Much like <i>Space Quest II</i>, I feel that <i>LSL II</i>'s humor kept me playing when a less-funny game would have had me quitting in frustration. My second-least favorite Larry game (<i>V</i> is my least-favorite, but I haven't played it in a while...maybe I'll give it a whirl before you get there.).Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16946742995687817751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-25193215198479904582012-07-02T09:55:55.614+10:002012-07-02T09:55:55.614+10:00I was out of town for a week, so coming back to an...I was out of town for a week, so coming back to another correct guess is awesome. Too bad I missed the deadline for guessing on Manhunter (especially since I could've gotten 30 point), but since I haven't played that one anyway, I don't really know whether it's good or bad.

Just to remove any confusion, if someone bets 10 points and gets it wrong, I'm removing the points from the potential spend total and not their all time earnt total. Likewise, if someone trades points, they're trading their potential spend points and not points from their overall earned companion points.The Tricksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419316208187255801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-80127527355200520692012-06-27T19:33:12.779+10:002012-06-27T19:33:12.779+10:00My take is they're good, but they don't li...My take is they're good, but they don't live up to the originals.
