After I published this entry I remembered several games I'd played that were left off. I thought WW was very well done, if a bit short in the main plot. I'd definitely be interested in seeing more of that sort of game, perhaps with an increased level of difficulty? Or at least a bit longer with more goals to accomplish.

I was wondering, since it looks like you enjoy RPGs and you've enjoyed Emerald City Confidential, and many other PlayFirst games - have you tried Wandering Willows at PlayFirst? http://www.playfirst.com/game/wandering-willows Casual roleplaying with cute animals, plus crafting, leveling up, quests with a sense of humor.

I never actually played it. :) And yeah, their titles are so similar it's hard to remember. "Did I do The Curse of the Cottage, The Mystery at the Manor, The Secret of the Shanty, or The Intrigue of the Igloo?!" * * not actual titles :) I *think* I had a recent Nancy game which one simply installed, but it’s possible that one also had to keep the CD in.

I like them quite well. I've also had Murder on the Orient Express for quite a while and haven't gotten around to playing it yet. The problem with the Nancy games is that they're typically from a CD which I hate mucking about with. Also, I cannot remember which ones I've played and would hate to go to all the trouble to acquire one and discover I'd already done it. I’ve played a couple of the Nancy Drew games, yeah.

Our library also has some of the Nancy Drew games, which are pretty fun. I seem to recall you've played at least one, though, right? Hm, interesting.
