GT, I hate to say it, but it may be time for a new monitor. Back when I was playing Riven my screen was so dark that in one place someone actually had to tell me to click one inch from the bottom right and one-half inch up!!!

A little while later I got another monitor and wonder of wonders, Riven was as clear as a bell...

Just might be that you're due for a new monitor. It's possible the brightness and/or contrast controls can no longer do their job. I was using a 17" monitor and bought a new 19" and darkness is no longer a problem.

I keep thinking I'll go back and replay the Dracula games now that I can "see" again but I have a hard time getting myself to replay games. I seem to remember too much to make it worthwhile. Anyway, glad you got through it. I know the feeling 'cause I did it in darknes, too. laugh

Actually its long past time I get a whole new computer. Celeron with 56 meg RAM doesn't run the latest games.

Well, I'm glad you managed to complete it despite the darkness, Guybrush. I just completed it myself a week or so ago and enjoyed it despite the timed sequences.

Lady K. and GT, have either one of you played Dracula: Resurrection? If not, be sure to get it, another very good game....

Yes, Jenny, I played Resurrection before The Last Sanctuary and am glad I did because the second flows so nicely from the first.

Good, Lady K.--I just thought I'd mention it because we've had several people stumble onto Last Sanctuary and they had never heard of Resurrection.

Of course I think it's better to play them in order, especially since the beginning of LS is sort of a spoiler for R...

I have also had problems with monitor brightness.... and the solve was to get an actual video card instead of using integrated video. They usually have independent brightness controls within the installation software and can make the monitor as bright as the sun....
