When Jasper first asked me to review Enchanted Cavern I told him I had taken a look at it and thought it was boring. But I was drawn to it because when I was a kid I lived on a ranch that was close to a little known park called the Pinnacles. We would have Birthday parties and family reunions there. The reason it was so special was because the park had caverns .We would go into those dark caverns with our little flashlights and run amok. In some places we had to get down on our hands and knees to get through. I don’t know why we never got hurt or lost in there. Now there are lights in there and they tell me no one goes in without a guide. We were always looking for big piles of gold or jewels, but of course we never found a thing.
So I decided to take another look at Enchanted Cavern. I’m really glad I did because I was sure wrong about it. First of all I was trying to move the tiles and that was my first mistake. You don’t move the tiles you just point your curser at groups of three or more. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t getting anywhere. Duh! Read the directions, Cecelia. I was way too sure of myself and didn’t pay attention, which is a bad mistake in a cavern or computer game.
After you finish a level you get a torch and go into a cave to search for pairs of treasures. Just as I was really getting into this game and having a very good time the trial run was over. Darn it! Now I am going to have to buy the game to satisfy my curiosity. This game is a sleeper. It’s way more fun than it looks. If you decide to try this game be sure you read the directions carefully or you will be lost in the caverns.
