Great, Marlene! It's lots of fun, and I enjoy watching Austin the Butler puttering around the property. smile

Finished Gardenscapes (I have completed the garden, although actually the game allows you to continue on after that for as long as you please).

Now I am playing Special Enquiry Detail: The Hand That Feeds.

Marlene, if you have ever played the Women's Murder Club games, Special Enquiry Detail is along those lines. I just finished the game and enjoyed it quite a lot, but be warned that some of the items you are looking for are very small. I just hit the hint button when that happened.

The game came out in 2010. I feel like an archaeologist playing some of these for the very first time!

Leeana, I played Shady Pines in the last couple of years and I enjoyed it. I think it may be time for a replay as I don't remember much else about it. I am happy to hear that you liked the game. smile

I just finished The Cursed Island: Mask of Baragus which was quite a good game as well. I don't really have anything negative to say about it except that the game seemed to deteriorate in the editing/proofreading department as it progressed, and it really could have benefited from some help. However, this was not enough to ruin the game for me, as the rest of the game was very well put together.

Now I am starting to play Autumn's Treasures: The Jade Coin, which has fractured hidden objects. I'm liking it so far.

I just purchased Committed: Mystery at Shady Pines also but don't know when I'll get around to playing it. So good to know you enjoyed it Leeana. I've had it on my "to buy" list for a long time based on Marian's recommendation. I also just purchased a couple of HO games mentioned by Marian and Penny Lane recently.

Marian, you've been mentioning a good number of games lately that I do not have.

I recently finished Hidden Expedition: The Lost Paradise which was okay but not nearly as good as the one before it. I am currently playing Labyrinths of the World: Secrets of Easter Island but I don't really care much for this one. I'm probably about half way through it.

Best wishes for the baby shower and for the baby and family, Leeana. smile

Oldbroad, I am playing some of my much older games in my Purchase History that have been neglected for far too long, so it's not really surprising that some of these titles are new to you. I don't know how long this trend will continue, but I am really enjoying finally getting around to some of these.

I have played The Lost Paradise as well as Easter Island. I remember liking both of them, but again, it's been too long since I played them to remember much detail.

Thanks Marian. I looked for Hidden Legends on BF but couldn't find that. I do, however, have Haunted Legends; just not played yet smile

Well, I just finished Autumn's Treasures: The Jade Coin. Quite a nice retro game of its type, a FROG with some mini-games that are mostly quite easy. Voiceovers as well, which I was not expecting. The game keeps track of your time spent and mine was a little over five hours.

So, on to the next (undetermined as yet) oldie game in my Purchase History!

I finished Labyrinths: Easter Island last night. I can usually find something about a game that I like but really can't think of anything in this game. The story totally lost me very early on. Yes, I am bad with stories but this one really was nonsense to me. I didn't like most of the voice acting. I didn't like many of the puzzles. I used the guide for a couple but one I still couldn't figure out with the guide. I can honestly say that I think I skipped more puzzles in this one game alone than I've skipped in all other games combined. They just were not fun or interesting enough for me to put too much time into. And while I'm complaining, I've been very disillusioned with the guides when I use them lately. They mostly are hard to use - hard to figure out where I'm at, don't say much of anything helpful, and the pictures are so small I can't really see anything useful in them either.

Okay, done ranting!

I'm currently playing Fatal Evidence: The Missing. I'm probably one third through the game. It is nothing special but it is not irritating me anyway.

I'm happy to hear you enjoyed Autumn's Treasures, Marian. I've put it on my list to possibly purchase. Looking forward to hearing about the next one!

Glad Fatal Evidence isn't irritating you! You are making me want to play Easter Island again just to check out the puzzles, etc. Will do at some point.

My new game is Abyss: The Wraiths of Eden and I am loving it so far. Great old Artifex Mundi game that I am really enjoying. Why I never played it after it was released I have no idea, except that I was probably just too darn busy. It's lots of fun. I am reading it's a pretty long game, too. Unless something goes seriously wrong with the rest of the game, this one will come highly recommended.

I have actually played that game Marian. I have it from ShinyLoot and played it way back when I bought it. Though I can't remember anything actually about it, I'm sure I liked it. I've thought of re-purchasing it since I'm not sure about my ShinyLoot games anymore but have not done so as of yet. I'm pretty sure I have it installed on my Windows 7 computer. I don't replay casual games too often since I have so many that I never played and so many of them are the same as each other but I have actually thought of trying this one again. I'm glad you are having fun with it!

I am playing Hidden Mysteries- Salem Secrets. A lot of HO scenes but some hard to see. I am mostly following the walkthrough.

I'm playing Dark Romance: Heart of the Beast which is enjoyable so far.

I've had Shattered Minds on my "to buy" list for awhile. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on the game.

I do not have any of the Hidden Mysteries games.

Marlene, I was thinking about playing Salem Secrets one of these days. It's in my Purchase History.

Ob, I played Heart of the Beast in the last three years or so and I liked it.

I am also liking Shattered Minds: Masquerade so far. Will let you know more about it when I have gotten further into it.

Finished Heart of the Beast. The game seemed a little short which was okay with me. A good game, but I did like Vampire in Love a little better though.

Next up - Enchanted Kingdom: A Stranger's Venom.

I do recall Heart of the Beast not being all that long, but that was okay with me too.

I've played A Stranger's Venom. I believe that is the second game in the Enchanted Kingdom series. I liked it.

Just finished the main game of Shattered Minds: Masquerade. I thought it was an enjoyable game with puzzles that were fun but not overly difficult. On to the bonus game now.

Time to move the thread up again.

Finished A Stranger's Venom. I also liked it. So far, this seems to be a nice series.

I also played Secret City: The Sunken Kingdom, which was pretty good.

Next up - Mystery Tales: The Hangman Returns.
