Ditto what you said, centabo! Another issue I have is ALWAYS running out of storage! The minute I upgrade, I'm outta room. Soooo frustrating! I like to have a lot of the items that take a long time to produce on hand so I don't have to wait an hour or more to get what I need, but it takes up so much space in the storage bin that I'm constantly struggling to keep room for other challenges. Ughhhh! That said....I love this game and have become quickly addicted! (shhhh, don't tell hubby, but I was up until after 2a last night playing.) ![]() If anyone has any suggestions, please share....as I'm sure we can all learn from each other. ![]() Ta Ta for now...the game is calling....

Thanks for the confirmation, SynthpopAddict. Just as I'd suspected. Guess I'll just delete the trial and find something else.

I just recently discovered Ancient Quest of Saqqarah, and got all excited about it. It was kinda cool to see you could purchase upgrades to the game to keep the quest going.
Unfortunately, it appears that this game has had it's time and the developers are no longer actively promoting or supporting the game. A Google search only brings up posts from years ago....nothing new, which tells me that it's a 'play at your own risk' sort of thing. I'd love to get into this game, but not sure I want to invest so much time on a game that in all probability would be a waste of time. Yes, one may be able to buy the add-ons, but more than likely they were developed for older Windows systems, and my not install or operate correctly, and without any support, it'd be a waste of money on a long shot. Can anybody tell me if there are plans to bring this game back to life, or is it destined to continue dying a slow death? Thank you for any and all information you can provide. Happy Swimming, LeBoof ![]() |

Just finished playing the Trial with no problems! ***Knock on wood*** Am d/ling the full version right now.
So far, it's looking real good. (Thank God, cuz I've been waiting impatiently for this next installment of what is arguably one of THE best HOG game series ever made) True to the Ravenhearst series. Great graphics, perfect music and challenging gameplay. The storyline seems to pick up where it left off, which is exactly how it should be. Someone said they were hoping this was the final chapter. Personally, I hope & pray it isn't. While I'm not sure how much further they can go....hopefully they have a few more 'chapters' in mind. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who's on the fence about it. The morphing objects are different, but a nice change. Thank you to the developers and artists that made it come together. You did a great job, and it looks like your hard work has paid off. The results are an awesome game, sure to give hours of gaming pleasure. My only warning would be to be very careful......it's very addicting! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Game loading extremely slow. Also game not in full screen. Has about 4" margins on left side & top, with floating error box saying "Input Not Supported". I tried closing & reopening, no luck. Tried next morning...no luck. Finally just deleted the game. Shame too, cuz I never got to play, and it looked like it'd be fun.

luvmymare,
I'm not sure I'm the person to help you, but if you could post a screen shot of the area you're talking about, the visual might help others know exactly what area you're having trouble with. I've gone through the game, but couldn't tell one area from another, in terms of which level it was from. Hopefully this helps you get the assistance you need. ![]() Good Luck! |

Just an FYI.....I sent a message to Customer Support informing them of my/our problem. Hopefully they will get to working on a 'fix' and we'll be good to go. Personally, I RARELY have problems with the games here, so I see this as an isolated issue, and not representative of the quality of games at BFG as a whole. I still feel they offer high quality, FUN games, outstanding Customer Service, and a very trustworty website. But, nothing in life is perfect, so the least we can do is inform them, and give them the opportunity to make things right. Thanks for listening... LeBoof ![]() |

Same exact thing for me! Like others, I very rarely have problems with BF's games. And, it's an Alawar game, and they're usually very good. Not too sure I wanna take the time for Cust. Svc. With so many people having the same problem...it's the game, not us. Soooooo, I'll just pass on this one, I guess. Thank you everyone for sharing here. It's really saved a lot of grief for us. Happy Gaming! |

Although I have barely just begun this game....DITTO what CasualGran said. She is right on the money with this one. I was maybe 10-15 mins into the demo and KNEW it was a keeper. I'm soooo glad I bought it. But then again, it's by Playrix. They are top notch, A+++. Need I say more? Love Love Love this game!!! |

D/L'd the trial. This game was so SLOW that I could only play like 10 minutes at a time. It was very boring (to me), and unengaging. The endless talking drove me to tears. And unlike most here, I found the graphics to be similar to the 3D stuff we saw years ago; Very clunky and blocky. The sound was horrid. The only voice I could hear was Sylvie's; The others were bearly audible. And the storyline....Hmm, was there one? There didn't seem to be a rhyme or reason for what you did, and the order in which to do it.
All in all, it was amatureish (sp?), and not well thought out. Again, JMHO. I've played a few Nancy Drew adventures, and found them much better than this, Although I must admit, I really prefer the HOGs like Ravenhearst, RTR, Sherlock Holmes, Briar Rose, etc.... I'm sorta new to the forums, and I don't know what an iHog, or FRog is, so I didn't refer to them as such, if in fact that's what they are. To those who enjoy having to walk around, hunt & search, talk alot and have absolutely no clue or hint....this will be the game for you. Happy Gaming, LeBoof ![]() |

