I tried the demo on Big Fish and I immediately bought the full version. It is one of the few sim games that I have concluded to the end. As of today I have 800 hours and I am listed as #7 in the stats. I have been playing this game in conjunction with my 11 year old daughter and it really afforded us some lively conversations while complelting the game. I am now on my last puzzle. I had to use a spoiler to figue out how to get the golden child The first 2 villages I tried died quickly I would go to bed and lo and behold 8 hours later they would all be dead. I then went to the forums and found out that I needed to change the speed in order to keep it going. I now have 92 villagers which i assume is the max and I am just waiting for the Golden Child to move the boulder. Once that happens and my daughter sees it I willstart on the medium village and then finally on to the hard. It is a reall y enjoyable experience and I will be so glad when Plant tycoon comes to PC. I did the fish tycoon as well but I have never finished. Maybe now I will start another one. It is was on my old computer and now that I ahve a new one I can download it again. Thank you so much for this game and keep up teh food wo rk. Tuffye
