    Or you could just not do that. I've never been tempted to just "multi-finger mash" to get what I needed.

    Playing Forever Lost 2 at the moment and it was definitely worth the wait.

    I'm sorry because I know this isn't iOS related, but for the next three hours you can get the definitive Sierra "quests" collections (King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest For Glory) all for $25 if you have a Windows PC. If you've not had the chance to play these games, this is one of the definitive 80's / 90's adventure game experiences: GOG.com Superb Sierra Collection. Okay, I promise my next post will be about iOS games.

    Just gone done playing the free portion of A Wizard's Curse: Episode 1 (HD). The down side is that the demo maybe takes 5 minutes to complete. The upside is that it was actually pretty cool. The graphics are good, the story has the potential of being real interesting, and in the 3-4 scenes you get to visit there is only 1 hidden object sequence, so if the balance stays true to the demo it's a nice mix of HO and adventure game. I just hope the short length of the demo isn't any indication of how long the actual game will be.

    Ask GOG to port those Sierra games over to iOS...

    Yeah, I'll get right on that :) Actually, it would be the job of whomever owns the IP. I'm not even sure who that is any more. GOG.com is just a distributor.

    So has anyone tried Zombie Invasion: T-Virus yet? It's actually not too bad. It has a better sense of foreboding than Escape From The Dead, mainly due to the fact that the zombies are actually in the building with you. However, there's still no real sense of fear, because as far as I can tell they can't get you. Someone needs to check this out because I'm stuck and could use a little help :)

    So since we're on the topic of zombie adventure games, if someone here ever decides to try and write one, have scenarios where the zombies can actually get the player. Don't know how many of you remember the original Zork, but one of the best parts of that game was the tense moments in the dark wondering if the grue was going to get you or not. Games involving the zombie apocalypse should have this same type of effect. So far the only adventure game with a zombie theme I've played that has anything close to this is Paradigm Shift, and the events in that one are so random that I haven't decided if I like it or not. Anyway, that's my mini-soapbox for the moment.

    Yes, I have tried zombie invasion t virus.

    The farthest I have got is getting the axe where you start out. If you haven't made it that far, then I can help.

    If you are past that, don't give me any spoilers.

    ;)

    Unfortunately I am past that. I have three different locks I need to get past, and I can't figure out how to open any of them yet.
