Hi Paco
Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it. I had a look at Abandoned Places. As SAL said, the map looks very intriguing. BUT unfortunately I do not play RPGs any more, much as I like them, because I have a problem with RSI (repetitive strain injury, also known as carpal tunnel syndrome) from too much computer work and playing PC and video games. So since then I stick to adventure games which have less mouse-work than RPGs. My RSI was so bad a couple of years ago my whole arm went numb for weeks and I had to stop computer work and games for 3 months!!! My favourite RPGs were the Final Fantasy series 1 to 7 (Playstation) and much earlier it was Shining Force (on the Sega Megadrive, aka Genesis in USA).

Warning signs of RSI (info for anyone experiencing the symptoms and not knowing what is wrong) : persistent tingling in the fingers, later developing into pain in the fingers, hand/s and later in arm/s, and even later losing all feeling in fingers, hand and arm and difficulty with movement (serious problem!!!). Cure: essential to see your doctor -my experience is you will not be completely "cured" without an operation, but have to cut down on the amount of typing and mouse-work. In extreme cases, stop all computer work and video games for a few months. (My sister lost 90% of the use of her hand and arm through RSI for more than 2 years, became unemployed as a result, and still has pain and still has to be very careful). Hope this info re RSI helps someone!!!

Hi Marshall99 and Sal
Thanks for your feedback about Cowberries and darts etc. Much appreciated.

Best regards, Wendy
