[Found: Innocent Until Caught] Need the name of a game...

Stokey · 29 September 2007, 03:24

Anyone remember a graphic adventure from sometime around '94, that involved catching a fly with a jar of mayonaise? I think the name was a pun on crime or stealing. It was released on the miggy and MS-DOS, the DOS version actually played better.

Check the HOL database, maybe you find it.

Looking for a graphic adventure in a list of text adventures doesn't seem likely to produce results.

The category is graphic and text adventures. Or are you searching for a point & click adventure like Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion etc?

Yes, like Monkey Island. I've always used the term 'graphic adventure' for those type of games. Games with text are text adventures to me, even if they show a picture.

Anyhow, on a hunch I dug out my collection of original disks and I actually own the game I'm after. Strange, I don't remember ever buying it. The name is Innocent Until Caught. Thanks for trying though.

Yep, i know it. You're right, the PC version is much better. There is a second part called "Guilty" with full speech.

IUC wasn't that good in my opinion, but lately I've been on a quest to finish the adventure games I played but never finished. Twin Kingdom Valley is next.

I wonder, the only thing stopping IUC on the amiga to be enjoyable is the mouse lag, is that possible to "patch"? Like forcing the game to use the Workbench mouse settings or something?
