Returning to forum and see lots of familiar names!

Post by Dianna » Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:31 pm

Hi, all, I just started playing Secret Worlds and thought I'd check in with the forum. I had to give up on Return to Wonderland eventually. Never did finish several levels. I enjoyed the demo of Secret Worlds and will certainly buy the game, but I suspect it may be too hard for me to finish, too. How about it, is this game even harder than Return to Wonderland.

Glad to see so many familiar folks are still on the forum. Hey Bearsland, glad to see you are back, as I may need your help!

Hi Dianna! A couple of us were wondering about you the other day! Nice to see you back. :D :D

I can't say Secret Worlds is harder OR easier. It's a good combination; however, SW has solutions on its website to most all of the harder levels. I think a big plus is that since the authors of the majority of the levels are regulars on the forum, any level you get stuck in will be answered with a solution almost immediately!

WELCOME BACK!!! :D :D

My problem with finishing Return to Wonderland had mostly to do with UFOs, as I recall. Is this game heavy on UFOs?

Hi, Janet, Monte's just fine, still cruising the streets of Santa Monica. I'm going to get him a new paint job soon.

Well, right after finishing the demo I bought the game, so I am struggling thru now. So far so good, but no UFOs yet.

Hi Dianna - I don't know you, but welcome back.

I had the same problem with the UFO's in RTWD - I can't bear them and it has put me off finishing it all.

Thankfully, Secret Worlds really doesn't have many levels like that at all - infact, hardly any spacelike levels at all - just quite good fun ones designed by the great folk from the forum.

I hope you enjoy it - I am sure you will :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hello Dianna - Welcome (back) to Wonderland.

Same as you, I had great problems with a lot of RTW and have never finished it. I love browsing the Custom levels and have done quite a few, but only the "easier" ones.

I'm really enjoying SW. The solutions are all there now, but I'm finding I really don't have to use them very much. Makes me feel so proud of myself - and also the creators that have done such a beautiful job. You think a level's going to be too hard for you, but with a bit of effort they can be done.

Gosh, Golly and Gee! Nice to see you again Di, how's the hand?

I never finished RTWD, too busy with all the custom levels. It's hard enough keeping up with them.

Tell us what you've been doing with yourself all this time. Don't be disappearing again, hope you're back to stay.

A million welcomes. 8)

We need to find Sharon now. :wink:

The last time I heard from her she was really busy.

Freightrain wanted driving lessons too, poor Sharon.

I sent a PM in December, it's still in my outbox. I have her email address somewhere, must try and find it.
Maybe something has happened to her computer or Internet connection. :?

Dianna!!!!!! Welcome back.....we missed you :D

I think it's worth getting if for no other reason.....to see the final level. The little stinkers are so cute. I don't think the UFO's have really invated this one too much to not be fun.

Hi, all! Majic, Robbie, Eeyore, MAD, Janet -- good to hear from all of you old-timers! I've been enjoying the new game a lot. I've done 25 levels so far, and no insurmountable problems yet. Also been reading a lot of posts and seeing many familiar names.

I'm so impressed with Secret Worlds! Love the map layout, so I can see what's coming up, love the very creative levels. Gotta go try to finish a couple more levels before the day really begins around here. I'll be back later. Love ya all!
