Computer Games

I'm not much of a gamer, but a few years ago I got Prime Suspects. It's a Hidden Objects game. It took me 8 hours to eventually find the diamond! At my last attempt, I was down to 3 hours.

Then a friend got a new PC with some preloaded games - 1 hour trials. After a not-so-nice remark, I found the 1 game... it was/is the mother of all Hidden Objects games - Mystery of Mortlake Mansion. It took me about 12 hours to finish.

 

Darkest Dungeon

Turn-based strategy RPG heavily steeped in Lovecraftian cheese.

Awesome. :major

 

I have been playing Fallout Shelter.
It is an android game but I have been using Blue Stacks on my laptop.
The game is a SIM and isn't very high in the excitement ratings but it is a bit addictive and you can leave it and come back and it has still been playing in your absence. When you have played for a while it becomes fairly predictable
Playing it keeps the Fallout interest going for me until I get my pre order copy of Fallout 4 in November :cool

 

Yes, they are a newcomer.

And that is not a game for the faint or heart or stomach. The stress mechanic is disturbingly realistic and unforgiving... this may be the only game I've ever played where sending your character off on a drinking binge in a brothel is good for them! (It relieves the stress...)

 

Took a break from the intensity of the darkest dungeons and installed Mystery of Mortlake Mansion, since I like hidden object games. Now to play it and find out if I like it...

 

That sounds inviting...

Please let me/us know if (or when roflmao) you finish the game... :-D

 

I think it probably is a good thing i don't play hidden object games for the complex story and stellar voice acting... that said, it was fun, and when all is said and done, that is what matters.

 

I totally agree.
BTW Did you finish the game? It's a :***

 

I did. A little predictable, but it was fun and the puzzles were entertaining.

 

Darn you Mimsy....... saw Mystery of Mortlake Mansion in your previous post and loaded it up Just spent the last couple of days addictively playing through to the end and yes there was stellar voice acting (especially the raven and ghost) .....not roflmao
Although the story concept was interesting but cheesy

Now to get Mortlake Mansion 2............rolleyes

 

They are actually very good compared to what you get if you set the main character to female...

Yes, I know. It's a frightening thought.

Wait, there is a sequel? Huh.

 

Hmmm.... I might play again as female to get the full effect LOL

Bad news on the sequel I downloaded Mystery of Mortlake Mansion 2 and installed it and it was the same game again just incorrectly named rolleyes
I sent a note to the free game site I downloaded from so now I will see if they correct their error so nobody else gets caught

 

I had the same experience with another game.
Great Secrets - Nostradamus and Hidden Secrets - Nostradamus are the same game.

BTW joffa and Mimsy, do share your game download sites.

 

Howdy Eldon pm sent as I don't want to post links to external places on the forum that aren't already tested safe by MGs :cool
We already have plenty of links on MGs here

I like playing the Super Nintendo Legend of Zelda hacks. You can download snes emulator and games for free!:-D

 

Thanks Laura and here are a few sites :cool

I play a few rounds of Wordchuck every day (usually with my afternoon coffee) on the Agames website. Sometimes I also play Hidden Express or Dominoes here when I am waiting for something to complete and I have already done my emails and checked MGs

I often download new games from some of these sites just to see what are the latest game trends

There are many more sites that fell by the wayside like Happy Puppy (everyone from the 1990s would remember them) but these ones are most of my current picks that are relatively safe (some have ads etc):-D
Enjoy

Thank you Laura and Pete.
You're input is invaluable to this thread.

BTW If I'm not doing my job, I'm playing games... :-D :cool :wave
