Mystery Case Files - The Dalimar LegacyPicked up this MCF game when it came out; and was dismayed that the "flickering" which affects many recent games, was so bad that I soon gave up playing it. Some time later, I got into Obduction, and was forced (did I say forced, really?) into installing a video card and adding memory. Obduction ran just fine, and so did Firmament, following some serious tweaking of the game options. That being said, I forgot that I even had the Dalimar Legacy until I saw someone mention it today. Started the game; switched to full-screen, and Boom! it runs perfectly. So that's what casual game I am playing. WooHoo. ______________________
Otherwise, I am playing Myst III Exile. MYST games aren't quite casual, and they aren't quite adventures. I feel they are in a land of their own. I actually pre-ordered Exile, and it appeared in my mailbox on the day of issue. That was fun. Included was a Squee T-shirt, and a few odds and ends. The bad news I am utterly stuck; lost in Edanna and can't find my way out through the "other hollow log." Three walkthroughs haven't helped. Maybe there's a video somewhere.

I am playing Hidden Expedition- Titanic. I have played this several times over the years . I like the little bits of Titanic history included after each section is completed. Also those old photographs are really cool! I never tire of this HOG.

I am going to have to replay that one, Marlene. I don't think I have played it again since it was originally released. Thank you for the reminder. Recently I picked up Hidden Mysteries: The Fateful Voyage (Titanic) and am looking forward to playing that as well. I think I missed that one! I'll check it out.

There's also 1912: Titanic Mystery as well as Inspector Magnusson: Murder on the Titanic, and also Secrets of the Titanic 1912-2012 and Titanic's Keys to the Past. I don't know anything about any of these, though, apart from their titles. I remember playing 1912: Titanic Mystery But not the other one.

I'm in the middle of Secret City: The Human Threat. Had to get out of the game last night unable to solve a puzzle so I'll see how it goes today. I am getting really good at hitting that "skip" button now . Ha Ha! That skip button in the games is a lifesaver! I run out of patience! I really overuse it!

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow I played last year and I loved it, Mad. It suited me perfectly. I have played Curse of the Black Water a couple of times and also like that game very much. Thanks, Marian !! We do tend to like a lot of the same games
