Hi there Mad. I, too, hope you are feeling better.
Marian, I am enjoying Treasures of Mystery Island: Ghost Ship. It is the best FROG ever in terms of attention to game details. For example, clicks on objects not in play produce comments on the scene and game world that add to immersion, something I always give bonus points for.
I did have to start using a magnifying glass because the fragments are uniformly tiny.
Do you have any other suggestions? I have played and mostly replayed Dark Parables. I have just finished Treasures Of Mystery Island; Gates Of Fate and will play Ghost Ship next. great FROG series!

8dognight, I am so glad to hear that you like Treasures of Mystery Island. Not surprising that the developer is 5 BN, considering its excellence. I haven't played the two other games in the series that Marlene mentions, and I really should give them a try. If I think of any other good FROG games, I will post about it here. As I mentioned previously, this game (along with its two sequels) is really good; however, there are some very tiny fragments as well as some mini-puzzles that were timed - a most regrettable design decision. In spite of these issues, I replayed Magic Encyclopedia in the last couple of years because I liked it so much otherwise. I also don't recall having any particular trouble with the timed puzzles, though, as it seemed the timer was pretty generous.

Yes.
I had that poor seedling out of the ground, lying wilted and limp for 4 or 5 hours while I went back and forth between playing and my actual life.
Eventually I gave up and googled a walkthrough. I had failed to pick up a stick, an eensy tiny stick cleverly hidden in plain sight. I love it when developers are much smarter than I am. I mean that; I am not being ironic.
