I certainly have more friends here at GameBoomers than in my other life!

That word game would not be good for me!

I hope Harold Halibut will be a good game for you!

I finished Dead Reckoning: Silvermoon Isle today and have now started Mystical Riddles: Ghostly Park. If the power stays on all week I will be getting a lot of gaming time in, because a horrible heat wave is going to be with us for at least a week. I will be doing as little as possible.

Silvermoon Isle was very good and I am enjoying Ghostly Park so far - only a few screens in but so far, so good.

Well, I sure hope your power stays on, Marian! We have finally cooled off here but when it's cooler outside it is hotter inside because my air doesn't turn on. I don't get much air flow through my windows.

I am enjoying Mystery Trackers: Black Isle. I think I may be about half way through. Also today I started a new mosaic game, Daydream Mosaics by the Jewel Quest developers. Still doing my needlework, paint by number, and jigsaw puzzles too.

That all sounds good, ob! I am happy to hear that you are enjoying Black Isle. I will try to replay that one soon.

I did not know that Daydream Mosaics was by the Jewel Quest developers - interesting. I am around level 70 now with Travel Riddles: Trip to Italy.

I had to look Travel Riddles up. I was assuming it was a HOG. Something else for me to consider buying.

Actually, I do already have these on my list of considerations.

Yes, just what we need - another game series to collect.

So, I'm a little disillusioned by Daydream Mosaics already. On the 13th level I had to make a guess at something. It was an easy enough guess. On the 14th level there was more guessing and that was after using the two power ups available. I thought the game was supposed to be based on logic, unless I just couldn't see the logic. I think you were supposed to be able to guess by the picture but, sorry, I don't know what the picture is sometimes. It made me make an error which means I went from a gold medal to a silver medal, and you know that ticked me off! I do like that the game has more colors than that Flowers Mosaics did but a lot of the colors look the same as each other and as the background, unfortunately. I hope there won't be too many guessing levels.

I have had the experience that you describe in other nonogram games I have tried in the past. I get discouraged and irritated when it becomes a guessing game or does not seem to be logic based. It's put me off a lot of these nonogram games, actually, as a result.

The description says this: "All nonograms based on logic" I know that I can certainly miss things but I don't believe I did. Unless you have to actually take pen and paper and draw pictures of what's open on this color and then on that color and merge them together, which is just a little too much for me to enjoy it.

I agree - that would be too much for me, too.

Still playing Mystical Riddles: Ghostly Park. As usual, a nice long game from Do/Domini.

I have started Fear for Sale: Phantom Tide. I have put a couple of hours into it already.

I've gotten myself stalled playing my casual and my adventure because I can't stop playing the Daydream Mosaics game. It is supposed to be for filling small amounts of time here and there but ...

Hey, I think that's great. I love it when I get completely caught up in something like that.

I have finally finished Mystery Trackers: Black Isle. It was pretty good! I only got frustrated in a good way!

That is good news.

I finished Phantom Tide, which I enjoyed. Now playing a match 3 game called The Chronicles of Noah's Ark.

Do you like the game, Marian? I have looked at those "Chronicles" games but don't have any of them - yet.

I started City Legends 3: Ghost of Misty Hall tonight. I played the first two games in 2022 and seem to remember liking them quite a bit. I am not yet sure about this one but I have only played for about 40 minutes. I don't have the 4th game due to my video problem.

Yes, I do like the game. I have the original Chronicles of Noah's Ark and I just noticed yesterday that a newer version came out a few years ago called The New Chronicles of Noah's Ark. I think all it did was improve the game graphically and such, but I'm not sure about that. I am pretty much done with it now.

I haven't played that City Legends game yet.

Yesterday I finished Reincarnations: The Awakening, which I found to be a very nice game.

Now I am playing Written Legends: Nightmare at Sea and I am really enjoying this one. The developer is Vast Studios. I highly recommend it and am finding it very entertaining. It was released on Big Fish in 2011 and I am just now getting around to it. Better late than never!

Huh! I was getting ready to say that I do not have Written Legends but I see that I purchased the SE version just this past October. I don't know if somebody here brought it to my attention or if I just ran across it on Big Fish. I'll have to download it and add it to my (very long) "soon" list.

I played another 40 minutes of City Legends. I am having trouble getting into it as I keep getting stuck, not knowing what to do.

There was no CE of Written Legends as far as I know. It is just a good, solid game with what I would say is just about the right amount of hidden object scenes.

I have had times with Do/Domini games where I kept getting stuck, too. I have never been sure whether it was the game getting harder or my brain getting softer.

I have that experience quite a lot thes days, Marian

I've just now started playing "Dark Canvas - A Murder Exposed (CE)".
I don't know whether I've ever played it before (I think I've had it for quite a while) but nothing about the start has jogged any memories

I have heard good things about Dark Canvas: A Murder Exposed, Mad. I hope you enjoy it.

I’m enjoying it very much so far, thank you, Marian 👍

(Plus, sorry that I forgot to come back to say how much I also enjoyed the Elizabeth Bathory vampire game !! )

Oh, good to know, Mad! I need to play both games, then. Will put them on my list for this year.
