I'm cancelling my subscription to real arcade and only keeping my Big Fish one. I have one credit to use and don't know what to get (that Big fish doesn't have) I have:
Mortimer Becket
Cate West
Mystery of the crystal portal
Neptune's secret

Any suggestions?
Thanx
Margie

I haven't played Neptune's Secret, but of the other three Mystery of the Crystal Portal is my favorite. Mortimer Beckett was also good, but I preferred Crystal Portal. Mortimer Beckett has you searching for pieces of objects instead of whole objects, and then you put them back into the screen (or sometimes a different screen). If you like crime-related stories, you might like Cate West. I didn't care for it so much -- the story is decent, but I got tired of searching dumps.

I haven't played Mortimer Becket, but I have played the other 3. I agree with Jenny - Mystery of the Crystal Portal is a great game.

You might like the HOG's that Big Fish doesn't get like the Little Shop games.


Prices are going up everywhere except in our incomes.

I think I wasn't very clear. I already have the games I listed- I also have Little Shop Road Trip (thanx NYLady forgot those) I could get another Little shop but didn't know if there might be something else....
Thanx again wave

Oh. I thought you meant you have them on your list as considerations.
So you're looking for different games that Big Fish doesn't have? How about one of the Mysteryville games?

Yeah, not much interesting that they have put out that you don't already have. Maybe do another Little Shop or one of the Mysteryville games like Jenny100 suggested.

You could always get Jewel Quest Mysteries. It may eventually find it's way to BFG but maybe not for a long time.

Thank you for your suggestions. I had never heard of the mysteryville ones and both of those look interesting- I knew I could count on gameboomers to point me in the right direction! thumbsup

I'm eventually going to get rid of my Realarcade subscription also but have heard that the second Mortimer Beckett game is on it's way so I decided to wait till then. The only reason I joined Realarcade in the first place was for Mortimer Beckett

I've also been thinking about waiting for the Mortimer Beckett game- I just hope it's soon!

Hi tazmanw. Just in case you missed it here, the second Mortimer Beckett is coming out on Realarcade on November 12th.
