After almost throwing my laptop across the room in frustration trying everything to get Black Mirror to run on my Vista system I have decided to give up. I was wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions of good games that will play on my os (Vista). I loved scratches, syberia etc. Ive recently played some carol reed mysteries so anything along those lines would be great. Thanks all!

merry, click on the Glitches Grand Old Threads thread that is stickied at the top of this forum. There are lists of games that play on Vista there.

If you want creepy and like inventive puzzles, get Last Half of Darkness: Tomb of Zojir. You can find it here There are playable demos available for some of Billy's other games on the site if you want to get a taste of what they're like. Gil.

Well the best two from last year - Black Mirror 2 and Lost Horizon. Thanks for the suggestion. I really, really wanted to play the first black mirror first. Also I looked everywhere and could not find where to get Black Mirror 2. I will check out Lost Horizon, thanks. Merry

Once Service Pack 2 was installed most of the Vista issues disappeared for me. The Black Mirror is one of the exceptions; The version of Starforce distributed is incompatible with both Vista and Windows 7.
You'll need to Google The Black Mirror NoCD to fix that.
I'll second both of the above and might add Alter Ego. Alter Ego is an entry level adventure and just a wee bit on the dark side (character wise). Im afraid to go that route, my SO doesn't even want me loading games on my laptop, computers are scary business when you have no idea what you are doing  Ill check out Alter Ego for sure thanks.

Lol! Some signature! It won't be long before you change that one to "Age is nothing, attitude is everything!" Point and click adventure games are made for us more mature types whose minds work better than their fingers, Merry, and if problems arise on the technical side there are some great people here who will jump in to help.
I look forward to the day when you change that signature!
Gil.
