A word of warning: If I remember correctly,
Amber: Journeys Beyond is one of the few games that WILL NOT work on XP, no matter how much tweaking you do to your system (not even Compatibility Mode)
I happened to stumble upon a used copy of this game a few months ago when I went up north on a camping trip (it cost $15 CDN, though). It still worked great on my older PC running Win98! Nice game, fairly short and easy.
