    Yep, that was one that I didn't get to before iTunes started to flake out on me. I think there were four new Microids releases. Unfortunately two of them were old 3 part games repackaged into one offering, which again saw the removal of the individual parts (annoying since I owned the parts to both series). The other two appear to be new offerings focused around the Atlantis mythos.

    So here's the second part of my list:

    Escape - Trapped in Spaceship
    PerfectEsc4 (iPad)
    PerfectEscIV (iPhone)
    Atlantis: Evolution
    Atlantis: Evolution HD
    The Secrets of Atlantis - The Sacred Legacy HD
    Dracula - The Path of the Dragon
    Dracula - The Path of the Dragon HD

    Unfortunately I could only provide an AppShopper link to The Secrets of Atlantis at this point because it appears to have been pulled from the U.S. App Store. Too bad, because that one sounded kind of interesting with a 1937 setting and all.

    While I love the immersive gameplay of Microids, I am always hesitant as I always find there's a glitch somewhere. Case in point being Atlantis2 which I'm yet to finish due to being stuck and unable to go forward into the last setting. When I say stuck I mean...there's something incorrect going on with the way the last quest allows you to move to the next.

    So...I'd love to play these new games but would hate to find myself with a game that has a glitch again.

    Not to mention, they're also large downloads.

    Pilot Brothers HD


    Have a great day!

    Just installed this before I came to work. Hoping to try it out either tonight or tomorrow. In the mean time I've been working on Spirit Walkers: Curse of the Cypress Witch HD and really liking that one. The story's decent, and it stays closer to the adventure game / mini game motif than a hidden object game. In fact I think there have maybe only been two hidden object sequences so far.

    new teaser images for Tesla's Electric Mist

    I just added some more teaser images to the other thread for Tesla's Electric Mist.

    In the game, Tesla (in the late 1800's) conducted an experiment that went terribly wrong. The outcome was very bad for the townsfolk in Colorado Springs. In the 3rd chapter of the game, as you wander around the town you'll see eerie electrically charged ghost-like images of the townsfolk. Here are a few teaser images of what they look like. Hope you enjoy.

    You can see the new teaser images at the post above.

    Man, now I definitely need to get hold of that last beta. The version I played wasn't far enough for those pictures yet. Those look pretty awesome!

    Hey, guess what? Big Fish is having their "look, it's another holiday" sale right now. Also, The Room is currently on sale for $1.99.

    So I started playing Pilot Brothers tonight. I really like it. The atmosphere is best described as goofy, with some really funny moments surrounded by what could be best described as a Tom & Jerry cartoon (and in case there's some weird reference I'm not familiar with, I'm talking about the cat & mouse team). The graphics and animation are good, the music is decent, and the sound effects and voiceovers are well done. The game itself can actually be somewhat difficult, though once you've completed a puzzle it will usually seem obvious. There are no hidden object scenes, and it's actually more like a puzzle game held together with a story, because you start each room empty handed and end each room that way. There's no cross-over inventory, at least so far. This definitely goes in the "win" column for G5.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've seen that one before :rolleyes: In fact, I think it was re-released a couple of weeks ago under another name as well. Guess they'll never give up trying to fool people on that one.

    I personally only consider an adventure game to be where you're trying to get from A to B.

    Not hidden object or puzzle games. But none the matter, this is quite an accomplishment of a list.

    I actually don't necessarily disagree with you. However, there was a time when that basically would have meant that there was nothing on the list. Also, there is such a big thing about hybrids these days that you almost have to be willing to blur the lines a little bit. In the end if you ask 3 different people you'll get four different ideas about what an adventure game is, so we just do the best we can :)

    Oh I whole-heartedly agree. It's difficult as hell to try and pin just about any game to a specific category

    Would anyone like a promocode for Forever Lost?

    We're trying to get people to Follow and Like the games Twitter and Facebook pages respectively, so I'm not saying that doing that is the only way to get a code, I'm simply implying that it certainly won't hurt your chances ;)
