I like hidden object games and love the King's Bounty series: The legend, Armored princess, Warriors of the north and Dark side.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year with a still from a short movie that is nowadays projected on one of the many canals in Brugge (Belgium). Part of the Winterglow light & sound festival.

The canal is about 15 meters wide so that you may have an idea of the size of the swan. The projection is not on a screen but on water spray curtain!!

The host is MacBook pro 13" late 2017 running MacOS Montery 12.4

Here is a guide for those interested:

1. Download and install VMware Fusion. Go to this page and register the free version to the right.  You will be led through some tedious field fillings (name, email, password etc) but eventually you will get an six digit activation code for your new account sent to the email address you provided. Fill in the code in the form and you will get a registration key for your copy of the VMware application.
2. Download the 10.5 server from this page:
   a) The ISO image (it will have the ending .cdr don't worry about that). DO NOT DEVELOPE THIS FILE AT ALL!
   b) The Rich text Format (for the serial number needed for installation of the server).
3. Run VMware (enter the registration key when prompted) and drag the ISO image ending with .cdr onto the window (see 1. image). Click continue.
4. You will get another window (see 2. image). Just click Finish here and click Save on the next window.  You will get a small window with info about Mitigations. Just press OK.
5. The installation will start.  Just follow the screen instructions.  Eventually you will be asked for the serial number, open the RTF and use the number provided there.
6. When the server is up and running, you should install the VMware tools, which is on the VMware menubar (see 3. attachment, greyed out because I have already used it - should be selectable in your vm) but actually installs onto the Leopard server.

I must start a new message to be able to use more attachments

I can't get the registration to work on my home computer. Emails remain unanswered.

MMII has become vaporware, and I loved it even more than the original.

This has been my favorite game for a decade now, and now I can't play it. This makes me very sad. ]]>

If not, it wouldn't be a bad idea to create one. It's not even that hard. If the admins here agree, but don't know how to create one, I can help set up a discord server.

Me, for example, I use that app daily, so it would be so much easier for me to reach out to the community via discord. Im sorry if this sounds like advertising, I really don't mean to do that ;D but I thought it wouldnt be a bad idea to ask.
Having a discord server for fans of the game I grew up playing and loving for so many years doesn't sound that bad to me and I am sure some of you here will agree.

(If one already exists, post an invite link in the replies here since I can't find one anywhere  Undecided)]]>

Originally a video was required as well as a live timer to submit a run. This is inconvenient for people who do not easily have access to the tools to do this.
Now, all that is required to get your name on the leader board is a screenshot of the victory screen, with the mansion name and time included. In game time is now the primary timing method for the game, and individual levels are shown on the front page instead of full level runs.

It has been a long time since I posted anything on here.. so I guess it's about time to change that Smile

I wonder, is anyone still here? If so, how are you doing / what are you doing these days?
For me, I have recently gone through all of my old files again on the old Mac and porting some of these onto my Macbook which is still running Ok-ish. Seeing all of those good times I had with the game kinda brings me back to the old days, of course only this time I'm speaking/writing english a lot better. Still remembering the time I used google translator or some other translators cause I didn't know how to reply back in english sometimes, and of course it all ended in a very bad english since those translators weren't exactly this good.. but still, I guess most of it went fine.

So, the reason behind changing my nickname to Chippy, (old nickname was Mikee), is actually quite simple, this is the nickname I use for almost every Game, if it's not taken already, since more than about 4 years, so I just wanted to leave this here for those who were wondering why I did that Smile

Let me know if you are still here, because I kind of miss the old days where this forum was more lively than now. At least I'm glad this forum is still here though :3]]>
