Ivo tries to rescue Mortimer.

Wilbur does what he does best: dream.

Wilbur comments on the rather old food in the kitchen.

Mortimer gives Wilbur the One Ring. No not that one, the other one...

Wilbur's home: An empty dwarven keep.

Wilbur visits his bedroom.

Wilbur's family. He's the one that doesn't really fit into the picture.

Wilbur suddenly thinks that whole "adventure"-thing over.

That's were the bad guys live but I guess you knew that.

Mortimer has been captured by Mother.

Ivo visits Mortimer's house. Notice the guy on the left.

Showing all hotspots inside Mortimer's house.

This nameless mummy is one of the funniest guy's I've ever met in an adventure.

Solved the riddle and found the book.

Find Wilbur in this picture.

As the dwarven keep, the human cities is also devote of any people.

These two are playing a MMORPG. I think it's called "Reallife" or something.

One ugly city guard.

I always knew it: A monkey controls the server of an MMORPG.

In the pixie caves, Nate finds a talking helmet.

The flying dragon, as Ivo and Mortimer make their escape.

Bottom of Mortroga's fortress. Hmm, I see a whole lot of "Simon the Sorcerer" influence in this game... ;)

Wilbur can use this map to travel between places.

Master Markus reveals the sad commercialism of modern mana potion production. ;)

My umpteenth swamp view after "King's Quest", "Quest for Infamy", "Heroine's Quest", "Gabriel Knight", "Hand of Fate", "Simon the Sorcerer" and others... ;)

Preparing the magic potion - it's a minigame! Looks somewhat interesting as long as there are ingredients on the right side, otherwise it's not an interesting view.

I really regret and just can't understand one thing: why Wilbur's quest on the other side of the ghost mirror wasn't a visible, interactive sequence.

Back to the swamp - now Wilbur has to persuade Death to bring him back to life.

I really loved the Arch-Mage's tower in "The Critter Chronicles". Here's a daytime view of the same place. (I know, it's earlier, but I played the games by plot chronology.)

Inside the temple. You can choose any of the three to pass through the door, the puzzle solutions just differ a tiny bit. I chose Ivo because she's female! :)

Another example of technical proficiency of the Gnome race.

Entrance to the earth pixies' mine.

Inside the mine. Nate should avoid the pixies until, with a bit of cheating on his part, their god "speaks" to them and "tells" them to accept the human.

Nate's map is a little illogical. Some places can only be accessed by the map (no exit of their own in the screen), but you can only go to the teepee and the orc camp directly from the graveyard.

Mortroga's fortress. Mortroga and Munkus don't realise how flexible Critters are and how easily they can escape...

The warrior contest in the orc camp - as long as Nate is inside, Ma'Zaz can't harm him because rules of hospitality prohibit this.

Wilbur learns how to hack the chieftain's magic circle. ;)

The credits sequence, with hand-drawn views of places and characters from the game...

...Really, they make me wonder (as usual): why didn't the developers stop at this point? Why does everything has to be 3D nowadays?...

...To me, more polished hand-drawn graphics would have simply looked better than 3D...
