Todays game for Club Members and Daily Game Splash Members, tomorrows game for all.

It's tomorrow! Treasures of Mystery Island.



Margie has a walkthrough Here. (Thanks Margie!)

As always, please remember to come back and tell us what you think.

Happy Gaming,
Ana

There IS a demo available if anyone wants to try before buy!

I downloaded the demo from Alawar a week ago! Just google to find the page.

Sadly I can't say anything about the game because I am playing Mushroom and Veronica right now and never got to the demo but you know I am going to try to play it today.

Linda

I hadn't noticed till you said that Linda. Odd that they would not give you a demo. I do know that those that played previously really enjoyed it so I think it's a keeper anyways.

Ana

Yes, the demo is on Alawar's site here.

I think BFG doesn't offer demos for games that are over 100mb. Which IMHO is understandable for larger casual games.

Great game again, thanks to BFG :)))
I played the Demo, and enjoyed, now have it from BFG, and enjoying it (well sometimes I am tearing hair out ;))
Lots of things to find , to use to find other things

I have never bought a game before without playing a demo. This time I did. Just to let those of you who have not played the demo...there is no timer, no penalty for excessive clicking, and the hints regenerate quickly. I think it's a winner.

Joan

I just played the demo from Alawar. It's great. I'll get it at BF though.

Are my eyes and mind sharp enough to escape Mystery Island? That promo is certainly TRUE! It's another Mortimer Beckett style game and I'm still recovering from Magic Encyclopedia. Nevertheless I bought it on the spot this morning as soon as I finished my first cup of coffee.

I love the little trailers that BFG is putting on their games now. It's so much more informative than the screen shots. I didn't even need to try a demo because I recognized the format just from the trailer. This game is a sure-fire winner which makes 3 in a row for BFG in the interactive/HOG/locked objects/travel all over the world and run yourself to death back and forth between scenes genre. I've only played for an hour so far but I love it already.

I'm in a quandary - actually a BAAG emergency. I just bought ND Haunting of Castle Malloy last night. I was ready to download it and start the adventure when my e-mail arrived with Escape from Mystery Island as the Club special for the day. The BAAG disease flared immediately: "Must have game, must play game, forget laundry, forget sinkful of dirty dishes, forget vet appointment, forget work tonight, play game now, play game now." Should I go to the emergency room for some shock therapy or just give in to the overwhelming desire to play this new game?

Awwww ScarletD, just give in and play it (Except for the vet, take a break for that)



I may be mistaken, but I thought the only games that BFG does not do demos on are the Large File games--which are full adventure games. I see them occasionally listed in with Casual games

Edit again: I'm confused. Am I looking at the wrong game? There is a demo on BFG for this. Maybe they were late in getting the demo up????

Oh weird, maybe they put it up later. Who knows?

Thank you, Joan! I was unsure about buying without a demo but your description makes it sound like something I would enjoy.
It is so reassuring to read what my friends on GB have to say about the games before I try them.

Is someone leading me astray again ? Ana, are you in cahoots with BFG guy ?

Are you supposed to be able to switch the heads of the statues at the cave entrance somehow? I can't go any further until I do something. The only things I have are a head and the arrow, and I can't put the arrow on until I do something else, but don't know how to put the head on, if that is what I am supposed to do. Any suggestions?

Oh my! I think I'm being led astray again. I wonder just how many games I'm able to play at once?

Well, I had to uninstall the game and when I tried to re-install it, all I got was an error message, so the game won't install again.

Tammy, did you reboot after the uninstall and before the reinstall?

I just tried that now and got the same response: Installation Error: The downloaded installation file is not valid and could not be run (771).

I sent a message to BF, but I don't know why it ran okay the first time, and not when I re-installed it.

Hmmmm, well, that sorta sounds like a problem on their end. Let us know what they say, if you don't mind.

Tammy, try using a different profile name when you re-install. That worked for me on a previous game. Good Luck!

Joan

Oh something beginning with B. Big Fish have got in a muddle & my payment won't go through so I have no game credit so cannot download. It has not been a good day ... Have emailed them & wailed loudly.

Ahhhh JennyP, I hope you get this straightened out ASAP.

Edit:I just went to see if I could download and noticed that the game is "greyed out." I think there is a problem and BFG is on it. Looks like we will have to be patient

Big Fish are usually brilliant, L4L. Fingers crossed. Keep trying to pay but they say my info is incorrect.
Think I will give up & open a large grape juice !

I just d/l it and it worked fine - EXCEPT FOR ONE THING - half way through the installation, it stopped, said "validating", and then continued to d/l. I hope this one is going to work, but after reading the above comments, I'm not sure if it is going to work properly all the way through the game.

Yes, I will let you know what BF's response is to me, that's no problem.

It definitely said, "no demo" this morning. Possibly they changed their minds over at BFG.

But I don't care for it so far. It's no Mortimer Beckett in MHO.

Will play out the demo before I decide though.

Linda

Yup, BFG changed it later today to play a free hour now.

Tammy...I'm getting the same thing, except that it says "validating" at 2% then tries a couple of more times and I get an error. Gonna write BF and see what they say.
