Looking for old mac game...

Jaki · Jul 3, 2007

Does anyone remember a mac game made in the 1990s in which you control a detective with a magnifying glass in order to solve mysteries. I played this game in elementary school and had the sudden urge to figure out what it was called. I don't really remember a lot about the game except you were able to pick up letters that were clues to figuring out the mystery.

If you have any idea what it's called and/or have a link to the game please help, thanks.

Lies lies lies! I use DosBox and run many older games. I was enjoying Sam & Max just the other day.

He didn't say he wanted to run it, he said he wanted to remember the name of it.

Head over to abandonia.com and they have it there. You need a program called DosBox to emulate dos with.
