I d/l The Fool this morning. Ready for when I am done with my current game, I'll know to play this one next. For 3 years I have passed this one by while looking for a new game and it is about time I finished it.

I would LOVE to do this since my oldest unplayed games go back to April, 2009! BUT the two from that month are THE SERPENT OF ISIS (which I tried once or twice and never got anywhere) and LOST IN THE CITY (which I've heard is quite long). I just don't have the time right now. 
It's a great idea though.

I remember really loving the first Serpent of Isis. And I think I played the other but don't remember much about it. Are you getting ready for your trip?
I finished the HE game off and I'll start Shades of Death tonight. I have a couple of older games but they are those really long Amazing Adventure ones and Solitaire which I play a bit here and there. Plus one TM.
So what is out time challenge on these? I know you put a date somewhere I'll go back and look.

lilyr...Your Serpent of Isis sounds like my Mystery of Mortlake Manor. I started it twice already and never got anywhere with it either. I fizzle out on it in the first chapter and it doesn't seem like it would be a bad game to play, but I can't seem to get into it.
oscar...The time limit is at the end of September. Is that too long, you think? I put at least a week for each game and some extra time to do betas, demos, new games, keeping up on the f2p games.
I was hoping to do this in October too. I still have lots and lots of unplayed games that I keep passing over in favor of others. I'll Probably will just make it up to 3 games and all categories in October.

My 3 are:
1. MCF: Madame Fate (12/20/08) - Finished 8/22/14 and got all three tents unlocked-yay! (2nd time played)
2. MCF: Return to Ravenhearst (2/20/09) - Finished 9/7/14 - Wow, that was a hard game!
3. Azada (5/25/09) - Finished 9/27/14 - loved it but timed sure made it tricky, thank goodness for orbs!
Actually, my next on the list is Hidden Mysteries: Civil War but got it on the same date for $.99 but would rather do Azada.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

WOW!! I've played both of teeitup's MCFs and AZADA. I sooo wanted to like HM: CIVIL WAR but the hints were few and far between and some of the items were soooo tiiny. It's the only HM I don't own.

Sun - if the time frame is shortened it might be too tight for people with not a lot of time to play, so I think it is a good manageable goal for most.
I started Shades of Death and it is a bit of a harder game in terms of where to go, but I am really liking it. The puzzles are pretty straightforward and there is a fair amount to do to move on in things. Atmosphere is good, same with the graphics and story. Two thumbs up, if you haven't played it give it a whirl.
