2007 was seriously mediocre in adventures, or maybe i'm just bored of them at the moment.
I can't even bring myself to finish the games I have installed.

waiting down the line are arsene lupin and next life... arsene will probably be what's next
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.

Status : Offline | Just finished the French version of Belief and Betrayal and was horrible disappointed.
The plot sounded very Broken Sword 1, but DO NOT BE FOOLED. Everything about B & B feels unfinished, the storyline (if you can call it that) disappears a third of the way in, the characters are boring, and the cutscenes are horrendous.
Half the time I felt I was playing a demo.
It was short, easy, and the ending was crap. Don't buy it.
I'm trying Agon next.

Spoiler AlertI got stuck wondering what to do next because I thought the door lock (base 20 numerical addition lock ) were controlled by the keyholes next to them. So I never even tried to solve them.

Status : Offline | Yesterday I finished Sanatarium which I truly enjoyed. I love scary games, this one never scared me though, rather gave me an unpleasant feeling inside.
Today I've been trying to install Tex Murphy Under a Killing Moon. I haven't managed it either on my win-98 (wrong sound card it seems) or on my XP in DOSBOX. I haven't given up on DOSBOX yet. I really want to play this game.
I also have Darkness Within arriving in the mail any day now. That's also an interesting option for January.

belief & betrayal
arsene lupin
sinking island
next life
i usualy pick myself, but now i'd like to hear some suggestions for what to start tomorrow

I've heard Sinking Island is not bad.

Sanitarium is a all time favorite of mine. Yet another "one hit wonder" from a developer, unfortunately. I don't think the developer produced any other adventure games. Considering how intriguing Sanitarium was, that's a shame.

Status : Offline | That's one the main problems with that game. They could have potentially made the half-baked, unfinished story bearable, if they'd made the characters interesting.
As it is, they were all unmemorable at best, I played my game in French, I wonder how the voice acting worked in Englaish.

I don't know if you've consulted any online setup instructions, but I found these at QuandaryLand to be helpful with getting the game running on my XP machine.

I have found another site with instructions on how to install DOSbox and UAKM which I'm fiddeling around with at the moment. I think I'm going to get it running. If not I'll follow the instructions from your link. Thanks a million for helping me out Susan!

Status : Offline | Can't honestly say that I've been in the mood for game playing, however I finished Evil Under the Sun a couple of weeks ago and quite enjoyed it and will borrow Arsene Lupin after my daughter gets around to playing it.
At the moment I have Next Life installed.....grrrrr......... what a long time that thing takes to load and I really dislike the voice acting and am already fed up with walking back and forth to get various things from people so I only got as far as Day2 before abandoning it for Culpa Innata. Can't comment on Culpa Innata as yet because I only played it for 30 mins. or so the other day and haven't got back to it as yet but our daughter rang me to say she thought there was way too much dialogue through it, well I generally just click through all that rather than listen to it so I don't really see much of a problem there.
