This is the BEST MCF game in existence. It was the first game that caught me with a jump scare. It's my favourite and I literally cannot find it anywhere to play it. PLEASE!
I recently started replaying the MCF series, but my journey ended with Dire Grove because it isn't compatible with newer PCs. Dire Grove was a true Adventure game that allowed the player to roam freely in search of actual clues that weren't simply slapped up on a sticky note with the code/answer as they are in current HOPAs. It has amazing Hidden Object Scenes and puzzles that are designed to make you think.
Mystery Case Files: Huntsville was the first game in the series and the first Hidden Object game to ever hit the market. Adrian Woods was the genius mastermind behind this incredible series until 2013. If you play the series in order, you can literally witness the transformation from HOG to HOPA with each subsequent game.
Adrian Woods introduced us to Rube Goldberg puzzles, Morphing Objects, those infamous Gadgets, Hidden Object Variations (silhouetted shapes- Progressive Interactive, etc.) Interactive aspects and Character Interactions, Animated Graphics, Live video, the ability to roam freely from scene to scene, the Inventory Bar with actual Tasks to perform by finding and using Inventory Items, Journals, Maps, and so much more...things that we take for granted nowadays!
Everyone deserves to have the ability to play Dire Grove because they just don't make HOPAs like these earlier Mystery Case Files games, and everyone should have the opportunity to play or replay the series from beginning to end!
I had played this so many times growing up! it was one of the best MCF games I had ever gotten to play with my mom. I would absolutely love to play them all if they were released on here.
ActRaiser 2ActRaiser 2 is a side-scrolling platform game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System developed by Quintet and published by Enix in 1993.
The game is a sequel to the original ActRaiser, but the storyline is not directly connected to its predecessor; however, many plot details suggest that ActRaiser 2 may actually be set before the events of the original ActRaiser, or takes place in another universe entirely. Otherwise, the given story draws concepts from the famous religious epics Paradise Lost and the Divine Comedy.
Unlike the original game, which alternately combined platform game sequences and god game sequences, ActRaiser 2 is only a platform game.Action Fantasy

Quest for Glory V: Dragon FireAfter having survived the dangers he encountered on his previous journey, the hero travels with the wizard Erasmus to a Greece-like country called Silmaria. Its king was recently murdered, and, according to the land's traditions, the crown will be given to the one who passes a contest known as the Rites of Rulership. The hero enters the contest, aided by Erasmus, Rakeesh, and other old friends. However, as the competition progresses, contestants are being systematically killed by an unknown assassin. All the victims are murdered near the Dragon Pillars, which keep the Dragon of Silmaria in captivity. The hero must investigate the crimes and save Silmaria from a grave danger.
Dragon Fire is the final game in the Quest for Glory series. Like the previous games in the series, Dragon Fire is a hybrid between puzzle-solving adventure and role-playing game. The player talks to the world's inhabitants, gathering clues and items necessary to acquire in order to complete the quests and advance the story. Unlike all its predecessors, Dragon Fire has no separate battle screens; the action-based battles take place on the exploration screen, utilizing a simple point-and-click interface, similarly to Diablo. The game has heavier weapon and armor management than other Quest for Glory games, strengthening the RPG angle.
Many quests are optional or can be completed in different ways. The hero can also marry one of the several major female characters in the game, provided the player does the right thing to impress the girl.Action Fantasy
