Thanks Jen!

Ir’s Easter special!

Started playing “Inked” - love the artwork and feel of the game. The gameplay itself is not revolutionary (to me so far) but that’s not a problem. What I’m finding difficult is manipulating the objects so the hero can proceed - why can’t Aiko be helpful?

Sorry to hear this news - she will be sorely missed.

Just finished playing a port of “Lost Horizon” on my iPad. As far as I can remember exactly the same gameplay as on the PC version. Only niggle was that the screen was slightly cut off at the sides, causing a little fun right at the end of the game where some hotspots were barely acccessible.

Thanks all interesting to see what you put! I may try Twitter one of these days.

Just asking out of pure curiosity. I’ve never followed anyone on Twitter, not even US presidents. I’ve never looked at Instagram. I do check Facebook but like once a day. I realise I may be missing a lot out there!

Well done Ghostlady on solving the puzzles to get a game onto Steam! How complicated is the process? How much of a cut does Steam take?

My first computer was a Commodore Pet - I thought it was amazing when I got a 220K floppy drive!

I liked the bitter sweet atmosphere of "Keepsake" more than I liked the disorientation of moving around the castle. I'm currently replaying "Lost Horizon" on the iPad which is holding up playing other games I want to get to!

Thanks for the feedback Phlebas and Ghostlady! There are oddities with naming like Riven is a sequel to Myst. One could name it "Myst 2:Riven" but then people will expect to find it in an index under R.

As some of you I maintain a database of links for Adventure games. Currently this database not only has entries for games but also series / groups of games (like the Broken Sword games for instance). I’d appreciate people’s comments on whether grouping games is worthwhile if they’re all named in a s...

“Keepsake” had a lot going for it - shame if I remember correctly the developers were discouraged by negative reactions they got from some people.

Thanks Colpet for that list, and for mentioning appunwrapper!

Happy Belated Birthday Val!
