They sell it on their site, together with Elvira 1 & 2.

http://www.adventuresoft.com/acatalo...oft_games.html

I already owned the first two (on the original disks, weee!) but it was just too expensive for that one game. Otherwise it seems damn hard to find it! Ebay has one very expensive copy of the game but I'm not paying $80 for one single game which might not even survive the mail.

Yeah, another Horrorsoft jewel :Brain:

Waxworks is the unofficial "Elvira 3", what about posting the previous two games?

[x] "Personal Nightmare"
[ ] "Elvira - Mistress of the Dark"
[ ] "Elvira 2 - Claws of Cerberus"
[x] "Waxworks"

Wow - a spooky adventure for Halloween! How perfect

Thanks for this one, Reamus and Sebatianos. Btw, a fantastic review, Sebatianos. Had me in stitches hehe.

Can't wait to brave the waxworks.

:tnx: Wendy!
And I promise I'll have the rest of the maps done ASAP (just working on the Victorian London map - it's a real nightmare, because it features tunnels that take you further away then just one sqare).

That's strange...
I deleted the one I had on my computer and downloaded the version on the site (the one you can get). I extracted it and it works just fine!
Download the file.
Extract the file (here miy be the catch - I have it in the C:\waxworks folder).
Run the WAX.BAT - a blue screen shoul appeare, followed by the Accolade screen and the Horror Soft screen - then the credits will roll.
When the manservent asks you for the ticket number press enter (without giving in any number) and you're ready to play!

If you use WinXP the game can freeze, so use either DOS, DOSBox or VDMSound.

I don't know what you're doing wrong, so if you want anybody to be able to help you, you'll have to provide more info.
