Just got Riddle of the Sphinx, The Omega Stone, Syberia II, Agon, Paradise, Physicus, and Black Buccaneer. All of them for under $20. All on the same dvd so if you miss these the first time around (couple haven't played), Viva has come out with The Viva Adventure Anthology. yay All are suppose to work with Vista and XP. :summer:


Never resist a generous impulse.

Think the games have been updated. This is a new release, just got it at Wal-mart.

Thanks for the info, acornia! That's a lot of good games for the money! Black Buccaneer seems to be more of an action adventure. Here's the box shot of the Adventure Anthology on Amazon.

That's quite an offfering from Viva Media. Seven games in total.

If only, they put only point-and-click adventures in the Anthology and just all first person view games or all third person view games.

A title for that? A Compendium of First Person Games Vol 1 or A Compendium of Third Person Games Vol 1 laugh

Waiting for the Adventure Collection Vol 2 from the Adventure Company smile

To the best of my knowledge, all of those games were Windows games to begin with. That's a very nice collection at a very nice price.

I read some reviews of Black Buccaneer, and it sounds like a lot of fun. smile

Yup. DOSBox won't do you much good. None of the games are so old that they'd work in Win 3.1 on DOSBox.
