Since the previous "what game are you playing" thread has been closed this month (on July 3, 2012), I think it's time to start a new thread - the newer, Number 2 Version of that thread. 

You guys go first. Post away, please.

Prof Layton and the Miracle Mask.

Very fun - love it so far.

Ahhh.... after this crazy last week the arrival of my eBay "A Quiet Weekend in Capri" is just what the doctor ordered...

Some people didn't like that game but I enjoyed it.

"The Testament of Sherlock Holmes." It's on the X Box, not the PC, but it's really good.

I'm hoping to get some more new PC games soon.

Installed Capri in Win7 and received error - missing MSVBVM50.dll. Web searched, it's a Visual Basic 5.0 dll, so I copied the file from my XP folder into the game folder and the game started. Only problem was a large black box where the intial menu screen should be. Some blind clicking and I was able to actually get things going but since I wasnt sure if I was missing anything critical I booted out to XP and tried it there.

The game started just fine XP just clicking on the exe. I figured out what I needed to be doing with the menus and so forth, then booted back to W7. I could get past the black menu obstacle okay but savegames acted flaky. So now I'll just play in an XP session.

I have only scratched the surface and don't know really what I'm supposed to be doing yet, but so far it's quite spectacular - and my god it makes you want to visit Capri!

Ciao, Tincup
