| Deleted User | A six. It's very long ago, so I might change my vote if I replayed it... which won't be anytime soon. I remember how disappointed I was when I'd figured out pretty early who the bad one was. Not much of a detective story. I liked the second Laura Bow much better.

although a great game objectively, it did feature some of my favorite themes, all in one game! first of all, it was based on my all time favorite book "ten little indians"... then the whole who dun it theme, and everyone gathered in a secluded area, plus the whole atmosphere of the manor and everything were exactly what appeals to me! it all was just perfect!
You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

All you have to do is walk around the plantation and you can still finish the game. But you might not understand everything. What you put into it, in terms of talking to suspects and sleuthing for clues, is what you get out of it!
BTW, I also gave it a 10.
I miss my Bubba: 1986 - 2006.

Its a kitschy, Agatha Christie like story filled with lighthearted cliches , bad humor at times, nutty characters, and some predictable actions. Some people have problems with the plotline, especially if they have no love for Roberta Williams and her storytelling.
Betje you are either a very lucky person or an outstanding super genius to have figured out the "BAD" character so fast.
So........what was your level after finishing the game?

Im looking for the roadrunner. Seen him come this way!
Still, with all of its flaws and quirkyness. A top thumbs up to this one from me!
I love it very much! I'm with you on this one Aya. Nice!

Precisely with you on that. Could not have said it better!
