The Scruff's

Anyone play this one? So far 20 mintues into the demo, I still like it. Have tried the demo's on Amazing Adventure and P.I. the lottery ticket, but wasn't too impressed with them. Thanks ladies for the recommendation for Mortimer, it was a great game, just too short!!!

Hope you are all having a nice Easter.

I love the Scruffs. It's a lot of fun except the rather bad jigsaws (think cheerful Ravenhearst). The family is nutty, the voices are well done and the ending is a real surprise. I am hoping for a Scruffs 2.

Oreo, what are these big file adventure's like?? I've seen Mysterious Island and Sherlock Holmes mentioned. Can't seem to really get a handle on what they are like.

Hey I played the Scruff's & liked it. Played the other two and hated them. They're so long and it's the same levels over and over. Very boring, I wouldn't recommend them. Hope this helps.

Lisa--
Edna is probably a better source than I am, but let me try to give you some basic info. They are games where the gamer plays as a character: Sherlock Holmes, Nancy Drew, Carol Reed and other main characters. The character interacts with other characters and their environment.

As the character, you must talk to other characters, search the scenes, discover pieces of the puzzle and objects used to escape a room, solve a puzzle, etc. One game I saw recently, I think Voyage, the character had to generate oxygen or suffocate in a spaceship. Usually the actions are complicated and a wrong step may result in the character's death. The walkthroughs recommend doing a save game just before undertaking a dangerous task. That way if the character dies, you can start again from just before the task instead of the beginning.

Dream Chronicles and Azada though not officially sims play a little like sims. One difference is that the game path is not set. Each gamer must navigate through the game and perform a series of actions to solve the mystery.

If you like the demos then try a game from BFG. If you hate it, you're only out $6.99 - 9.99.

I liked the Scruffs, a very good game to use for a break, enjoyed it really got stuff on the last part (again help from the grandkids) lol

Sims are long, I guess thats why I like them, oreo explained it the best. role playing, solving problems and finding out the answer to the mystery. Just my style. The games are not over in an hour or two or even three. But for me they are a lot of fun. Been on a lot adventures lol in Voyage my character fell off the mountain so many times, I know every bone in his body should have been broken, but had a lot of fun.

Well, finished the Scruff's, it was very enjoyable and I highly recommend it. Anyone know when BF is going to get Dream Chronicles 2?? I played the first one a while ago, can't remember where I got it though!

The adventure games sound too hard for me, I couldn't get through Escape the Museum without hints!!!!

Lordy, what to play next?????

Yeah, the Scruffs are good. I'm still hoping for installment 2 at Scrufford!

Hey, as far as the sims and Escape the museum go, isn't that part of the fun--being challenged? Try some demos and if you decide you don't like them that's fine. But don't let how hard they are defeat you. Besides there are always walkthroughs out there for when you can't figure something out.

Azada and Dream Chronicles are mini sims in a way. So if you like them, ask Edna for a recommendation of a few easier sims to begin trying. You may end up as hooked on them as she seems to be.

This is a fun game. Story is ok ... not too much chit chat. Didn't have a problem with graphics. Didn't need a magnifying glass to find objects. LOL Good length. I added this one to my BFG account when it came out. I recently replayed it when we didn't have any new HO games out. OK replayability.

Hey, Can anyone tell me what you do when you finish the Scruffs game and you get to the part where the jewels are flashing? I dont know what to do. I have tried to do them in the sequence they blink but that doesnt work. How do I open the safe? Thank you

dkayep, the colors are randomized so I can't provide a specific list. The main thing is that the sequence will always repeat. For example, the first one might be red. So, the 2nd will start with red, let's say red / green. the 3rd will repeat the 1st two and give a third -- red / green / blue. You can set up a letter code for each color R, G, B. then as they appear write them down. I don't remember there being a time limit. If not, take your time and keep trying. Good Luck.

The scruffs is the most funnest game hope u finish it

yer so just PM me if u need any help on the scruffs


happy swimming

This was the first BF game I bought...Am on the third time around...although u lose th.e suprise ending after the first time...Still love it as does my 12 yr old nephew and 8 yr old grandson....I would recommend it to anyone who just wants to have a good time without a lot of stress

Any word about when the sequel or new game by the same publisher will be out?

This is my favorite HO game.

This game was so much fun ... I loved it....

Did not expect a whole lot from this game in the demo, but right after I finished playing the hour, I went ahead and bought it. Really nice graphics, items are a challenge to find, which I enjoy. Nice ending of the story too! I give this cute little game a big THUMBS UP!!
