Hi again!  Sorry I couldn't post back right away.  Lately I've only been able to access these forums once every week or two.

It's funny but that title 'Fate of the Starlords' sounded sorta/kinda familiar to me after I read what you had posted on it, so I was looking through my owned games list and found out I had purchased it.  Hehe, this must be one of those games I've yet to get around playing, but bought it long enough ago that I forgot about it.  I'm guessing I have the much easier to find version 3.2.  Same goes for Wyatt Earp's Old West.  I bought a copy of it long ago but never got around to really playing it.  I think I tried installing it but had some issues.  I remember it not being an adventure game at all, just a cheesy shooter game.

So Mediola developed Woodspell?  Hmm...I wonder how many games total they developed as a company.  I had just assumed they died an ignoble death after finishing up 'Who's Fat Lou?' [Image Can Not Be Found]

You really got me interested in VOID now!  I have it on my ebay list and am keeping my fingers crossed at this point, hehehe.

Really the only information about 'The Romantic Blue' I've heard about came from one source.  He runs the http://adventurepoint.co.uk/ website, and he posts on some of the adventure forums as Llewellyn.  Here is what he emailed me about the game.

"  The Romantic Blue was a game produced, early on, by William Fisher of Last Half of Darkness fame. I've asked him for more info, but he says he has very little. Screenshots are extremely scarce. I have one on my website of a bride over an afforested canyon, and that's it. I have some game info. on there too. If you find any more let me know, and I'll put them on the website. "

The only real mention of 'The Displacement' is on Boakes' website:

I don't own a copy of 'The Displacement' but am looking for one. [Image Can Not Be Found]

That's a great pic Scout!  Do you have a higher resolution version available?  I spent some time trying to identify all of the games in that bookcase, but some of them are just too fuzzy.  What I admired about you in your buying days is you wouldn't ever be satisfied with just the cd-rom's or a jewel case version.  Nope, you always went all out and hunted down the full boxed version!  I have quite a few games in that pic that are without box, heh, like Galador, Blue Heat, and Mode.  I can easily spot the crown jewel of the collection sitting pretty right in the middle of the pic in that cool red box.

  Hi folks,

  Just dropping by to say hello. Haven't been around much due to some family things. Haven't even updated the website for ages and ages. But I felt like saying hello to some old pals, so here goes. [Image Can Not Be Found]

  Has anyone found any gems lately? I know that at least some of you are still looking for the elusive 'non-existent' games. I managed to find a boxed The Blobjob recently, so I'm happy that at least one of my never ending quests is at an end. Got a couple of others too. But this one is by far the most satisfying. No idea when I'll get time to play it though. Hopefully this year. [Image Can Not Be Found]

  Anyway, good to talk again. Hope everyone is well and happy. [Image Can Not Be Found]

  Help! I've made two posts to this thread in the last 24 hours. The thread title page shows that i made posts but when I look at the thread, they're not there.

  I thought something was odd when I couldn't get ANY of the reply (nor reply with quote), buttons to work at all on the 2nd page of the thread. I could only get up the post a reply box from page 1.

  But, i see nothing when I look at the thread. Wallymian's "Duh" post is the last one I can see.

  I've cleared my cache and cookies and even tried using Firefox browser. But no go. Any ideas please? I don't know the exact words of what I wrote last night, but it was to with asking if anyone had snagged any rarities lately.

  Help if you can please. Thanks ...................... and ......................... hello everyone!

  Gelert.

  P.S.; When I 'do the math' and post this reply, it's very likely I won't be able to see it. Only YOU can. Weird! [Image Can Not Be Found]

Hi! I can't see this post, but I wanted to let y'all know that I'm having to do something (probably), daft. As I can't see anything after Wallymian's June post, I'm going to (probably, probably), start another thread with the same title to see if that works. A daft idea maybe, but I'm stuck for a solution otherwise - and Scout! I can see you've posted from the thread title of last poster, but I can't see your post so, if it's any sort of reply to me I apologise for not answering it. I can see everything in all the other threads .................. weird!

  I've P.M.'d Steerpike so I'm being an even bigger pain in the arse now. [Image Can Not Be Found]

  Anyway, here's my post to Steerpike (summarised), to see if anyone else can tell me what's going on with the funny page.

"Hi! With reference to that problem I'm having on the one thread, I've noticed something. Remember I said that, on page 2 of the thread, if I click on Reply to thread/post, nothing happens, and I get NO white reply box? Well, on all other threads and the 1st page of that thread, it appears to be okay. BUT, on that page two, when I click on reply to thread/post, not only does nothing happen, but a yellow triangle, with an exclamation mark in it, appears in the bottom left corner of the page, with Error On Page written next to it. This doesn't seem to happen on any other thread nor on the 1st page of the thread. I still can't see my post on that thread, and I want to talk to people on it. Bwahahahaha! ................. I'm a right pain in the arse, aren't I?  [Image Can Not Be Found] [Image Can Not Be Found][Image Can Not Be Found] [Image Can Not Be Found] [Image Can Not Be Found]

  I may as well start another thread on exactly the same 'Have You Heard Of This One?' subject, and see if it runs okay. Is that okay with you?

  Thanks.

  Gelert."
