Hi, everybody.
   I'm in Vermont this week, it's supposed to get down to 26 tonight!  Heading to the coast, and it's supposed to be nice all week, even the 10 day forcast, well, nice in them parts is low 70s.

  I've been trying to play Treasure Seekers Visions of Gold.  I am so totally bored with it.   I think this is the third and most recent in the series, but still rather old.  It's the circle kind, but it's really hard to even find the circle.  I was going to Dex it, but decided I would do one room a day.  Each room has 4 or 5 circles.  I'm hinting my way through.  Usually I like circle games, but not this one.  I didn't really care for the others in the series either, but they were bright and shiny way back when they came out.  It's kinda neat to play an old game, even if it sucks

Hey, Wendy!!

I hope you weren't at that CT carnival where people died on a ride.  

Congratulations on picking up the old games and trying to finish them.  You are a bright shiny example of a Finisher.  A role model even.....

Finally finished Sally's Salon and I gave it 4 stars but I was being generous. Anyone brand new to TM games, I definitely recommend this one to you! Its fun but its also easy so even with the timer, you don't have to frantically run around like some other games. I didn't play the last level because the last 4 locations with nothing to upgrade made it extremely repetitive and boring but for a newbie, this game would be a great teacher. 

Im playing detective quest-crystal slipper SE and I really don't like it much. I like putting back items in hidden object scenes but I wish there had been some variety and not all of them this way. Its also a game that has a lot of areas where what to do makes no sense or I have tools that could be used for what I need to do but they don't work. I can't use a scalpel to cut open the couch, I need scissors? Anyways it makes this game tedious and the map is the only thing holding it together. So many locations with obscure stuff to do. Amazing I thought this was a dessert game. I don't even remember demoing it? 

For bonus punch monday, I got:
Strange Discoveries-Aurora Peak SE
Echoes of the Past-Kingdom of Despair SE
Burger Shop 2- I know its old but I couldn't decide! I thought I wanted League of Light dark omens SE but then the reviewers said I should go with the CE so now I have to demo it again to figure out why I wrote I didn't want the CE LOL it has collectibles/achievements so what exactly was my reasoning? LOL

hope everyone has a great week. I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. OH YAY!

Congratulations on finishing Sally's Salon!    Sorry you don't like Detective Quest: Crystal Slipper.    Hopefully it'll get better the more you play. 

I was undecided myself about League of Light: Dark Omens and was going to get the SE.  However, after trying the demo on 2 different computers, I really liked it and decided to get the CE because the collectibles are all different, which I love.  You look for the same object but it might be the real thing, or part of a painting, or part of a sculpture, or a piece of furniture, etc.  So you have to search for it in each scene as you're never sure what form it will take and what it will look like.  So I got the CE but, of course, haven't played it yet.    That's one of the reasons I only got the Myths of the World: Chinese Healer SE - because the one collectible was always the same.

I already have Strange Discoveries: Aurora Peak SE but, like you, I also got:
Echoes of the Past: The Kingdom of Despair SE yesterday, as well as
Dance of Death (even though it didn't get many stars I really liked the demo)
The Snow
Imperial Island: Birth of an Empire.

GOOD LUCK AT THE DENTIST TOMORROW!!!!  I hope it's only a checkup and not for something like root canal therapy (which my sister's in the middle of atm and suffering terribly ).

Oh, I just saw the post you made while I was typing this ... the jigsaw pieces are for a jigsaw you do in the achievements room.  I forget what you get when you finish it but you can put the pieces in as you find them; you don't have to wait until you've finished and have them all to start doing the jigsaw.  And that's just reminded me - there are also trivia questions as one of the achievements that you also do in the achievement room! 

Well, I did it ~ I finally cancelled my membership, feels really strange after being a member for almost 5 years but I have so many games, it is ridiculous to keep buying more.  If it was only the one credit a month that would be OK but it's the allure of all the sales.  I spent most of the morning reviewing games to use my PCC's/CSC's on, ended up with 12 new games and 3 hanging chads which most likely will just be left hanging.  Started out with one punch and with it being BPM, just couldn't get it to even out. 

I finished Botanica, been playing Imperial Island and decided to start on one of the games I got yesterday.  Anybody ever played The Tale of The Lost Bride and A Hidden Treasure.  I noticed the name when I was looking in the game forum for something else.  Basically it's a HOG with mini games/puzzles. Some called it a "charming kid's game" with a nice music track and PZ had posted two or three times, overall it got more positives than negatives.  It's got teeny tiny items that are difficult to spot at times but you have rechargeable hints (never ran out) and the playing screen is filled with forest greens that hides things too well some time.  You have these three or four forest animals that keep a running commentary of help tips and I will only play it in short bursts as it can get hard on the eyes.  I enjoyed it though and kept thinking about it after I quit so glad I got it.
