      MSGID: 2:240/1120.34 5e8a498c       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TID: hpt/w32-wc 1.3.0-cur 07-02-03       Hey y'all :)              I don't know what you guys are doing right now. I however - although still       trying to get at least 30 hours of work for my company done per week - have       plenty of time to kill with house keeping and family-business.              I am used to spending a lot of time with my little daughter (almost 4 y/o), but        for the last couple of weeks, that amount of time increased A LOT. Not only       because child care facilities have been closed three weeks ago, but also       because my wife wouldn't be able to handle her on her own so that I can still       be working as much as I was used to before.              Well... and we all have hobbies. Sort of. Don't we?              When I don't work on building a 1:8 model of a Pontiac Firebird Trans-AM (and       you know what model I am talking about, do you?), I am focussed on my little       collection of C64s here. Recently I received a Commodore 1084P color monitor       which the owner told me was still working fine. Well... it is not. At. All.       Except for the Power LED and a mean noise probably coming from a broken flyback        transformer.              I have been successful in disassembling the whole thing and ordered a       replacement part. Wish me luck in cleaning up the mess I found in the case and       re-assembling it. ;-)              Also, in this time, I found out that my daughter actually loves the C64. I was       looking for games that she could actually play with me together and found out       about Millie and Molly (https://carletonhandley.itch.io/millie-and-molly). It       is a beautiful puzzle game that - at least for the introductory levels worked       pretty well for my little daugher. Even though she has a hard time using the       Competition Pro, this game allows for rewinding almost endlessly so that you       can do mistakes and don't have to start completely over and there's no       timelimit... even the "monsters" in the first couple of levels are actually       teddies that you simple sort of "collect".              Unfortunately, these levels only exist so that you can get used to the game       mechanics. Once you're done learning, it gets pretty complicated really fast.              Does anyone of you know a game like this but with simple levels... and much of       them?                     Greetings,       Christian              --- FPD v2.5.240405 GoldED+/W32 1.1.5-31012        * Origin: www.fido-deluxe.de.vu Fido-Paket -IP- deluxe (2:240/1120.34)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/5 15/0 2 19/36 34/999 90/1 104/115 106/201 114/224       SEEN-BY: 114/702 705 706 116/18 123/140 128/2 73 187 253 153/7715       SEEN-BY: 218/700 222/2 226/16 30 227/114 229/101 275 426 1014 230/150       SEEN-BY: 230/152 240/1120 5832 249/1 206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38       SEEN-BY: 261/100 266/512 267/155 275/100 282/103 1056 291/1 111 298/25       SEEN-BY: 305/1 3 310/2 312/2 317/3 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 342/13       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 640/1321 712/848 801/161 189 2320/105 3005/1       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 5020/1042       PATH: 240/1120 261/38 15/0 317/3 229/426           |
