Just a thought. Last edited by Flo NS; 12/11/10 09:59 AM.

I also see it as an opportunity to finish up an unplayed game or replay an old favorite.

I'm just always looking forward to another game. I have some punch card credits and game credits to use up. That's what happens when you buy the Collector's Editions.

That's what happens when you buy the Collector's Editions. I too have noticed this phenomenon. Anyway, whether playing the CE or the standard version of Hound of the Baskervilles, it's a fabulous game, and great value for money!

However today I wanted to buy a game from BF and can't because its the game I own. BFG Guy PLEASE will you give those who buy CE another alternative when you just put the standard version for a game of the day. Thanks lets hope he will hear this message from all of us.

In the case the Sir Authur Conan Doyal Sherlock Holmes novel by the same name (free on the Kindle). This book is an excellent story and fun to read. Does the game reflect the original story?..... well.....not really!!! Not that it matters. I plan on playing Phantom of the Opera next and then will probably read the original book as well.

It was like another mini story. Most CEs just give you extra gameplay like more rooms, but Hound of the Baskervilles gave you something else to solve. I would buy more CEs if extra gameplay was like this. Fil There is a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. Oscar Levant

In it it states that Doyle kills off Sherlock Holmes (which people in England denounced him publically for killing their favorite "person") and then years later revives him and wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles. Said that Sherlock faked his death in order to hide from his arch nemesis and hid in Europe. Just thought I would throw this in as an aside to a game that I thought was a great CE as the added content was well worth it. Jody

It seems to "float" a little and seems really loose, if that makes sense? I have a new computer so don't know if that is causing it but I am playing another game and the cursor is normal. Has anyone else noticed this? Maybe that is the way that the game is supposed to be. Just wondering because it is taking away from my enjoyment of it.
