Do not work in windows 11

I just claimed the give away, and installed it, but but when I try to start it, I only get a black screen, and the only way to shut it down again, is via the job list. Good thing it was for free.

GOOD STORY WITH GREAT AUDIO/VISUALS

Years after playing and finishing Syberia ( the best adv. game I've ever played ) I've heard of the game by Benoit Sokal that was released prior to Syberia. People on forums were talking about this game, so I bought it to try it out. At first, my expectations were high cause of fantastic Syberia, but it was fail from the start. I installed Amerzone on my XP cause the game was old. It was VERY BUGGY from the beginning as I couldn't finish first half of chapter 1. Bummer .... so I tried Amerzone on W7 and it was not so buggy as I was moving through the game. I have to say that there are only a few NPC's in the game, so I was very disappointed. Also, the game is easy which is cool as you don't need a walkthrough and it is finished in a couple of hours. Graphics were probably great at the time and sound effects and ambient are fantastic !! There are a lot of FMV's as you unravel a great story and fantastic world through your voyage but there are also a lot of cliches in screenplay. Overall, I would give 74/100 a score for The Explorer's legacy. For everyone who likes Myst games this is a great game and not so bad for adventure fans as myself. Enjoy ....

Mac version unplayable as of now.

Animations and dialogue are missing, events don't trigger. If you're looking for mac playable games and don't have a Windows VM, move along. I hope to update this review saying that it's fixed one day...

Short and climatic

I don't know, why i bought this game. Really. Probably because of the low price. And the fact that it is a game-debut of the late Benoit Sokal And i really not regret it. This is a short, easy point&click game with beautiful artstyle, puzzles with logica solutions and simple but good story, that remains a family adventure movie watched by you with family in your childhood. Unfortunately, there's two objective issues (i don't count the shortness and simplicity, because something that be con for a veteran can be a pro for a newbie). First one is a wierd controls and saving system. You just jumps between some points and look for a cursor. If che changes shape, there's something to pick up, do or a way to go on. Saving system works excatly the same way. When you adapt, it works fine but getting used to this can be irritating. I have a theory, that the primary was the PS1 version, and PC version is just the simple port with only gamepad replaced with mouse (no graphic options, both versions looks the same and works the same, only difference is 60fps and lack of loading screens between locations on PC). The second one is a lack of subtitles and music. Finally, i can recommend this game with clear conscience. Enjoyable for all age groups, ideal for a first point&click game. And what's important, works perfectly fine on windows 10
