Hey all, I'm looking for a new puzzeling mystery game. I've played both "Syberia" games (which ruled) and the Myst series has been great too. But now I'm looking for new material. I'd like kind of a historical one, if any exist.

Also, are there ANY court games? Y'know, Lawyers and Judges and Juries and "objections" flying left and right? I've played the Law and Order games, which were good, but far too short and not really worth the money that I spent on them. I truly believe that the courtroom is a place not ventured into enough within the video game world.

These might help, sort of detective adventures.

Dead Reef
http://www.dreamcatchergames.com/tac/dead_reefs/index.html

The island of Dead Reefs was infamous for the wicked pirate inhabitants that would lure passing ships into the reefs, slaughtering their crews and looting their cargo as the ships would sink. One stormy evening, while on a fateful mission to a neighboring island, an ancient order of monks decided to set anchor on Dead Reefs to take refuge – only to fall victim to the vile pirates led by the corrupt island ruler, Baron DeSantra. After murdering the ship’s captain and searching his body, the Baron would discover an old relic far more evil than any of them could ever imagine!
Since that fateful night, a horrifying madness has been infecting the minds of the island residents, resulting in a murder every nine years. Believing that the massacre of the monks had cursed their island, the residents ended their pirating ways – but the deaths continued! Days before the anticipated 11th death was to occur, a descendant of the wicked Baron DeSantra mysteriously died. You are the ingenious investigator Amadeo Finvinerro, and you have been sent by the King to discover the source of all the evil plaguing the island of Dead Reefs!

Easier said than done. I've SCOURED I think all of central Indiana for a copy of CoC and I can't seem to find one anywhere. The only place I haven't looked is the place that might actually have it, an electronics superstore. But I can't find one at any of the game shops. :damn:

If not, I'll just have to get a copy from the "Intranets".
