I just finished Dire Grove.  What an excellent game.  I was enthralled the whole way through and I think I liked/appreciated it this time more than the first time I played it.  It was great how the tapes add so much to the atmosphere and how they contain some clues.  The main actress was really good; I looked her up, she's been in a few things but nothing I'd ever heard of.  I had to use the walkthru a bit, but not too much, considering.  Whatever I play next will be a let-down so maybe I ought to toil on in Motortown.  I really want to play Fate's Carnival now

Oscar, that is so good your mom likes these games, especially the nonograms.  I'm around older people all the time living in a Florida RV park and playing shuffleboard.  I've seen a lot of people with Altzheimer's and Parkinson's.  It appears to me that the people who keep their minds active keep those diseases away, or at the least, keep it from happening for a lot longer.  With shuffleboard in particular, you need hand/eye coordination and you have to do a lot of strategizing and it just seems to keep all those neurons and synapsis stuff in good working shape. 

I'm almost finished with Motor Town.  Then a good news/ bad news situation happened.  You have a funnel and a candle in a closeup.  As soon as you take the funnel the closeup closes and you don't have a chance to take the candle, which you need to finish the game.   I'm missing a candle so I guess I goofed up there because I remember taking the other candles.  I didn't realize it had this glitch until I came to the forum looking to find out where the last candle was.  So I sent an email to CS and hopefully I will get a coupon for a replacement game.  I told them I wasn't enjoying the game enough to replay it, and boy, ain't that the truth  I would not recommend this game although I read a lot of good reviews, that's why I bought it  Oh, well, I'll always have Dire Grove ...

I'm back from trying Fairies.  I don't like that one either.  It's M3 but you make matches by sliding the whole entire row or column.  It just didn't feel right.  Anyone else ever played this type?

I have finished When in Rome (TM). It was OK. The best thing was that it had relaxed mode.

Tirama, I also have Mahjong Towers Eternity but I was so angry/sad because I reached the next highest rank (I think it was called Lightening Pig), and the next time I was going to play both my username and rank was gone  zip,nada. I tried to restart the computer, reinstall the game, but nothing. Then I dexed it.

Wendy, I also have Fairies. It was one of the first games I bought along with MTE.
I finished it in Classic mode, but never in the Adventure mode, where you got the pictures (wallpapers ?)
The matching is a bit weird, but I remember I loved the graphics.

It´s from one of my back then favorite devs, some French guys Emmanuel Marty and Jerome Grandsire. It was they who made the first Azadas before it was sold to ERS.

Oscar, I feel for you with the numbers.  When I write down my numbers in the carnival I have one page that says how much was made in each game and another page that says how much was made by each person, since we bring in money from both games.  It's usually only 6 days, and the numbers still don't equal out half the time.  It takes forever to fix it. 

Sunshine, I just started Mystery Legends Phantom of the Opera, it's on your list.  I think I just played the demo part and was saving it for dessert but I guess 3 years is long enough to save it. 

ETA:  I've played over an hour now and still remember things so maybe I finished this one already.  That's fine, though, I'm going to keep playing it.  The HOs are a real bee-otch.  The cursor is a finger so you always think there's something for you to do.  It's a little slow going from scene to scene but there's something about the game that I just like.