Onelifesdream, I can sooo totally relate with you on the 360 stuff. I can't do 'virtual' rides, can't do the 360 panoramic movies, can't be spun in circles....none of that. We went to Epcot Center, and went to the Canada exhibit. They had a 360 movie about Canada, and I got so sick I had to sit on the floor in the corner with my eyes closed until they opened the doors. Omg, that was BAAAAD! I just got done with the trial of 'Stroke of Midnight', and while it's not 360, it's very similar. I won't be adding that game to my collection either. ![]() As for the MYST, I was sooooo excited to see your post about finding it here, I was gonna buy it w/o trying the free trial; which is a moot point since it doesn't have a trial. hehehe Anyhoo, because it's 360, I'm going to have to pass. Darn it all!!! Ever since I was a kid, I got car sick, and heck, I even got seasick on a cruise for my honeymoon. So, I know I won't be able to just get used to the effect. ![]() Thank you for sharing the great news about MYST being here at BFG, though. To those of you that will buy it and play it.....I'm jealous as heck!!! But, I hope you have a blast with it!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Hi All,
While I haven't finished this game yet, (I just got into the Library. Not sure if I'm near the end or not :/ ) I hate to admit that it's kicking my be-hind! The fact that it doesn't hold my hand is a plus, and I HATE to use hints, it's really taking me a long time to get through this. So, for me, it's one of the most challenging games so far. But, I really like it. If I'm being honest, the storyline, to me, seems disjointed. I'm not seeing an obvious or smooth transition between areas & tasks, which may be why it seems so difficult; the story is too hard to follow. However, I feel the graphics are phenomenal, the sound effects are good, and the music is spot on! All I can say is that after all this....the ending better be worth it. LOL Others have mentioned a predecessor, so now I'm gonna have to go check it out. Oh darn! hehehe ![]() Definitely worth a try!!! A+ |

In my first review, I didn't mention the live actors. But I must agree with the few that prefer the drawn characters. Having the live people just doesn't seem to fit, and I'm much rather it stay the way it was. They distract me for some reason. And Safarri...you're right about the cleaning lady's wig. What is up with that????
OT: In regards to a sequel for RTR....I'm all for it. I think that's probably their crown jewel of the MCF series. Just my 2 cents. I'd really like to have gotten the CE, but, until they allow us to use game credits for them, I'll have to settle for the SE. Just can't afford both. ![]() |

FINE SWINE!!!!!!
This game is much like RTR. And I loved that game! The game play is good, the pace is good, with one exception...for me: I can't get through the puzzles!!! Not sure if you can skip them; didn't see where you can. Because of that, it can be very frustrating to proceed to the next level. Other than that, I would highly recommend this game. It's tons of fun, and lots of bang for the buck. ![]() As a side note....I'd love to have that house. Although...the kitchen is a little small. ![]() |

Hi All,
Boy, it sure is nice to see that I'm not the only one having problems with this level. It's been frustrating me for weeks!!! Grrrrr ![]() I'm going to try doing as you've suggested, and leave money on the counter. I'm ready to pull my hair out, and this looks like it's definitely worth a try. Whew!!! I really like this game, and will be very encouraged if I can find a way for my feeble brain to figure out how to progress to the end. hehehehe Kelly B, you mentioned having the right TV channel on helps. How can we tell which channel is the best? Thank you all for contributing to this thread....it's really offered hope to those of us that needed 'a little help from our friends'. ![]() |

Ok,
I've played this game 4 times now....I think. Could be 5. I am absolutely HOOKED on this game!!! I hope they come out with another game in the series. I'd love to see them add items that we can find for bonus rounds or secret areas. That'd be a BLAST!!!! (PlayRix, if you're reading, PLEASE continue the journey!) ![]() ![]() Anyhoo, at the end, during the credits, it says that by finishing the game, my name ( or any players' name) is now entered in the book. Ok, which book, and where? I've looked all over and can't find anything. Is it referring to the Mage's book? If so, do we have access to see it? It's driving me NuTz!!! LOL Please let me know if you've read the same thing, and if you've found anything. I had to sit through all of the ending credits. (It mentions the name being in the book near the end of the credits). TIA to all who respond, LeBoof ![]() |

I agree. I tried it just for yahoos, and now I'm hooked! I've just started the game, so I've not yet advanced to the upper levels, but I can't wait till I get there. I'm fighting with the Factory, and I'm only on the 3rd level. ![]() ![]() I hope others can get past the name and cutsie graphics, cuz it really is a ton of fun! |
