I did Marian. I usually like something about each game I play and I was able to do all the puzzles by myself (for the most part). I had all the information for one of them at the end but was not quite putting it in the puzzle correctly. I looked at UHS hints and saw where I was going wrong with it. Well, I did get help from the "task list" also, to be honest! Hopefully, it will not take me 3 years to play Shadow at the Water's Edge. ![laugh laugh](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/laugh.gif) Once again I tried Real Myst and it is just too dizzying for me to play but I also tried Real Myst Masterpiece and possibly will be able to play that one as I can control my movements better by using the keyboard for moving and the mouse for looking. I have to take it a little farther into the game to see though because there are some areas in the game where you really have to go around and around. We'll see. I started a replay of Sherlock Holmes: Secret of the Silver Earring last night and played until I got stuck. I may start something else also but not sure yet what. I have a couple of games in mind.

I made it to Chapter 2 tonight, which means I'm not moving along very fast but I am moving along. I'm doing a lot of trying everything, everywhere.
I like the game quite a bit but I found two things that I didn't like but I may be wrong about them. When I encountered a puzzle and didn't know it was a puzzle until I was in it, I was not prepared for it and tried to back out but, as far as I could tell (though I may be wrong) there was no way to back out. I clicked something I thought would back me out and it solved the puzzle. I didn't like that at all. The fact that there is a solve button is good but not when you don't know that's what it is and aren't trying to solve it. Possibly I missed seeing it say "solve" as I think I did see a "solve" button someplace else after that. I do tend to panic when I can't back out of a puzzle though. I didn't think to go to a prior save at that time but probably would have had to replay a good bit if I had.
Then there was a different type of puzzle that I didn't do quite right but one of the items that I needed was gone then and nowhere to be found (that I could see anyway) so after I figured out what I did wrong, I had to go into a save (which I had thankfully made right before attempting the puzzle) and then I was able to do it. If going into a save is the only way to try the puzzle again, I don't like that either. It's not like you die and get a second chance; you are still in the game and it seems like you should be able to find the item and try again.
Edit: Well, I see a Steam post that says I should have been able to find that item again but I know I looked where the poster says and I didn't find it. Good thing I didn't have to replay much though.

I am planning on starting one of the Legend Entertainment games this week, maybe Companions of Xanth or Shannara. Looking forward to replaying all of their games in the coming months. Are you going to play them on an old computer, or some other method? The only 2 that I have played since my old XP computer died are Death Gate and Mission Critical, both from GOG, and probably using DosBox.

I was playing Firmament but stopped during the summer - The game is good and I will probably pick it up again as summer winds down. In the meantime, I just started VENARI - Escape Room Adventure. Very good game with excellent graphics and game play.
It's not the years honey, it's the mileage!

Venari is a very good game. I posted it about 2 weeks ago when it was on sale. First I had heard of it. Now at $5 it is still a very good deal if anyone is interested in it M9 Games
It's never too late!

Yep Orion - totally worth the $5.00 - I highly recommend this game ! ![thumbsup thumbsup](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/ThumbsUp.gif) Oldbroad - I am sure you have seen this walkthrough site.. Memories Retold Seems to be very complete - I did not yet get this game - but it IS on my list. I wish there was a way to save games that have this method of saving. It would be easy for the developer to do -- just lazy I guess ![duh duh](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/duh.gif)
