Did I mention Gog to you a while back or do you mean I mentioned it here on 
this NG? I don't think you've posted here for a long time.

Actually, I didn't care much for UAKM though some of it was ok. It seems to 
me it had a lot of timed tasks or puzzles. Pandora did too with that running 
into electrical wires, but not as many as UAKM and from my point of view, 
Pandora had a much more interesting story and puzzles. I seem to remember 
UAKM being difficult to get around.

Was Rook in UAKM? I seem to remember the chocoholic from Pandora directive. 
He's in Tesla Effect and is the manager of the Ritz instead of Nilo. Nilo 
was funnier with his insults to Tex..

Yes, I have almost finished the Beach part.

Yes, Louie is quite funny. He's lost weight since Pandora. I think he says 
the Maif part like U.S. slang from the way they might pronounce it from New 
york city - The Bronx? Or maybe Brooklyn?. Can't remember.

I can't remember a lot about Overseer except to remember it wasn't near as 
good as Pandora Directive. I kept Pandora and have played it several times, 
but I gave Overseer away as I knew I would not likely want to play it again.

It says in a walkthbrough you can skip puzzles, but I'm not sure you can 
skip them all. I am using a walkthrough with Tesla Effect. I just passed the 
part about baseball cards.  I used the walkthrough. very tedious puzzle.
