stusue I really liked the first Sacra Terra. I can't remember the second, I'll have to check and see if I've played it yet.

I saw in today's game someone was complaining that it wasn't really a game but part of some other game, anyone here know if that is so? I haven't played the game she is referring to. MIT would probably be a good group play game NiBiRu.

Oscar, i finished the first Sacra Terra this afternoon and loved it, especially being a relatively old game.  But I thought the morphs (wasn't it one of the first games to have them?) were very well done.  I even liked the HOSs, even though they were junkpiles.

As for today's TGT, yes, it's NiBiRu with HOSs added.  However, someone said that Icarus Games (since 2011?), the name of the developers on the game, is younger than NiBiRu (2010?), so maybe they've bought the rights or have changed their name or something.

I haven't played either but I've played the demo now for both and they're definitely the same game, albeit the new one has HOSs.  I don't know how else it's changed but someone said that it was much smaller.  Maybe it's been "dumbed down" for the casual, non-adventure game players, as you were actually specifically told what to do on the middle difficulty level and the one puzzle, if you could call it that, that I played was SO easy!  The little I played played fine for me with no problems but it seems that a lot of people are having problems with slow loading screens, etc.

Ok I don't like Royal Envoy, because no matter what I do, past the 12th level, I can't get gold anymore and I like TM games to challenge myself and this one is too challenging which I do not understand since so many people love this series and even the people who don't like these kinds of games like them. I have the 2nd one too, maybe I'll like it better. So basically Im playing it untimed even though it is timed because I can't beat anything. Good thing you can still go on. The rent and banks aspect throws me off.  I have no idea how its possible to get 25k in the time you need in the swamp level especially when the houses sink. Ok rant over. I will play but not for gold, just to play because the gameplay itself is fun.

The first Royal Envoy is the hardest, the other ones are easy in comparison.  I believe people have posted instructions from the strategy guide, I was very glad I had the CE version for the 30 extra levels and the guide.  Youtube is a valuable tool, too, they have video walkthrus of everything, just put in Royal Envoy swamp and they all come up.



Im going to try not to buy anything else this month as all my coupons now expire in december. Even MCF because if its anything like last years, I will know to stay away..

On PondFriends they have links to all the betas.  I played a little of the new MCF and it seems pretty good, they went more back to the way it used to be.

I finished Howlville: The Dark Past on hard mode and this is really a hard mode.  No black bar tips and no sparkles at all.  I really had to search a few spots for that cursor to change into a magnifying glass.  Hardly any wandering around - just a scene or two or three until you get to the next part of the game. Hints are in the form of a lightbulb that you will need to find.  HO scenes were interactive and they lasted throughout the game. Ending was blink and you will miss it.  I really like who I had to defeat at the very end of the game.  When I first saw it I was like Oh, Wow.  Not sure what I am going to play next. 

Husband really got into Spooky Bonus.  I think he is up to 51 so far on relaxed mode.

I played NiBiRu last November.  I can't believe that they would recycle it like that.

Hi!  Wow you are all finishing so many games!  I'm still plodding along with the bunch I was playing last month.  I played BRUNHILDA several years ago and really enjoyed it.  I feel like Meg -- I gave up on ROYAL ENVOY too.  I do have the CE for the 1st game so maybe I'll try that (some century).  I'm playing SPOOKY BONUS in timed mode and doing quite well (for me).  I've had to replay several levels but I'm still enjoying it.  I do prefer relaxed though.  I think I WILL be able to finish FAIRWAY TEE TO PLAY.  I'm just having to replay a lot of courses to get enough money so that i can unlock the bonus levels.  But I'm enjoying it.  I played part of the Beta of MCF: FATE's CARNIVAL and really enjoyed it.  I will never buy ESCAPE FROM RAVENHEARST because of the downright disgusting things in it.

Barre, I'm playing Heartwild Solitaire as an in-between game.  If it's been awhile I space out about the mini-game part and the timer is going while I'm sitting there looking at it stupidly  I'm also playing Fairway Free to Play, Zombie Sollitair, and Strike Solitaire.  I guess I should settle down, pick one(or even two) and stick to that.
  I played the first Sacra Terra this year.  I hated it because it had sooo many HO scenes.  I bought the second onebut havean'tplayed it yet... I loathe this keyboard
  I loved all the disgusting things in EFR   Actually, it made me feel quite sympathetic towards Charles, and when I entered the room with the spanking machine I almost cried.  I felf bad for Charles in th original ravenhurst, too.  Emma is just a teacher from the states and he is supposedly upper class British, she seemed to be in love with him but when he proposed she turned him down after leading him on all that time.  It was the last straw for him, drove him insane.  I dunno, I just might be some kind of a weirdo
