Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
Thanks everyone. It's getting better as the days go on.
Anyway, I finished Ballad of Rapunzel. It was an okay game. I thought the ending was kind of dumb. I liked the Thumbalina story for the bonus chapter. However, I found a lot of the fragmented HO scenes to be a bit tedious this time around. Especially since we kept going back to the same few locations over and over again.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
The codes still worked after midnight so I used my 2 GCC's and got:
Awakening: The Redleaf Forest Collector's Edition
Hidden Expedition: The Crown of Solomon Collector's Edition
I also used 2 PCC's and got:
Fantasy Mosaics 2
Fantasy Mosaics 3
I've completed 60 levels of Big Kahuna Reef 3. I'm going to set that game aside for a while and play Fantasy Mosiacs 2.
I still have to find 4 more games in the next 2 weeks to use pcc's on.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
As Tirama said the codes still work so I got 6 CEs:
AWAKENING: REDLEAF FOREST
HIDDEN EXPEDITION: THE CROWN OF SOLOMON
GRIM TALES: THE VENGEANCE
MYTHS OF THE WORLD: OF FIENDS AND FAIRIES
SHADOW WOLF MYSTERIES: UNDER THE CRIMSON MOON
SEA OF LIES: NEMESIS
I'll probably go back later and get a couple of SEs with PCCs. Did I need any of these games? Probably not, but I am looking forward to playing them (especially the first 2).

I restrained myself and only got the new Rite of Passage and new Hidden Expedition.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
There's a new Amaranthine Voyage game coming out. 
Amaranthine Voyage: The Shadow of Torment
Because of your expertise with the otherworldly civilizations, the respected colleague archaeologist Charles Winfield invites you to unravel the secrets behind the seemingly supernatural happenings that plague the area. You arrive with your protégé Victoria who seems to be enthralled with the enigmatic surroundings, and as you delve deeper into the edifice lost in the forest, you discover a gateway to the world on the verge of destruction.
Do you have the courage to take a leap of faith and trust the prophecy that only tentatively speaks of world’s salvation? Will you not flinch as the shadow of Torment engulfs everything around you?

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I played Mysteries and Nightmares: Morgiana today. WOW, what a fantastic game! 
About 5 hours of superb graphics, great gameplay, heaps of original puzzles (about 31) and some challenging HOPs (about 15). I definitely recommend you try the demo and see if you like it. 
It's by a developer called Little Games Company, located in Prague, Czech Republic. As far as I can tell, this is their third game, the others being Zulu's Zoo and Nightmare on the Pacific (2010). I've played the latter and really liked it.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I was almost going to pass that one over Stusue, but I'll demo it on that rave review.
I'm sitting here waiting out a pretty impressive storm. One dog has been trying to squeeze his 130 lb self on to my lap, he hates the storms. Poor fella. Lots of lightning so I've turned the computer off for now. But I did have a full work day, now I'll be working in to the night tonight. Oh well.
I played some more of EAP House of Usher, I'm really enjoying it. Lots to do, graphics are good, story of course is good. Thank goodness for the map.

oscar -- Hope your storms die down soon. Poor dog! Friends of my parents had a St Bernard who thought he was a lap dog. He wasn't allowed up on furniture so he'd sit on your feet. 
Thanks stusue. I was going to take a look at that one. I've played the other 2 and enjoyed them. This sounds like it might be a bit too ambitious for me unless it has a WT.

Mysteries and Nightmares: Morgiana sounds like a good game. Thanks Stusue. I'll have to give it a try.
Started playing Rite of Passage Perfect Show. Seems fun so far. Played about an hour last night. Playing it with my mom so going a bit slower. Tying to get her into these games. We'll see lol

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2014
I just finished HIDDEN MYSTERIES: THE FATEFUL VOYAGE -- TITANIC. I really enjoyed it! Like all the HM games there are a limited number of places you can go at any one time. And BFG has WTs (which I used 
). There's even a bonus chapter that talks about what might have saved the ship. Very well done and enjoyable (IMO).
