Game description:
You have 12 hours to solve the murder of Mr. Marshall Robner. If it was a murder... Mr Robner was found locked in his library, dead -- from a lethal dosage of anti-depressants. Friends and family are calling this a suicide of depressed wealthy industrialist. As Chief of Detectives, you find something just doesn't smell right about this case. You go out on a quest to find a suspect, his motive, method, and opportunity.
What I think:
Well, when I played Deadline for the Apple II I was disappointed, as I expected more from it. It wasn't a bad game for me then, but I perticularly didn't like it either then.
That disappointment, however, is gone. However, while I like it now more than back then, I have to admit ... I find it overrated. Not bad at all, but definitely overrated.
Very well-written game though. It is as if you are reading a bestseller crime novel.
