Since people wanted a walkthrough, I created one.

Bugs:
Found that shift didn't work when entering name but name came out all capitals anyway.
Game crashed when trying to run in full screen. I could play in windowed mode but with the tiny items in the HOG it made the game much harder.
The game has numerous spelling mistakes.

Walkthrough:

Amy's House
Find keys in hanging plant.
Open door with keys.

Hallway
Enter room on right.

Press switches in order (from left), 7, 3, 6, 1, 4, 5, 8, 2

You now have a crowbar and are returned to hallway.

Kitchen
Click on right door in hallway to enter kitchen.
Click freezer section (top) of refrigerator.
Notice the year on the note, 1987.
Exit back to kitchen.

Take note of the tiny lights at the top of the device. The easiest trick is try each digit five times and see which ones light up. 30554 worked for me but I don't know if it's random. I don't recall seeing written down anywhere.

Michael Summerset, 2 years later and the game still crashes on full-screen upon clicking the ok button. Also dunno y the sound and volume sliders r all the way to mute, but for those having sound issues check ur options.

Reply | Comment by Christy Parker – 2 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

ETA: Doing anything to the settings crashes the game. I just tried turning the sound and music sliders up in windowed mode and it crashed my game when clicking ok. So if I can't hear the game sounds then what's the point of having the game? I'm uninstalling it.

Christy Parker,

Hi Christy, did you check the FAQ's thread over in the game discussion sticky section? You can access the forums via the link at the bottom of the page in between Contact and Blog.

It may be that the games native screen resolution doesn't fit with your monitors resolution. You could try temporarily changing the resolution to a lower setting. (Just a suggestion).

Christy Parker,

If my suggestion in my last reply doesn't help; try downloading the game directly from Toomky Games. The one we get from the giveaway is basically the same game. you can see the download link on the giveaway page; alternatively, you could google the game using the key words of the title of the game plus Toomky Games.

Reply | Comment by Whiterabbit-uk – 2 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

Whiterabbit-uk, that's exactly where I got it from and gave me all the same bugs and errors everyone else seems to be getting oddly enough. I downloaded 2 others from the same site with zero issues.

Reply | Comment by Christy Parker – 2 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

Christy Parker,

Hi Christy

Have you checked the event logs? If you check them immediately after trying the game, you may get information that will tell you what the issue is.

Open up the event viewer to see the logs.

Copy what it says and post it here. I'll try to figure out what the issue is.

Hi hi. It's been running for me after installing and immediate launch. Barebones kind of game, but so far no bugs. Odd thing - no music. I'm also running Win 10.

Thanks for another giveaway today to to Mr. Whiterabbit for moderating. Cheers.

White Rabbit and Karen - what's the best method for digitizing 8mm film footage?

Reply | Comment by Randy – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+1)

Randy, depending on where you live... I did a bunch through Costco and it turned out pretty good. The upside is that we didn't have to do anything, just deliver the reels and mark them in the order to scan them. They did the cleaning, splicing, and scanning. The only downside is that it comes as a DVD, so it makes it harder to do any post editing or to get an HD scan. It was a few years ago, so they may have more options now. If you don't have Costco, there may be other places offering the service.

Reply | Comment by jb – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+1)

Randy,

Movie film isn't really different than the film used in an old Instamatic or 35mm camera. The best way to digitize film negatives & slides is to project light through the film, enlarging the image via optics, capturing or recording the results with a sensor, the higher the rez the better. The equipment to do that at very good quality is famously expensive, though there are cheaper, lower quality alternatives sold. The hassle with movie film is that there are so many pictures to scan, so ideally you need a way to make the feed automatic, the scans themselves as fast as possible, using high quality optics & a good sensor.

So to answer your question, you can pay a service or buy a scanner & DIY, but as always, you tend to get what you pay for. 8mm film capable scanner prices at Amazon, B&H, Adorama etc. start around $20 -- one for example uses your phone to take the pictures -- and increase to well beyond $500. Generally the more you spend the higher the quality of the scans, & the less time you have to spend hands-on. If you choose to have a service do it, there's a difference between shops that use lower paid more-or-less interns on cheaper equipment to knock out DVDs, and higher priced services that use pros with better hardware.

