15 minutes was all I could stand before uninstalling. Not only was it boring, the curser was very touchy when attempting to click on the "eye" in order to perform some type of function. Got tired of moving the curser around and around in order to be able to get the "eye" to stabalize so I could click on it.
As you play, there is writing near the top of the screen with information, however, I found the font to small to read easily.
I don't recommend this game.

Top Secret Finders
Welcome to Top Secret Finders. Your first mission is to save a small town, uncover the truth about a government conspiracy and stop the villain in his tracks!
This morning I played the demo and when the hour was up, I purchased the game and continued playing to the very end. The story, HO scenes and the games kept me entertained and happy...which is a good thing.
When the mayor committed suicide, I would have preferred not seeing the mayor actually blowing his brains out. I believe the dev's stepped over the line a bit to far.
I believe as a society, we are slowly being de-sensitized to gore and guts. In and of itself, the scene was no big deal, however, it is another miniscule piece of a very big problem. I wish our youth were not being raised in an era full of graphic gore, murder, drugs, etc, as just another everyday event to be ignored...or explored.
This is just my opinion and sharing how I see things.
Other than that, this is a great game and I recommend you give it a try.
I recommend this game!

Marie Antoinette and the Disciples of Loki
Investigate and foil the conspiracy against Marie Antoinette!
I cannot imagine who reviewed this game before BF decided to add it to their list of games.
First of all, the games makes no sense.
Second of all, it's very boring.
After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try and see for myself. When I was unable to go further than putting a blank piece of paper back together, I decided I had enough.
I don't recommend this game.

Inspector Magnusson: Murder on the Titanic
Unravel a tale of murder on the RMS Titanic. Help Professor Magnusson solve puzzles and expose clues to piece together evidence of a dark conspiracy!
This is not a difficult game, but relaxing to play. I play a LOT of the HO/Adventure games, and sometimes I enjoy sitting down to play a straight HO game, just because it's different. When I am in this mood, I like not having to figure out where to go and find what needs to be done next.
Makes for a nice change.
I do wish they had not included so much dialogue.
I recommend this game!

Spirits of Mystery: Song of the Phoenix
Reunite the Dragon and Pheonix Kingdoms to stop the evil witch!
As far as I am concerned, this classifies as one of the very best games I have ever played!
The game took me several hours to play and I did get my $ worth, no doubt about it, however, I was still sad to see the game come to the end...I wanted it to just go on and on...
Most of the time, I need to refer to the WT more than I would like to. Playing this game, I did need to use the WT, but I found that I didn't need to use it nearly as much.
The game is exciting and the graphics are great. The dev's of this game did a great job in creating some new HO games that were imaginative, impressive and different which I found very refreshing.
I am seriously contemplating getting the CE version and see how it is different from the standard game. This will be a first as I normally don't purchase the CE series.
Give this game a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
I recommend this game!

Runaway With The Circus
An endearing 1930s love story set around a traveling circus.
I love this type of game. This is a straight H O game with alternating H O and mini games. Mini games were not hard, but fun.
The biggest drawback for me was the size of the objects. Try as I might, I just was not able to see the objects because they are just to small, at least for me. If you have no trouble with the size of the objects, then you will enjoy the game.
Cannot recommend this game one way or another. You will have to decide for yourself whether or not you are able to see the objects in order to find them.
To bad everything is to small. I would have enjoyed playing this game.
