Yes, it is good you diodn't give up or you would have missed a great
game.

XP is what came on my computer when I bought it two years ago.  The
only reason I have XP Pro now is because the company that I work for
went to a digital system and for the software that they needed to put
on my computer, I needed XP Pro so they upgraded it for me.  Otherwise,
I never would have done that.  I, actually, saw no difference
whatsoever between XP and XP Pro but I'm sure there is something in the
inner workings that's different and I figure since the game didn't work
before but did after, that is why.  I'm not sure about it, though.

I wouldn't say its a real difficult game, but

I agree with you about the timed sequences.  I don't like them, either.
Like you said, maybe someone does but I couldn't imagine it.  Maybe
they think that putting something like that in an adventure game will
make it appeal to a larger audience.  I kind of doubt that it really
does, though.

I am a a point right now that I think I need to use an object on a
specific item and every time I click to use it, the game quits.  I have
left to do other things and came back to it and it still does it.  I
hope it's not going to stop the game.  I would just hate that.  I'm
very glad to hear that the game is long.  I figured it would be kind of
short and not last long.  I'm enjoying it too much for it to end any
time soon or stop because I can't use an item!!
