I can't remember about the "gadgety stuff" in the Atlantis game Mad, but I can say that I am not enjoying the Camelot game nearly as much as you did, unfortunately. I'm glad the Grim game is going better for you though! I haven't bought any of the Magic City Detective series because of my Domini video issue. Someday I should test a game out again to see if something may have changed as sometimes mysteriously happens .

Oh, I'm sorry you aren't enjoying the Camelot game as much as I did, oldbroad. Another case of not everyone liking the same thing, eh ??

I finished my CE of Grim Tales : The White Lady and enjoyed it very much .... so now I've started the CE of Grim Tales : Dual Disposition and it, too, is looking good

Would that be another title than those two Iβve mentioned, Marian ?? (I lose track of whatβs new and whatβs not )

Mad, the Camelot game didn't appeal to me too much. The story confused me which is not unusual but I didn't care for the puzzles too much either. Well, we definitely differ with our opinions on THIS game, oldbroad, because I enjoyed the story. And the story is always a major part of my liking or disliking a game

I am playing Mystery Trackers: Four Aces. I got it to run on Windows 11 by changing the DPI.
This is one of my favorite casual games, nice and long with an adventure game feel and some entertaining puzzles. I quite like this early iteration of Elf. The detective acquires Elf, who was chained to a lamp post, in a previous game. One of the best features is the use of live actors.
The detective makes comments that add touch of character. My current favorite is "Oops. I didn't mean to blow the whole place up. Sorry." before we trundle on past the destroyed obstacle without another thought and after remarking piously that private houses are not to be ransacked.
Another gem: "You can never have too many tool box handles."
The game isn't that complex but I have had to use hints several times after quitting for several days.
