I played the hour demo and I'm still not sure it's worth $2.99 to me. I can still get it tomorrow. I had to consult the walk-through 4 times.

I bought both of these games on Friday and have finished all the but the very last chapter in Azada - Ancient Magic. Hope to finish it tonight.

And I am an oldie too. :) LOL.

Worth the buy.

I finally got around to playing GH's Mystery Stories: Island of Hope. It took me about 6 tries to get through the first several levels with all of my hints intact so I had enough to make it through the higher levels. I think I'm on Level 26 right now. I wish all of the extras were hints to find objects and not extra time or points.

I never finished the original Azada. I got stuck on one level where I can't even figure out what I'm supposed to do in any of the games.

Hi Maud, I can quite understand!
Yet, it is too bad as I can really recommend this one; BETTER than the original Azada in many ways.
I HOPING that they might re issue the original Azada without a timer; THEN I would have half a chance at finishing IT...LOL!

Yes I have one gamehouse game I haven't looked at yet(It is a Samantha Smith one)

Games are VERY addictive, but we are keeping our brains sharp and this will pay off as we get older!
:)

I talked myself out of it, Merri! I have games learned about in this forum which I've downloaded and not yet played, plus some from GameHouse I haven't yet played, despite the fact that they've had repeats and some which don't interest me lately. I figure time enough to acquire the new Azada when I've played what I've got. Perhaps they will offer the deal on it again at some point. Games are addictive, aren't they? Once you've started acquiring them, it's hard to stop!

Welcome,WR!!
I am just starting the ,"azada magic", and loving it.
I never DID finish the orginal azada, because of the timer..
As SO many have said, it is hard on older folk who don't play well while under pressure..
:)

Thanks for the info Merri; already got both, but it's always great to see them posted here.

WR

I am just thrilled that the game creators listened to their audience, and made the game available with a relaxed mode..
I haven't gotten it yet but probably will today.
Did you get it?
:)

Thanks, Merri! Azada was one of my favorites of the games I've acquired so far (as a previous Big Fish freebie). I've just finished saying on another thread that I never buy games, but for a sequel to one of my faves for only $2.99, I'm thinking about breaking my rule!

Not sure if any of you wanted this or had missed seeing this on the big fish page...
I have azada but think that I MIGHT get the Ancient magic game( I think they say that it has a ,"relaxed mode", which is right up my alley..lol!)
