Okay, but typical Sierra madness

I remember playing this game on CGA as a kid and wanted to like it as an adult, but that did`t work out .. I never understood why Sierra made their games so frustrating. This one has a lot going for it, great setting, interesting story and almost all you need, but, alas, you can screw up the whole game by not talking to a person or by not picking up an item at a certain time. You won`t be able to finish the game, but the game does not tell you and you fail about 2 hours later. That is just unfair and disrespectful to the player. In my opinion this is the main reason why Lucasarts Games are better, they don´t let you fail on purpose. Still, this game is fun, but flawed.

Agatha Christie-like brain-wracker

Complex, well-thought and challenging but not very well-aged. I remember playing it back in the golden Sierra days and this was one of the best explore and verbal command adventures Sierra delivered, and definitely not for casual players. You must have an eye for forensic investigation, detail and exploration to get the full score on the game. I remember I got almost a full score back then: it wasn't easy, but it wasn't impossible either. As in any Sierra oldie, you can get killed easily, in addition to missing stuff as the night progresses, so save often and keep backtrack gamesaves.

Great Game - Not Quite a Sierra Classic

I remember getting The Colonel's Bequest way back in the 90s for my Amiga. It was another Sierra "Quest" game to come out and was developed by Roberta Williams herself, who did the King's Quest series. This game has the same familiar feel of the original 3 KQ games (including graphics). There are a few things though that make this game different. Events happen at certain times or within theatrical acts with the game advancing time when you discover something (like a dead body or an interesting event). This game though seems to punish you for doing some normal things and can be irritating at times. You can play an hour or two after missing something before the game punishes you and ends the game. The Colonel's Bequest is suppose to have an atmosphere like a murder mystery play. It is a good mystery game with you walking around and giving commands in a text box The irritating thing I found with this game is that it has you as more of a passive observer than an actual player that effects anything like in other Sierra games. Also, I did not care for missing certain clues because I accidentally stumbled upon an event that moved time forward. Make sure to save often! At the end of the game, you are give a list of things that should have been discovered so you can make note and play the game again. You are given clues to who is killing whom, but never really solve each murder or see any actually happen. There are two endings, but you are never given an explanation through the game as to which one you should choose at the end (one is the "correct" ending and the other is a "false" one). Overall, I would recommend if you played other old school Sierra games and enjoyed them. If you never have played those games, you might find this one frustrating to say the least. Once you finish TCB, I highly recommend The Dagger of Amon Ra as your next adventure. It is the sequel to this game.

An excellent game

The graphics are beautiful, and the story is very interesting. You have to be comfortable with replaying it a few times. It's not a game for people who don't like to be confused about what to do next. That happens often.
