I hate it too when a game is so inflexible, oldbroad. Especially if the only thing one can do is re-start 👎

No need to restart the game, Mad. I guess it just lets you skip doing some things that aren't necessary to finish the game. But that second "choice" area didn't really work that way like the first one did so I don't know.
Edit: The thing is that apparently you had to say yes to this choice to move forward in the game even though you want to say no because it sounds like then you cannot do a bunch of stuff in the game. I hope that makes sense.

Oh, well good that you didn't have to re-start. I HAVE had to re-start (or abandon the game) when I missed picking up something - or similar - but wasn't allowed to revisit the area to do so. On those occasions Big Fish has always offered me another game in compensation but, truth be told, I would much prefer the glitch was caught before the game was put out for sale Anyway, I'm sure your next game will be absolutely, stupendously, GOOD !! 😜

Yes, I have had to restart games also and I don't like that one bit either. Big Fish was good that way in giving you codes for a different game but I always just wished I could play the game I was trying to play. Thanks for that assurance regarding my next game !

I also like the "Vampre Saga" series and have re-played all three over the years. They are probably not as sophisticated as those in the "Vampire Legends" series but I certainly enjoyed them - and have also re-played all of them

Well, ob, you could always play Gabriel Knight 1 and 2 - Gabriel Knight 1, I believe, is Mad's all-time-favorite adventure game. They are both very high on my favorites list, too. I would probably choose the anniversary edition of Gabriel Knight 1 at this point, though, as the enhanced graphics could make a difference, at least for some players. Anyway, I hope you get to both of them someday. Mad, I have the first two of the Vampire Saga games. I have only played the first one and that was a very long time ago. I may give it another go this year as I don't remember anything about it. Something to look forward to!

Ahhhhh. Yes. "Gabriel Knight 1" is still my all time favourite Adventure Game And I think one of my most favourite Casuals (and certainly the most re-played to date) might be "Sherlock Holmes and the The Hound of the Baskervilles"

I think I'm going to go with Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts.

Hi, Marian! I can't decide between Gabriel Knight and Tex Murphy for my favorite game series, so I'll have to call it a tie ! I even became a Big Fish Game Club member in 2009 so I could buy "3 Cards To Midnight", and then I discovered the 2 "Nancy Drew Dossier" games and "Murder She Wrote" ... and the rest is history .

Definitely, Susan! Gabriel Knight and Tex Murphy...it doesn't get any better! And I am pretty sure that I have all the casual games on Big Fish that were created by the Tex Murphy designers as well as those created by Jane Jensen. Oh, is that the connection Susan was making? I didn't get it. Is it too many games to list, Marian? I know I don't have 3 Cards to Midnight or 3 Cards to Deadtime. Mad, have some more fun! I did start Haunted Past last night. So far, so good.

Hi, Marian! I have "3 Cards to Deadtime" and forgot about that one until oldbroad mentioned it. Were there any more? I also have the ones created by Jane Jensen (one of my favorite game designers) but can't remember the names. I think it's time I played them again ! And, oldbroad, if you're reading this, you must pick up "3 Cards to Midnight" and "3 Cards to Deadtime" in the next Big Fish sale . They're casual games starring Chris Jones, and I really enjoyed them. Susan
