I'm just repeating what Google Maps said.
I wasn't laughing at your comment Tirama. Just had to laugh at the concept of Seattle without traffic. The city wasn't built for all the people that live in or travel through it (due to all the tech jobs).

Phew! Finally finished Nonograms: Wolf’s Stories and got all the stars. Didn't get the hints achievements because I don't use hints in nonograms. Enjoyed it a lot, just wish I remembered to change colour when I was supposed to!
Lots of reading since my last post. Interesting stuff. GH is great for someone like me. To be fair to them, there's only 57 removed games. You can still play the discontinued ones with your Fun Pass or if you bought them you can still redownload them. It's just the removed ones that you have to contact CS.

Is there a list anywhere of the 57 games? I'm curious to see if it's a complete list going back to when a significant number of my games (in 2004) did a disappearing act, or whether the list is periodically trimmed.
As to whether 57 games can be categorized as 'only'... I would have hated to see the vitriol thrown around in the former Chit Chat Corner of the Big Fish forums if Paul Thelen had done the same thing.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2016
I've completed the first 20 tasks of the Castle Challenge in MC. Only 10 more tasks to go, but the third 'decathlon' is the toughest. Probably won't get much time to work on other games.
Finished 40 levels of Christmas Mosaic Puzzle. Only 80 more to go.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2016
I was looking for something to play and started the demo of MYSTERY OF SARGASSO SEA. I got 1/2 way through it and wasn't liking it all that much. According to the Forums, the only walkthrough is a malware site. I was going to delete it and then played the rest of the demo. I think I'm catching on to how to play it and I'm enjoying it. I didn't get all that far (Romanova's cabin) and have no idea how long it is, but it's definitely worth a PCC.
Tirama -- There was enough of a dust up in CCC when BFG pulled that game (DEADLY HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS?) because someone said there was a rape scene. From what I read in the forums it wasn't an actual scene and maybe only a rumor (in the game). There was a lot of heated discussion from people who were enjoying an "adult" game (no fairy tales, cute helpers, etc) vs people who wanted the DEVs and everyone who liked the game at least banished. Of course these were comments from many people who had never even tried the game.
I have to agree that, if MY games were in the 57, I'd be really steamed.

Try and imagine if that had happened when BZ and BF parted company! Or if we woke up one day and Elephant or ERS or Eipex games just went poof and disappeared from our purchase history!
Maybe, just maybe, we're looking at the reason why BF buys the rights to the intellectual property when they do a deal with 'their' developers.

I found the list here:
I do know what you're all saying. Mighty annoying if you'd bought one! No idea how far back it goes being relatively new to GH.

Tirama -- Really good point about BFG buying the intellectual rights to games!

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2016
Yes, Lily, I'm sure TiramaSue has hit the nail on the head and that's why BFG do that. GH just have the license from what I can understand but I guess that's why they can afford to do the Fun Pass. I was wondering how GH could make enough money to offer it!
