Ten Little Indians

Part of Brian Howarth's Mysterious Adventures

Author:Brian Howarth
Publisher:Adventure International
Genre:Mystery
Released:1983
License:Former commercial
Review:

According to the documentation, this Adams-era game concerns your quest to recover a golden figurine left behind by a previous treasure hunter. The game feels a lot more like housebreaking, however, and is really just a traditional treasure hunt in a new guise. Still, the puzzles are nice and logical and it rarely kills you off without warning. The title is obviously meant to recall the Agatha Christie novel, but the two have absolutely nothing in common.

Rating: **
