Murder off Miami Reviews (Commodore 64)

This game was a pleasant surprise - I hadn't even had a press release from CRL about it, and as it turns out I think it's one of their better games.

Das Ganze wird nur durch zwei Wermutstropfen getrübt: zunächst die Schwierigkeiten mit dem Speichern (muß wohl an mir liegen) und das gänzliche Fehlen von Sound. So‘n bißchen was während des Ladens oder zu Beginn des Spiels hätte‘s schon sein dürfen. Trotzdem lohnt sich meiner Ansicht nach die Anschaffung. Fazit: Für den Preis o.k.!

Murder off Miami was written using the Quill and the Illustrator, so the format of the game will be familiar to most adventurers The plot itself is reasonably well worked and should provide a good challenge for budding amateur sleuths everywhere.

Murder Off Miami is a reasonable attempt at a who-dunnit adventure, but I found the atmosphere lacking, although I couldn't put my finger on what I thought was wrong. Perhaps it was just that I have been spoilt with classics like Infocom's Deadline and Witness.

If you have played one of the Infocom detective series, don't bother with this - I can guarantee you will find it deadly boring.
