar story-line to other Casuals but then so many follow a similar plot lol

A well crafted little adventure all the same thumbsup

Brink of Consciousness: Dorian Gray Syndrome is one of my favorites - and if you haven't played Brink of Consciousness: The Lonely Hearts Murders, that too is well worth your time. wave

The developer, Magic Indie, made a lot of good casual games.

I have those two games on disc but have never played them. I'll have to find out if they work, one of these days. smile

Hi Marian smile

Yes. I played "Brink of Consciousness: The Lonely Hearts Murders" some time ago and liked it - and that's what probably prompted me to find another by the same maker.

[I'll have to go see if there are others, now, but if there are they will have to wait for a sale yes]

EDIT :

I went to Big Fish and entered the developer name but that didn't work lol


And .. Hi oldbroad grin

I hope they do work for you, oldbroad thumbsup

Hi Marian smile

I looked on Big Fish but couldn't find a search category for "Developers".
So then I googled for "Game Developers Magic Indie" - but I couldn't find anything confused

Are you able to please offer any suggestions as to where I might find any info. about other games by them besides the Brink of Conciousness ones ??

I found this but I don't know if it's complete.

https://hogs.fandom.com/wiki/MagicIndie_Softworks

There's a link in there for the "homepage" but it brings up an error 404 page not found.

I don't have the Robinson Crusoe games. Have you played (and liked) those?

The first Robinson Crusoe game was a very basic HOG, as I recall. It has been a long time since I played it.

The second one, while not a HOPA, did have somewhat more interaction. Again, though, this is all based on a very dim memory. I do remember some humor in it.

They were both very good of their type but might seem tame now compared to what has been released since then.

Thanks Marian! You know, I often like the older games better. I guess it does depend on my mood though yes.

I know what you mean, oldbroad. Sometimes a good old HOG is just what the doctor ordered. smile

I‘ve played the first Robinson Crusoe but wasn’t overly impressed.
(As Marian says, it was rather “basic”.)
But I’m hoping for better with Robinson II 😑

According to this page, Mystery Case Files: The Dalimar Legacy CE is being released this Thursday, March 2nd.

I am presently playing Awakening Remastered: Moonfell Wood CE, which is terrific.

And I just finished another match-3 game, Jake Everest: Wakanga the Unseen Civilization.

Mad, Robinson II is somewhat less basic, as I recall. smile

Thanks for the info on the MCF game Marian. I liked the original Ravenhearst game the best of all of them. The second and third were good the first time I played them but not so much the second time. The others that followed didn't really do anything for me. That being said, I will of course buy and play the game. wink

I'm still playing Lost Lands: The Wanderer. So much back and forth in the game that I lost track of the story. Focusing more on my replay of Atlantis. yes
