The Family Legacy

Author:Marnie Parker
Genre:Mystery
Released:1997
Review:

Entered in the 1997 competition, then withdrawn. It's better than some of the entries that weren't withdrawn, but it still has some problems; in fact, as far as I can tell, it's unfinishable due to bugs. You'll inherit your uncle's fortune if you can find a lost family heirloom and combat a mansion full of ghosts and such. There's a modicum of atmosphere and some inventive puzzles, but the implementation problems ultimately sink this game.

Rating: **
