Wonderland "Old Timers" - Drop in and say Hi!
Please excuse the "old timer" term. But some of you have been away from the forums for a long time, and may be coming back here again in the near future. (ahem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlPrnECBcRk)
If so, please write a line and say Hello! We'd love to hear from you!

I'm also dsw on the forum. I started this new account because it had been years and I forgot my old username and I wanted to join so I could follow the POTZ updates. Recently, I found dsw again. I know I've been here as WK for a while, but I just want to say it's AWESOME to be back.

Thanks Patrick... yes I guess I qualify as an old timer coming in at no.11 on the member list. Congrats on keeping the game & community alive & well after so long.
Would be good to hear from some of the others... Pauline & Maureen, DG & Old Bear (we had some good times!)... heaps of others.
Shared a lot of good times (and sad). Just going back over some of my posts - semi regularly posted through to 2006/2007 - I came across this topic I shared when my son was born. http://pcpuzzle.com/forum/viewtopic.php ... sc&start=0 Haven't seen these photos since then! Simi's now 8, Lusi-Ann 10 while Vani - then 4 - is now... a teenager!!! aargh!

Well I'm definitely an old timer ... I turn 60 next month.
#101 in the memberlist so I haven't been here since the inception, but it does seem like a lifetime away since stepping foot in here. I've become a grandma three times since joining and hope to enroll them all into the joys of Wonderlanding.
Beautiful family Robbie.

Ahoy there Wonderland Community!
I was one of those who started with the very first Wonderland, even before RTW (though I joined here a bit later after that). It's been a while (five years-ish) since I've posted here, but I've quietly been checking in every now and then to see what was happening with PoTZ. After being a level designer for MOFI I kinda got burnt out on the WA style of gameplay, but having had to time away I'm ready to give it another go with PoTZ.
Glad to see that Midnight Synergy is still around making the magic happen. These games are often times a major source of inspiration for me as game developer. Wonderland is still one of the best puzzle/action games out there and I cannot wait to see where it goes next after PoTZ (no pressure MS).

I guess I qualify as an old timer! #50 on the memberlist and was a beta tester for omg...I can't remember which game. So happy to be playing again. We were small enough group back then we had a 'contest' of sorts to see who could match names to faces. People sent me their pictures and I made a webpage of the names and faces and we all guessed (well except for me) on who was who. It was quite fun! Anyone remember that? OK I must get back to the game now.

I am certainly an oldtimer, since I disappeared for a while, as only oldtimers can do.
Although my current profile doesn't show it, I actually joined the forum in 1928, when the internet was maintained with steam engines, and the very first Wonderland "game" was devised by mr P.'s grandfather.
I say "game", because at that time it was just a little black and white guy standing around on screen, doing nothing much. Colour was invented around 1931, yellow being the first of them, with movement not far behind in '33.
Yellow paved the way for the concept of Stars, and capitalism showed us that you have to earn them. Now it turned into a game!
The next idea was that if players want to earn their stars, they'll have to make an effort. And so Frustration was invented around 1939, in the shape of closed gates. As the buttons that were supposed to open them came to life some 6 years later, it was almost the end of Wonderland. But by that time mr P. (who's real name is Patrick) was six years old and an alert little boy. He pointed at the screen and said: "Say grandpa, you know what I could make of all this?"
Luckily grandpa was an open- and fairminded man and asked the now famous question: "What?"
The rest is history...

Ah Janet,
It was so nice to meet you last night. The Academy sure is a big place, but I found you anyway, and luckily still within opening hours.
By the way, you have the bluest eyes I have ever seen.
The hat I bought from you wás the right choice after all (thanks for that) and nicely covers the large bald spot on the back of my head.
The glasses are an extremely welcome addition and I realize, now, what a miracle it was that I even recognized you. They came at exactly the right moment too, as after the first 25 stars the difficulty seems to have been cranked up a big notch. But I'll get those Z-Bots. Not necessarily to save the world, but my neighbour is a first-rate taxidermist, specializing in metallic critters, and they will look great on my living room wall...

Given that I joined five years ago, I guess I qualify as an "old timer" to a certain extent. Though I already got into Wonderland several years before that. I just never made any posts and forgot my old password at some point, so I made a new account.
Chances are most of you don't remember me since I've barely been active these days and in hindsight, I'm pretty embarrassed about most of the old adventures I made back when I was more active than now. Most of them were really just short test levels I made while learning the basics about the WA editor, and I should've kept them to myself instead of releasing them here.
That said, while I've barely played the Wonderland series the last few years, I'm planning to buy POTZ as soon as possible. Who knows, perhaps I'll learn how to make adventures that are actually worth playing one day as well?

Well, you managed to unlurk me with a request to come back and say hi. I suppose it's been a while. I see some familiar names (popo, jg, mahaloof, mette) to name a few just in this thread alone. And Janet - congratulations on being a character! Love the clothing shop you've got setup.
Life went all topsy turvy and I fell off the map, but haven't left completely. Moved all over the country. Landed in Michigan around the time of MOFI and had a baby then, too. Then had all my time wrapped in raising the three kids and staying awake. Recently moved across the country to the West Coast so I'm back to square one in setting up the house.
But couldn't resist the release of POTZ!!! Hubby came home and asked me what was wrong. Am I ok? Am I depressed? Why am I throwing myself into a game? I started laughing and realized, only a Wonderland game can make me concentrate so hard I look like I'm in pain. But the cheering and grin when I solve the level - WAHOOOOO.
Also, 12 year old son has finally started to figure out the WA editor and is working his way through the tutorials. I can't wait to see what he comes up with.
