Nightfall Mysteries - Curse of the Opera Game Review

Nightfall Mysteries: Curse of the Opera is an action-packed hidden object adventure game, in which an opera troupe visits a quaint village for a performance only to become entangled in mysterious disappearances and murders.
You play the part of a stagehand in this famous opera troupe which has been invited by a Count Vladd Vansig III to perform for him in his small village. Strangely enough, the village is empty except for the count and his manservant. (Honestly though, if you have been invited to perform in a village in which the only residents are a man named Vladd and his manservant, the best course of action would have been to run away!)

Classic Game Review: Sherwood Forest

"#'*%&," he said as he unsuccessfully tried to get out of the 'Little Twisty Passages' in the Colossal Cave. Well, don't try typing that into this adventure.
The people at Phoenix Software don't take kindly to people who swear. They do, however, take good care of logical two word commands. 'Sherwood Forest' is similar, in many respects, to most of the picture oriented adventure games on the market today. The top portion of the screen displays a room (the generic term for your current location), while the bottom four lines are text and give a verbal description. What sets this game apart is in how well it performs the required transition from 'room' to 'room.' The speed of picture creation is almost frightening, but even more amazing is the quality of the picture once it arrives.
