I just got my copy of Evil under the sun. been playing for a couple of hours and i am not sure what to do. th first time i went to the pub, don't think i was suppose to b there,because the game got stuck and i had to turn of the computer and start the game over. i have been talking to the guest, boy this hard ithout a walktough, but i think i will surive without 1. it is fun so far. it is hard to find the guest, butam not doing too badly. anyone one else got the game yet. i could use some pointers. i don't know if i am suppose to have a disc in the drive or not can someone tell me. i have been playing without 1 in the drive.

greatsmitty, There's no need for the Cd to be on the drive. You can play without. If you need help, please post at Hints forum. Sorry that your game got stuck. I have some parts written. Tell me if you want a copy of what I have written so far. It's so slow going right now. Life intervenes...

i finished the game. i agree the environment is lovely, the format for the gameplay has been perfected, and there is some great humor and great characterization. the music/sound is also very well done. there are lots of possibilities in the plot/subplot. that said, i have to say i was disappointed by the ending. but i won't ruin it for any of you, and it was fun enough that i would play it again.
2 things i need to report about this game--glitches if you will:
1-after the murder, when i was back in poirot's room, i went to check the rooms of the other guests. i had a long interview with an invisibile Kenneth Marshall, and after it was over i was stuck in the room! the menu and every thing was gone--i had to control-alt-delete and shut down. i tried it again after to see if the same thing would happen, and it did.
2-on the evening of the 24th, i was looking through the rooms when i noticed the 'take' cursor appear out of nowhere. it was just under the menu and didn't correspond to anything in the scenery. so i clicked and i got a master key in my bag. then i clicked again, another identical master key. i ended up getting twelve, i could probably have got more. it was very weird.

Three CD's is correct SirGraham but the game will play without the use of a CD.

I just started playing this game yesterday, and already I am having problems with it. I have checked over at Glitches, and others are having the same problem as I am. Whenever I go outside the hotel there is whiteout, and can't see anything and have to shut the computer down kapoot!!I am not very computer literate, but I am going to try to do what they are telling others to do in regard to the driver and see if that will do the trick. So far it seems like a great game, I hope I can fix it so as to be able to play. Wish me luck Beverly I fixed the game by updating my video card, and doing a clean boot like the techs at game website told me to. No whiteouts so far.

If anyone else is having the problem with "whiteout", there is a solution over at the glitch forum. I tried it and it works, for now anyway, and am trying to continue playing this game---- tedious or not!! Beverly

I have had to shelf this game as it is tooooooo tedious to play with all the "whiteouts". I received a reply from Dreamcatcher, but it was only a generic solution, but I did as they told me to do, but still having "whiteouts" so until I get a custom solution it will have to stay on the shelf. It is a pity as it was getting to be a great game to play. Beverly in Florida where the winds are blowing and the surf is up with Noel just off the coast.

I'm probably about half way through the game and I am enjoying it immensely! First off, the graphics are wonderful and I am also enjoying the comic banter between Hastings and Poirot. I also like the fact that you are given significant time to establish key players before a murder happens. Then the game really picks up! I also like the "to do" list you are given to help you advance in the game. It's not obvious hints, but gives you an idea of what you need to do. Fantastic!

I finally finished. Good, good game. Much better than the last Agatha. I had to redo a few chapters due to my enthusiasm and thus overlooking a few important things, but I'm glad I stuck with it. Loved the humour. Teddo
