Thanks, Marian.
I’ll certainly give Robinson II a go at some time 👍

I'm playing The Fool now. It's interesting.

Oh, that sounds good then, thanks, oldbroad 🤗

I finished The Fool tonight Mad. I thought it was a fun little game. I did, however, skip two puzzles. The first one I feel I should have been able to get but couldn't and wanted to continue playing; the second one I probably never would have gotten though it probably is not a hard puzzle for somebody else - just not my thing. I did play in "expert mode" which, after looking at a guide just now, gave me fewer moves in the first puzzle I skipped.

Not sure yet what's up next.

Oldbroad, I remember The Fool making a fool of me numerous times.

I've been replaying as many MCFs as I can get to run on Windows 11 which in combination with my laptop makes running older Big Fish games a royal pain by eliminating the compatibility option in properties.

Fate's Carnival was good the first time and this time. The game that impresses me more now than when I first played it is Broken Hour because puzzles, task, notes, story, and graphics mesh so well. Eipix has the ability to confound me by putting a necessary object in the extreme foreground while I fixate on everywhere else. This works well in Black Veil, too.

I started Mystery Tales: Her Own Eyes last night and I like it a lot so far

Thanks for your thoughts after finishing the “Fool” game, oldbroad 👍

I also have been re-playing all the MCF games. Fate's Carnival remains one of my all-time favorites.
Just finished The Countess; onward to Moths to a Flame.

Also: Lost Lands - Sand Captivity - the end is in sight. Bonus Game is wonderfully long. Only skipped one puzzle; got it 98% and couldn't get the last bit.

Still have Dalimar Legacy to look at.

I just finished Valerie Porter and the Scarlet Scandal, an older casual game that is no longer in the Big Fish catalog since the publisher Playfirst removed all of their titles. It's a HOG, but it has a good story line along with a few word puzzles between HOG scenes. I found it to be one of the better efforts along these lines.

I just finished a replay of Hope Lake, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a HUGE game, took several days to play through. Lots to do, lots of scenes to explore and exhaust. The only down side for me is how many rotation puzzles it has in it. I can get tired of too much repetition of one type of puzzle in the same game.

I have Enigmatis:The Mysts of Ravenwood loaded and ready to replay next.

Those are both really good games, Reenie! I would like to replay both of them this year.

Yes, I had given Hope Lake my highest rating, and wasn't disappointed with the replay. It took several days to play through, lots of map drawing and note taking, some very pesky puzzles to solve. My hat is off to them for providing such a great gaming experience.

I have those games but haven't played them. I'm getting ready to start The Wisbey Mystery right now.

Let me know how that goes. I stopped playing the game because I was having this odd technical problem where the screen would go black for about a half a minute every time I went to a different game screen. I never bothered trying to troubleshoot it. Maybe it was just something about my computer (Windows 7) the game did not like. I cannot remember if I ever tried uninstalling and reinstalling. It would probably be fine on our Windows 10 computer, but I haven't tried it on that one yet.

Hi Reenie. I have Hope Lake installed and ready to play - just watched the very beginning - but hoping to get into it properly very soon

Marian, I finished The Wisbey Mystery already. It's very short. I don't know how much you played but the translations are not too good in some parts, the text goes away fast in some parts, and I think there was only one actual puzzle, the rest of the game being to find and use items. I don't think the one puzzle even responded to me. I'm fairly certain I had the correct solution but the (cabinet) door didn't open until I hit the "skip" button. Nothing rearranged itself but the door opened then. I played in Windows 10 and did not have any technical problems with the screen going black. The game is okay but you really won't be missing anything if you don't play it.

Thanks so much for that information, ob. Based on the 20 minutes or so that I played, I was not left with the impression that I would be missing out on something special if I did not play it. Still, I like to give things a fair chance. Based on what you have said, maybe someday I will try it on Windows 10/11 but I won't be feeling any particular urgency about it.

I'm playing enigmatis the mists of ravenwood collectors. I bought this game quite awhile ago but for some reason never played it. It's pretty good, but those butterflies are hard to find.

I loved Enigmatis: The Mists of Ravenwood. I am also quite sure I never found all the butterflies.

I hope you enjoy Hope Lake, Mad.

I started Golden Trails 2: The Lost Legacy last night. I was disappointed though when I had to "solve" a puzzle involving 8 liquor bottles and 8 country flags. I wanted to exit and Google to see if I could figure out (find) some answers but the game would not let me out of the puzzle unless I solved it one way or the other. Other than that, I do like this series. Thank you Marian for suggesting / mentioning it some time back last year (or 2 ago).

You are most welcome, ob! Glad you are liking this series.

Probably of interest to pretty much no one here, but I just finished Hotel Ever After: Ella's Wish CE, a time management game with 60 levels. I enjoyed it.

Not sure what is next.

I'm always interested Marian, even if I don't play time management games!

"I hope you enjoy Hope Lake, Mad. :)"

Thanks, Marian ....

And like oldbroad and probably everyone else here, I'm always interested in what you might be playing !!

Well, thank you both! I will continue to mention the time management games that I have completed, then.

I've been playing Hope Lake today and really like it !!

Does anyong know if there are there any other games from this developer at Big Fish ??

Thanks.

Mad
