It seems we're in the same boat, chrissie. wink
The incredible deals on the sale made it possible for me to pick up games I'd been wanting to play but couldn't have afforded, even some Darkside ones that it made no sense to buy if it turned out they were too much for old fingers but I could justify buying at some of these wildly low prices.
I'm with Marian; it's just as well they're repeating so much now and tempting me less!

For the next hour you can get this one at Gog.com for $6.24 reduced down from $24.99. I am presently playing this one and may write a review. For this sales price it is a good buy well worth the investment, if you like Agatha Christy types. For $24.99 well, run away, run far away. Had I paid full price I'd be furious but at $6.24 it is a good game, flawed but worth this price.

Thanks, oldmariner. That's a great reduction, and worth snapping up at that price.

The game is a bit clunky and the space bar does not reveal hot spots as noted by Mag in her walk through. Locating things to click on becomes a frustrating pixel hunt. Too many items are poorly defined. With that said it is a long game, all three parts included. It is a good detailed story. I'm only half way through it but beyond the mechanical issues it's well worth the reduced price. Oh yeah, there is no manual Mag's walk is needed for the basics.

That's strange, oldmariner, because the space bar DID reveal hot spots (as noted by Mag in her walkthrough) for ME woozy

I really enjoyed the game thumbsup

Got 4 games free, bought 7 for $19.17. Lots of new games to play in next months. Currently playing Sanitarium that is absolutely gripping and brilliant, especially when you consider it was originally released already in 1998.