There's definitely a place for lower priced scanners and services -- not everyone notices or cares about HD resolutions, let alone sharpness & quality, the original might not be that high of a quality to begin with [there were lots of really, Really cheap movie cameras], the film might have seriously degraded over the years, and the cost for highest quality can be quite high. The point I'd make is to go in eyes wide open, knowing what you're getting and satisfied with that. IOW don't plan on getting your 8mm film transferred to DVD and thinking that you'll somehow increase the quality after the fact. It's not going to happen -- all you've got to work with are the original pixels as scanned.

Randy, if you still have a projector and screen, consider the cheapest method if you have a good camera on your smartphone! Setup the projector and screen with best focus possible and put the phone or FHD cam-corder on a tripod with same aspect ratio as the content and maybe use a better external microphone to capture the audio or direct cable connection if possible.
I personaly recommend you do it this way FIRST before sending it off to 3rd party paid for digitizers as "stuff" happens and irreplacable media can get damaged or lost in transit or processing so at least you will have a watchable digital backup of the content!

HUH? Was glad to see another adventure/HOG today and even when I installed it and it very clearly was EXTREMELY OLD in its look and feel, I was still game. Got the keys, went in, and ??? Hints don't work, nothing is clickable that I can see, went outside but the one sparkly area says I need to break in, but there's nothing anywhere to do that. Again, no hints, no matter how long I waited. Again, very old type of interface (not a deal-killer for me) and doing full screen on a modern monitor cuts off the top. Very buggy and strange.

Reply | Comment by neme – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

neme, Go into the next room and click on the sparkly area over by the TV. You'll get a mini-game.

Reply | Comment by Corylea – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+2)

Of course, now I'm stuck, myself. I finished the mini-game, but nothing else I click on does anything, but I'm not allowed to go anywhere else. Clicking hint does nothing.

I looked online for a walkthrough, but the sites that advertised walkthroughs didn't actually have one.

Reply | Comment by Corylea – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+2)

Corylea, wait... how do you get into the next room?
The only things that give me any kind of response in the kitchen are clicking on the refrigerator and the back door which leads to the outside area where nothing works except back to the kitchen.
I tried both full-screen and windowed (just in case I was missing some object or clickable area on the outside edge of the screen... no such luck).
And no walkthroughs or hints anywhere that I can find... :(

Reply | Comment by BobR – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+3)

Corylea and BobR same issues! As Bob said, saw the frig and went outside, but the sparkly area there says I have to break it with something and I don't have anything. Don't think I saw a TV in the living room, but I've already uninstalled. Life is too short :).

Reply | Comment by neme – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+1)

BobR, pretty much same with me: I'm in the Kitchen, at the Fridge, where *nothing* happens. Click on the Magnifier/Hint, nothing. Stuck at Fridge: cannot go backwards. (Shall try starting a new game...)

Reply | Comment by DianaAspenHill – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+1)

Guys, did you go upstairs? This was a very simple game, I finished it in just over an hour. Don't over think it, if it doesn't sparkle it isn't something you can interact with. The fridge is just for the date which is the solution to something later. I had no problem going back from it. If in doubt click the map as you may be finished with that location (if you can't find any more rooms or sparkles).

Reply | Comment by jb – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+3)

DianaAspenHill, I forgot to try "backing out" when in the Kitchen... there's an arrow right on top of your "inventory" bar at the bottom of a scene that takes you "back" to a previous scene. From the Kitchen it takes you back to the hallway where there are other doors to try.

I guess I won't say anything more about the game... someone, somewhere spent at least 10 minutes writing it and might actually be proud of it, so I won't comment further.

Reply | Comment by BobR – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+4)

BobR, Thank you. On my screen, it seems to be very specific where I need to place the cursor to go back; I'm used to just randomly moving the cursor to any area on top of the Inventory bar. Cool. Now, I'm able navigate other areas and participate in the Sparkly Areas. My first mini-game is the tangle of wires for the lightbulbs. Unlike other HoG min-games of tangled things, I find these wires untraceable. Therefore, I am going to just "go down the line" of switches & click. When I hit upon a combo, I shall photo them with my cell phone, since hitting an incorrect switch resets everything to Nothing. ;)

DianaAspenHill, I've found that when I can't go backwards, if I exit the game and then reload, I can then go backwards normally.

