Description

Jack Orlando Director's Cut is a classical graphics adventure, very similar to the ones LucasArts and Sierra produced during their best time. In this point-and-click adventure you move your protagonist figure through a (mostly hand-painted) world, talking to many other persons and advancing in the storyline by solving many different puzzles.

You are Jack Orlando, an once famous private investigator, who started to drink too much, ruining his career. One night, while he stumbles from the bar to his home, he accidentally gets involved in a murder case. He's knocked unconscious and arrested by the police the other day. As the inspector is his friend, he's given 48 hours to solve the case...

The game's graphics consist of hand-painted backdrops with cartoon-like character models. All of the dialogue is played as voice-over as well as displayed as text and uses Dolby Surround techniques. The music was specially made by the famous movie music composer Harold Faltermayer (he did the Beverly Hills Cop theme, for example).

The original game was for MS-DOS/Windows '95. The Director's Cut version is an updated Windows version and includes some additional scenes. The original inventory (hidden at the top of the screen) was replaced by a special inventory screen, representing the inside of Orlando’s coat, and the new version introduced an easy mode (Orlando can't die).
