I have no life Just kidding. I play games to unwind after work. Usually 2 hours or so on weeknights, and more on weekends. In the summers games take a back seat to gardening, but from Oct. to May, me and my PC spend many solitary hours together.

Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill
Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger
I almost bought Message in a Haunted Mansion & Treasure in the Royal Tower when I saw them for $9.99 each at CompUSA yesterday. But I stopped myself, claiming I should play through my current ND games at least twice before buying more.
The school year is so horribly busy that I just give up on gaming for long periods of time. Even though I don't have complete freedom this summer, it's enough to justify the buying spree (which includes a couple of new CDs and books, too). Sometimes I won't go online for a day or two just so I can focus on games. I notice I get a little depressed during the school year if I don't play anything for awhile. Ever since finals ended I've had more time for gaming and have since been in a better mood. This truly is my hobby.

Unsolicited advice: buy them now while they are still available for such a good price! Haven't played Treasure yet, but Haunted Mansion was such a fun game!

I like how you think! That's how I've been treating Morrowind...just savoring every moment....and Bloodmoon will be arriving this week...sigh.
Have you played Nox? Just bought it on eBay, thought it looked interesting..

| Deleted User | I recently bought Kings Quest II, the grey box version from '84. I got it from e-bay and it just happened to be from Jim Wall's son. He gave me some pretty cool info about PQ1. Sonny and Steve are named after Jim's sons, the man on the Codename:Iceman box is his youngest son and the girl with the cloak is his daughter.

Yeah, me too. I've seen the game for only 6 euros, so if it's any good, I'll buy it too.

I thought if I waited long enough they'd be released in jewelcase-sized boxes or packaged together, like the first two games are now. We'll see how long that theory lasts. There was really nothing to indicate if this was a temporary sale or long term.

Haven't had chance to play (replay in the case of DOTT and Sam and Max) yet, but there's still the summer!! There are several I want to buy (Watchmaker, Post Mortem, the eagerly awaited Runaway if it ever appears in England) and more on my "to play" list...

I think you'll like Nox, it has some cool multiplayer, if anyone still plays it at least.

ah...okay...I thought for 9.99 they were jewel-cased (that's the price of the first two in my neck of the woods)

I hope the single player of Nox is good too...multiplayer can be fun once in a while, but it always makes me feel rushed.
My Bloodmoon just arrived, I'll be installing it this weekend..
Patvs,
That Lucas Arts collection looks very cool...is it a four game set? Is it Windows compatible?

I already own the Lucasarts Archives volume I, II and III, so I used felt I really needed the CLASSIC Archives for my collection.

Status : Online | welcome Lance! what fun you must have had buying all those games in one fell swoop! You've come to the right place for input...i haven't played many of those games, but it seems someone here has played every game ever created!
a note on Nightlong...i played this one about halfway so far, and at one point there's a serious bug....which must be fixed with a patch. What the patch does is skip a segment of the game (which sucks) but without it, the game just stops and crashes. The game is cool so far, so i got so bummed by the skipped scene that i had to shelve it for now...
Just got Anachronox myself this week..played the first few minutes...very funny, very cool, and i've heard only good things about what's to come..
I actually seem to have about half the games on your list, but havent' gotten to them yet...played about half of Alice, but in god mode, since otherwise i couldn't get out of the first part of the game! although if you can handle Hitman, i'm sure you'll do just fine...)

oh, and If you`re playing Anachronox don`t forget the new patch(which I beta tested ) that has just been released, fixes a lot of bugs.
I`m really happy to see that it is finally released after Joey`s(anachronox programmer) hard work.
