Yes, Mary, I'm sure you'd remember me. :) The only other name that comes to mind was Rik who used to post a lot. I don't remember Rik. I am usually good at names, but I would have to think about it. It's been quite a while now since it was busy here. Off the top I remember Jenny, Barbara from Holland, Paula, Mick. >I'm playing Tesla but only when my daughter is here. Very clunky >interface! There are hints included in the game but they aren't always >terribly helpful. "Clunky" is a good word for the interface. It took me a while to get used to but I still have to stop and think what place I should click on. I don't know why they made it that way. I didn't find the hints in the game very helpful either I also find the keyboard and mouse awkward. I've used them in games before and I get used to it as game progresses but doesn't mean I like it :). I finally solved the puzzle I was stuck on. It took a lot of patience and repetition. If it takes me a long time to solve a puzzle or I find it too difficult I don't always have patience even with a walkthrough. I used to have a lot more patience when first played adventure games in 1990. Computer games were new to me then and I was younger :).. >I'm enjoying the re-mastered GK1 but find myself getting stuck. The hints >made it sound like the Grandma's house comes up on Day 1 but it didn't show >until Day 4. Now, I KNOW I should be buying a mask for $100 but the guy >won't sell it to me. Plus a place to have jewelry made isn't showing now. >(sigh) This should be easier! :) Played it many times back in the 90's. >Plus, I believe I have played over 200 adventure games so I sorta know what >I'm doing. I think my old age is making me less patient! LOL! I played it several times too but not for a long time. I didnt get it. How different is it from GK1? I liked GK2 and 3 better, but GK1 was quite good too. I too probably played at least 200 adventure games and a few adventure/action.
