This animated adventure casts you as Sam and Max, a dog and a rabbit freelance police, who are investigating the disappearance of Bigfoot, which was one of the best attractions in a local carnival. With marvelous humor and graphics, this title will enchant you as you join our crime-stopping pair in their journey across a fictional continental United States to find the legendary Bigfoot. Your investigation makes you visit many fantastic locations including the World's Largest Ball of Twine, Mount Rushmore Dinosaur Tarpit and a Miniature Golf Course overrun with gators. This is graphic cartoon adventuring at it’s best!

Quest for Glory V: Dragon Fire

Yosemite Entertainment, 1999

This is the last chapter of the Quest for Glory series which was started in 1989 with it's first game, Hero's Quest, which was later remade with icon driven interface, VGA graphics, improved sound effects and music under the title, "Quest for Glory 1: So You Want to be a Hero." In Quest for Glory V, you have been sent to Silmaria by Erasmus the wizard to take part in the Rites of the Ruler ship. The ruler of Silmaria has been assassinated and someone is trying to release the dragon by destroying the five pillars, situated in five different locations around the island. These magical pillars are meant to keep the evil dragon sleeping in its lair and villages around the island safe from its evil deeds. The game also features most of the characters from previous Quest for Glory chapters.

The graphics in Dragon fire are breathtaking with excellent digital sound and music. The interface is point and click and very easy to maneuver. If you enjoyed the previous Quest for Glory games then I would highly recommend playing the last in the series.

King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow

Sierra On-Line, 1992

In this sixth episode of the well known King's Quest series, you play the heroic Alexander, whose beloved Cassima is in imminent peril in her own castle. After being alerted to Cassima's fate by a magic mirror, you must journey to the magical Land of the Green Isles to save your heart's desire. The Land of the Green Isles consists of five islands and you travel between these islands by mean of a magical map and solve puzzles in order to gain favor from the inhabitants.

This is rather an improved addition to the King's Quest series. It is fully mouse-driven, offers a bank of icons from which to select various actions and has an easy to access inventory. While the graphics are not of very good quality, this game is a splendid classic with many magical lands to explore including the land of the dead.
