I'm trying to remember a series, 2 or 3 games, BF HOPAs from a few years ago, about 7-8 years, that had eyeballs that you had to collect. I think they were called Beholders. They would pop up here and there, usually 2 or 3 in a scene. I can't remember anything else about the games except those eyeballs. They had legs like spiders. It came up recently with one of my grandsons who played on my lap when he was 2 or 3 years old. He was scared of the eyeballs and wouldn't touch the screen with his finger to point them out. I think he used a pencil.

Anyway, it's driving me crazy.

Jo: Dreamscapes - the Sandman and Nightmare's Heir. I LOVE the beholders, though I had problems with both games in that they would frequently die with "get thread context" errors. Still lots of fun & worth putting up with the crashes to continue on with the games.

Thanks, lurkercat, My grandson will be 12 in May but he still remembers those terrifying eyeballs. That's hilarious because he's moved on to VR and PS games which certainly have scarier creatures than Beholders and he doesn't get to sit on anyone's lap while playing now either. I downloaded both games and I'll give them a try this afternoon. I played them on Win7 so we'll see how they run on Win10. A nice little trip down memory lane for hump day. Thanks!

@pennmom, I did a backwards search on the photo

And it looks like it's Fear for Sale: City of the Past Collector's Edition. I only own the SE for that game which is probably why I don't remember the eyeballs. I won't buy it from BF because, now as a non-member, I'd have to pay $19.99 but I can get the CE at Steam for $9.99.

I had forgotten that there were so many Fear for Sale games. Holy cow! I remember the early ones being quite good games but not so much the later ones.

lurkercat, with her great memory, will have to confirm this!

Dont know, but just downloaded the CE demo from BFG 'cause I'd love another chance to hunt for the Beholders if they are here. (Thanks for the pointer!). Won't buy, though. Tested the game ages ago & thought it was too easy even then (2015, which seems like it would have been way before HOPAs in general became as boringly insipid as they are now). Fear For Sale franchise always seemed to have very interesting stories, but later games lost the challenge earlier ones had, I thought.

I downloaded the demo for Fear for Sale: City of the Past CE from BF, too. Wanted to make sure it ran on my computer. Played for about a half hour. There are eyeballs everywhere but none to collect so far. You can poke the eyeballs and they blink which is kinda fun.

Downloaded Dreamscapes: The Sandman from my purchase history and so far it works just fine. I just entered the dream world and found my first two Beholders. No wonder Dylan was scared of this game.....

That's pretty creepy. In this scene, the Sandman just snatched up Laura. I can only remember Dylan being upset two times in games that he played on my lap. One was a game where a kitten, crying the whole time, was stuck in a vent. We, of course, had to find a screwdriver to get it out and then it was okay. That made him pretty frantic but proud that we rescued the kitty. The other time was in one of those Witches games. We had to rescue Lynn's husband Tim. He was really worried about Tim but, after we finished the game, announced proudly to his Mom "We rescued Tim and he's okay.". My daughter's response was "Who the hell is Tim?".

Thanks for this thread because there is a game I've been trying to recall for a long time. It had a wallpaper that I loved and used for the longest time until I was forced to purchase a new computer. This isn't much of a clue but the wallpaper had a weeping willow type tree that took up most of the page with tiny lighted bulbs at the tip of the branches. Obviously a fantasy game and had to be before 2015. Any help or guesses would be appreciated.

Are you referring to Five-BNs game series Darkness & Flame?

pennmom,
Jo, I just came across a post by someone who has kept track of the location of all Beholders from Nightmare's Heir!

Cool! I missed 9 of the darned things when I played the game. The Beholders were smaller and sneakier in the second game. I drove myself a little crazy looking for them. I hate to leave a game incomplete which is why I usually prefer not to have collectables. I'm so concerned with finding them, I forget to just enjoy the game.

I do have to say that I liked the first game a lot more than the second. But the second game was still way above the stuff we're getting now. I also may have mixed up my games in reference to Dylan being upset by a game because the husband in the second one was named Tim. Maybe it wasn't one of those witches games which I can't remember the name. It was the series where the Mom was a witch, then it was about the daughter Lynn and then they introduced Bertha, the weasel or whatever she was, and I quit playing them. I swear all those hundreds of BF HOPAs just blend together in my little brain into one giant hidden object memory.

Now I have another game to ask about.

Years ago, I played a HOPA game from BF. It had the usual hidden object scenes but, at least once, you had to leave the scene to find a tool. The one I remember involved hidden object tangled up in the roots of tree. Some of the items were immediately available while others were under roots. There was some kind of clue like "Now I need to go find a damned saw!" and I left the scene and after some hunting around went back in. I could use the saw from my inventory. I thought, and still do, that it was a clever thing to do.

Jo, No clue on your tree root HOPA, but your mention of Tim reminds me of how confused I was in Dreamscapes: The Sandman, 'cause at the end of the SE, I was sure husband Tim was to be the next victim & concluded that probably happened in the bonus game. Not being willing to pay CE prices, however, I figured I was doomed to never find out. Well, as it turned out, I eventually somehow managed to wind up with THREE(!) editions of this game - one paid from BFG and 2 free, one from Game Giveaway of the Day and one from Indiegala, both of which had the bonus game....and dang, it was not about Tim. Hence left forever with unresolved concerns about poor hubby Tim. Ah how HOPAs mess with our little minds.

lurkercat,

Oh, you are absolutely right! I have them all mixed up. I own close to 1000 of the darn things so that's a lot of mixed mess in my head.

Play the second Dreamscapes. You'll have more Tim than you can stand.

So I downloaded the first Witches Legacy: The Charleston Curse and I remembered the little imp.

I had completely forgotten everything else about the story except him, at least so far. Pretty good game but way too many HOS although they're quick and easy.
