Cruise for a Corpse
1992: 54
After appearing earlier with Future Wars and Operation Stealth, the same team goes from strength to strength with a murder-mystery.
Inspector Raoul Dusentier receives an invitation to ride on a cruise from the wealthy Niklos Karaboudjan. Arriving on the cruise, he is informed that Mr Karaboudjan's lifeless body has been discovered, but when he goes to investigate it, he is knocked unconscious. Thus begins the mystery of Cruise for a Corpse, as you control the Inspector as he searches for clues and questions other passengers. The interface has again been improved over previous titles, and the graphical style is very appealing. The story flows from one scene to the next, and the small confines of the ship means you are never going to get lost with nowhere to go.
I haven't played this for long, but I can see myself giving it a good long play. WHDLoad is recommended as usual with multi-disk games such as this, and a faster Amiga will certainly up the pace somewhat. A good well-written adventure doesn't age as poorly as some games, so if this sounds like your cup of tea, I suggest you take a sip.
