Author's Review
ACME agents, you are assigned to solve the mystery of the missing Eiffel Tower stolen from Paris, France. You have ten days to solve this crime and you must get started right away. You will fly around the globe and chase an ugly villain until you either run out of time or solve the mystery and catch the thief. Your mission will begin now.
This game is wonderful for all ages starting at about 10 and up. I am 23 and I have loved this game from the beginning when I was about 15. I have learned different parts of the world that I have never known about.
In order to solve the case, at each city and country location, you must search around for clues and talk to people to figure out the location for the next flight to get closer to catching the villain. You also must find out what the person looks like and their hobbies and things to get a warrant for their arrest. Without a warrant, you cannot arrest the villain and your chase is useless.
You travel the globe and learn about many different places. This game also comes with a book to help you with clues and better assist you to know which country you should head for next. If you get the wrong country and the villain is not there, nothing will happen and you will have to retrace your steps and start over again from the country you previously came from. If you get lost, you will probably run out of time and not win that round but theres always next time.
As a mother now, I feel that education is important and this game is very educational and you learn many things. Kids will learn because most of the time, like I started out, I will have to look up clues in the book and find out about many different countries. Computer games are very in nowadays and this is a game you should add to your collection.
Installation for this game is really easy. They have software available for the Windows 95/98 and the Macintosh. The graphics on this games are awesome, a little childish but that is who the game is for, children but I am sure adults will love it too.
