![]() This was not hard to solve, just unnecessarily long winded. The Bishops puzzle was the first hard puzzle I encountered. I don’t mind a few hard puzzles, but the slow animations with every move only worsens my experience of any puzzle, into an exercize in boredom. I’ve spent about 5 hours on the game over yesterday and today, and in this time I have managed to complete 14 of the puzzles. I can appreciate now why I didn’t play this game longer than a month. It is a nostalgic experience, but it was barely enjoyable in the 1990s same as it is today. If the animations were 4x as fast, that might have allieviated some of the boredom I have felt playing it. Nevertheless, it is an impressive game for it’s time, and I feel it has earned a place in history. I would probably be less harsh although it’s hard for me to be subjective with a game I’m this familiar with from back in the 90’s. The 7th Guest is a game that made sense for a space of about 1-2 years in the first half of the 90’s. As soon as the technology loses the wow factor, it stops being a viable product. ![]() The nostalgia still carries it in my case but only because this was my introduction to games on CD-ROM. I just finished my own playthrough last night. This is another of those games made entertaining for me with the aid of a long backlog of podcasts to catch up on. The animations in some of the puzzles can be interminable. ![]() Characterized by its close-focusing and perspective control capabilities, the TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro from Canon is a normal-length tilt-shift lens well-suited for product, tabletop, architectural, and interior photography.I still quite enjoy the puzzles themselves for what they are but it’s a very basic gameplay concept held up by the technology. Up to +/- 8.5° of tilt is possible, for focus control, and +/- 12mm of shift, to adjust perspective and composition, and a tilt-locking mechanism can be used while shooting for more stability. Individual elements also feature both Air Sphere and Subwavelength Coatings to suppress flare and ghosting for greater contrast and color neutrality.Ī minimum focus distance of 10.6" and a maximum magnification of 0.5x are also benefitted by the range of movements for more control over depth of field when photographing close-up subjects.Ĭomplementing the operation of the lens, this L-series prime is also distinguished by its optical design that features a pair of Ultra-Low Dispersion elements to significantly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations as well as one aspherical element to minimize spherical aberrations and distortion. Perspective control, tilt-shift lens affords +/- 12mm of shift and +/- 8.5° of tilt, and both types of movements can be applied independently, and parallel or perpendicular to one another. Both Air Sphere and Subwavelength Coatings have been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.One aspherical element minimizes spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness.Two ultra-low dispersion elements help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy.Tilt-locking mechanism and a large tilt knob benefit operation and ensure the lens stays in place while shooting.Additionally, the tilt and shift functions can be rotated +/- 90° in any direction for applying the movements in distinct directions.
