"I would like to see the Laura Bow games first and also Conquests of Camelot and Conquests of the Longbow. After that, bring on the rest!"

I actually still have the Misty Acres Plantation map, "magnifying" glass and manual from The Colonel's Bequest. Soooo looking forward to play this again.

I had those things too, until I sold the game on eBay a few years ago - so am very glad I will be able to play the game again now. smile

I have the boxed version of the game which I'm hoping will play in ScummVM or Boxer (DOS Box) on my iMac.
