1988 - The Edge (UK)
by Michael St Aubyn
You play the role of a thief, lured into a house by the widow of old man Crutcher, who before passing away, hid
his fortune, 12 precious gems, in very particular places that you must find.
She decided a thief was the only one capable of finding her precious gems, so this is where you came in.
Old man Crutcher also did some rather bizarre experiments so be prepared to face some unusual sized pet animals.
A game with very well prepared graphics and an excelent isometric technique.
The best features of the game include some nice hidden passageways.
In general a rather good game.
An isometric adventure that takes place in a mansion of a dead rich man whose widow asks you to find some hidden gems along the house.
To achieve your mission, you must face some weird pets that are the result of bizarre experiments by the dead man.
This game turned up when all the classic isometric games were already released. Anyway, the idea was very good and the result was an interesting adventure but with slow, clumsy and rough movements of characters that made it sometimes exasperating.
Graphically is good (hence the slowness of movements, maybe), with very detailed objects in every room. All in a very short map, though. Nice and original transitions between screens.
A good idea in a dissapointing game, unfortunately.
