I really enjoyed this game. The HOS weren't too difficult but the story line was great. Graphics were neat. A couple of tricky spots I got Forum help and finished easily. Would play again.

I recommend this game!

This is a good, solid HOG with some nice touches, like the choice between scrolling versus static HOS. The items in the scrolling option are much bigger, but can be missed due to the movement of the screen.

This is a good, solid HOG with some nice touches, like the choice between scrolling versus static HOS. The items in the scrolling option are much bigger, but can be missed due to the movement of the screen.

Virginia and an archeologist friend set out to find the legendary missing ship of Columbus, plus the missing archeologists that have preceded them. By the end of the demo, they have found the ship, the archeologist has joined the other missing archeologists, and Virginia has found a portal to a limbo world between the real world and the other side.

The graphics are bright and colorful. The HOS are of medium difficulty, challenging but not frustrating. The storyline is interesting and blends into gameplay seamlessly. Virginia pops up to provide guidance when the hint button is used outside a HOS.

Not a lot of bells and whistles, but for HOG lovers, a good one. Show less

I recommend this game!

This is a hidden object with lots of places to explore; from the options menu you can select Expert so there are no sparkles or if you play on Easy mode the sparkles are very subtle. The default screen size meant I could not see the top or bottom of the scene but the resolution can be changed & then it fit my widescreen perfectly.

This is a hidden object with lots of places to explore; from the options menu you can select Expert so there are no sparkles or if you play on Easy mode the sparkles are very subtle. The default screen size meant I could not see the top or bottom of the scene but the resolution can be changed & then it fit my widescreen perfectly.

I found the graphics a little dated so objects can be a bit indistinct however on some scenes you can turn on Scrolling – this widens the screen & makes the objects larger which really helps. You can switch the scrolling on & off as needed.

The hint recharges at 1-1/2 minutes. You are given a backpack inventory, a flashlight & a pair of goggles (not all at once). You will need the goggles as in some scenes you will find a portal to the ‘otherworld’ & if you do not click on the goggles all you will see is a white screen. If on the other hand the screen is entirely black then remember to click on the flashlight.

There is a voiceover in the prologue but none during the game, the dialogue is skippable; in addition there is very little music during play, just background sounds which are very good. The music when it does play is a little spooky & pleasant to listen to. Show less

I recommend this game!

I wasn't that thrilled with this game, there just wasn't anything exciting about the story or the hidden object games. Virginia and the Professor have found the missing galleon they were searching for. Columbus had just rowed away from the ship to retrieve a map when the ship disappeared. Now Virginia has discovered a time portal onboard the ship. You can choose a scrolling feature or the normal stationary scenes and can choose expert settings to do away with the glitter hints. Some of the items you find will go into your backpack which can be used for activities such as using a crowbar to open up a hatch or you can turn on your flashlight when it's dark. Whenever the portal appears you need to put on your special sunglasses in order to find items on the other side. This isn't a horrible game, it's just nothing to write home about. Show less

This isn't a terrible game. The graphics are nice and the story is somewhat interesting. The option to switch between static or scrolling HOS was a nice touch. But, I just didn't find it to be a very fun game. Too much backtracking, puzzles without clear instruction, and most of the game has no music. I did finish it, but I wouldn't play it again.

I don't recommend this game.

It's little fun, but had a lot of HO scenes, and some of the puzzles lacks of more information to solve , and graphics is not that good.

Same puzzles as 100% Hidden Objects

PostedNovember 14, 2015

dino2730

A couple days ago, I got a game called 100% Hidden Object. Today I purchased Ancient Spirits: Columbus' Legacy. While the style of play is a bit different, both games reuse the exact same hidden object scenes. There should be a warning for these games that recycle the same search scenes. It was very disappointing to pay twice for games that are 90% the same. Regardless of the duplication, the game ...Show more
