You don't have to be such a grump, zobraks.

Here is the only Amazon review of a game in its entirety:

Quote:
I played this game until I wore out the floppy disks (that's right, proper floppies) back in the 90s. Since then I've compared my memories of this game to all new game purchases. Definitely a fantastic game if you have a way to play it. Very Indiana Jones in the plot structure and the seagull poop scene remains one of the funniest scenes ever.

I think I remember a seagull poop scene in Heart of China.

a nice throwback to Lucas type, Monkey Island. the voices were great and the art clear and detailed and very interesting. a little basic and too short in places but fun all the same. Obvious in places, like, launching a bees nest to distract the guards. Not a lot of side locations to explore. Enjoyed the side issue of the whale-like sea monster. You play three characters but let the game choose who and when or you get too far on one while needing the input of another who hasn't done it yet. Nothing here that some thought with trial and error can't solve but I did refer to a MaGtRo walk thru occasionally. The plot gives you lots of things to touch and intereact with and the side comments of the characters is amusing. it has the advantage of a TAB key that flashes ALL the live areas in case you missed one and really need to move along now. Worth the time to enjoy it.

Strange. I haven't played this and yet I'm pretty sure what game it is.

I reckon there's no way for someone who's played the game to not recognise it.

I think I played part of it years and years ago but I don't remember the name. Wasn't there a scene in the beginning where you had to enter a house?

So are either of you two going to guess, or just pontificate all day?

Can't speak for tsa, but I'll continue to play Statler (or Waldorf) , as I usually do (which means I'll pop sarcastic comments Name:  kreza.gif

And I think the review is about Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island.

It sounds like Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island. Not played it myself but only because I wasn't a fan of A Vampyre Story which imo was extremely lacklustre..plus from what I have heard this is just a very mediocre and uninspired version of Monkey Island.

You got it. And I agree with your analysis too, I didn't really like either game.

Honestly I didn't notice that Hell it still took me a while to notice and figure out what you meant even after you quoted it.