Installed on Win 10-64 bit cpu. At first I was not able to add my name. Do not use shift for caps, just type name. Would be nice to have more instructions for the mini-games. I had to wait for the first two mini-games' Skip button and just hit Skip. There really is no direction on where to go. The map does not work until later in the game. I am not enjoying this game. Will see what others have to say about it before uninstalling it.

Whiterabbit, Many people do not have what you have with movies from past generations. Do you have voice too? What an awesome gift. Hope you get it done in time for everybody to enjoy.

I have windows 10 and the game would close every time I selected a object.
I had to run it as Admin. but the items to collect did not respond. I like HOG games but this one is to buggy for me.

Hi David D,, unfortunately I didn't get that far, because my first screen is already frozen. Neither the adjustment of the compatibility nor the version from the manufacturer (uninstall and new installation) helped. (Win10 1903/64 prof.)

Love, love, love this game.

Installed and played it many years ago when it was offered here.

Probs my fave.

imontheinternet, can you talk some more about what you liked? So far, I'm finding that nothing much happens in it, and I'm stuck after only 5 minutes.

Corylea, This is an extremely simple game. If it sparkles it needs your attention, if it doesn't ignore it (other than within the HO scene). Some of the mini-games take a bit of thinking to know what the objective is, but after you get that the solutions are very simple. If in doubt, click the map as it might just be time to move to the next location.

Hi Corylea,

I enjoyed the ending, and I guess the challenges.

I found the comment I had made when it was offered in 2012 and apparently I had problems with it at first then too.

If you hover at the bottom it takes you to the previous scene.

From the upstairs landing, (after going to the upstairs bedroom), use the ladder to go to the attic.

I can give you the sequence of the light switches and how to organise the cabinet in the living room if you like.

Something that gave me trouble was trying to get in past the usher. You just put the ticket in their hand.

(I want to play it again now. I might be able to help some more, but not necessarily before this offer ends. But then if you've already downloaded it...)

jb, the map won't let me move and says that I'm not done with the location yet, even though nothing sparkles. I've found that if I exit the game completely and then reload, I can move on to the next location. So I'm not crazy to have been stuck; the game has a bit of a glitch, but I've found a work-around. Thanks for trying to help!

Enjoy the memories, Whiterabbit. I wish I had more video of the past.

Thank you Whiterabbit-uk, You deserve a break as the reviews that you provide are of great value to so many in decided whether or not to download. Have a great Christmas and try to take some time off to enjoy it.

Decided I needed a break from reviewing this weekend and probably extending throughout the coming week (depending on the games). Partly because I have other projects that are way behind schedule (e.g. editing over 4600' of 8mm and Super 8 cine film that I inherited from my grandfather (who worked with the film archiver and inventor Sam Hannah - not the cartoonist). I promised my cousin I'd finish editing and get it scanned in time for Christmas. I've only edited about 700' so far. Although I'm enjoying watching family video my grandfather shot between the early 1960's to early 1980's, the editing is a little tedious and quite time consuming).

I will continue to moderate, but a little more sporadically.

Whiterabbit-uk, I work for a company here in NC that transfers old film (along with vhs and other tapes) to dvds and digital media. Yeah, film is incredibly time consuming to capture and edit, always what I tend to get the most behind on this time of year. Amazing how many people sit on their film for 50 years, bring it in Thanksgiving week, and ask if they can get it in time for Christmas. Um, no, I'm still working on ones that planned ahead and brought them in October. So I feel your pain. :)

Whiterabbit-uk, What an awesome project! You are blessed to have those memories. Your children and YOUR grandchildren will surely appreciate the hard work you are doing to keep those memories available for them! I applaud you! Good luck with it! Take time to enjoy the season! Thanks again for all you do for all of us
