Join Vooju Priest Papa Doc Mystère, Captain Jane Starling, and Pirate Cook Blue Belly as they set out on a ghostly quest. Can mere spirits combat the evil that is gaining ground throughout the tropical islands of the Azurbbean Sea?

Cheers Becky, my copy has just dropped through the letter box. I will either be as silent as the grave for a while (if it's enjoyable) or we will be having words!!!

First impression. It's made by the same company that gave us A Vampyre Story, so is similar without the irritating voice and the women have very large bosoms. I find that very odd considering there are a lot of ladies of a certain age playing adventure games. Must go, need to find my chicken fillets. Bye..

Thanks Becky. That was a very enlightening review.
It makes me want the game even more. I called my local EB games and they say they haven't even heard of it.

Cathy -- the game so far is releasing only in Europe, and hasn't found a North American publisher. I don't know how long it will take it to make it across the pond to brick and mortar stores.

Interact does have it though as an import. The trend among some games lately seems to be to release them in the UK and rely on online stores like Interact and Amazon to get them to North American gamers.

Hi Folks,

I've been gone for about five years but glad to still be working. That said, I was getting a little depressed seeing all the horror/ghost themes and detective who-done-its dominating the top of the list once you get beyond TLJ and the Cyberia series so I'm glad to see a review like this with comic relief and colorful screen shots. Okay, I admit it, I'm old school, and the first AD game I played was Kings Quest 5, truly magical for it's time....

Tom

I recommend this game also. The humour and the voice acting are excellent (with the exception of Blue Belly's sister who lolls between Irish and Spanish with alarming frequency, but she is just a kid, so I cannot take it out on her!).

The thing about a good game is the feel of it, and this game has got feel, as in, it is not artificial, manufactured, mass marketed [blip]; it is a lovingly crafted, funny, beautiful, long length, game that will take you back to the Monkey Island days when gaming was honest good fun, and you did not get cheated with a teeny weeny length game with hardly any decent jokes or puzzles.

Congratulations to all who had anything to do with this game.

Amazon has two of them, $33 and change, and $37 and change.
Problem is they are being sold from England, adding about $4 for shipping.
