The Case of the Silver Earring, a warning

[whiffey]

A Sherlock Holmes adventure - by Frogwares.

APPALLING practice near to the end. If you don't find a pail and fill it with water and navigate through a forest and put out a fire, the whole game just BOMBS OUT on you. This might have been great fun for the programmers, engrossed as they were, but it is not for the player, and it is APPALLING game programming.

I will never again buy any games from FROGWARES.

Thank you wee willie. Monkey Island got it right, Guybrush Threepwood never gets deaded, but the arrogance of a game that kicks you out because you couldn't click the mouse quickly enough. I have written masses of software, but for programmers to play god over the user is NOT ON. I am still seething, I have uninstalled the program, and I might even reformat my whole computer, that'll learn em.
