I love this game. It is awesome not only because of the fact that the entire game tests your ability to use reasonable logic (IE, not trial and error like most "logic" games) to survive, AND it tests your ability to pay attention to the story and surrounding details of the murder mystery. Well, provided you don't cheat. I love the Inquest at the end.

Good job, guys, another awesome Sierra classic has made it on Abandonia.

um, might be a dumb question, but, was you using dosbox? if you did, was your dosbox window active ('clicked')?

No, in Windows XP - would it be better to run it in DOSbox?

Let me explain it this way: 9 times out of 10 when someone has a problem running one of these games, it tends to "magically" disappear when they try and use DOSBox to run the game.
