Status : Online | I've played Nightlong and I think I quite enjoyed it. I seem to remember it having an interesting story and some ok puzzles. No great piece of work, but certainly enjoyable.
The CD containing the Watchmaker demo was promoted to a coaster, which still resides on my table.

Status : Offline | Too bad! I really enjoyed Nightlong! Couldn't take the gameplay of The Watchmaker and have only made it halfway through. on't care enough about the characters or the plot to muddle through the rest of it. I was most disappointed. It probably would have made a better 2D game.
It is sad when an established company like this goes under.
Still adventuring after all these years!

I think Nightlong is the best of the three I have played.
To me it is sad when a gaming company doesn't make it but imagine it is very difficult to turn a profit that will hold you over to the next game and to pin your hopes and dreams that the game will be a winnder.

THe Watchmaker and Nightlong are on my top 20 list and Ark of Time, despite it strange story and bad acting was very enjoyable (Alien Virus is very bad), so it's quite a loss, IMO
Also, according to the french press (and according to my bad french) Microids are more than in trouble, they may be closing already - is it true? Hope not and I hope I misunderstood the whole stuff.
