To answer the question more fully about what happens after Murderin Sam, heres what happens. As was already said, you immediately get sent out to get Skeeter, the black jack dealer. If you succeed, the game abruptly ends. If you fail, you get sent back to the

Re: future of Bavisoft games
Question: Does someone have the 3 reviews (Kellies review of GG and chillingham, plus bryans review of GG)? I would like to have them for old times sake. I just got a windows XP machine (long story) so I want to install the games and see if they would run on this
Re: future of Bavisoft games
Bavisoft seemed to delight in exercising memory, especially towards the end of the game with the forest scene. That, together with stamina, seemed to be the challenge of the thing, to simply keep ones stuff in order.This was a shame, because my short-term memory is

Im wondering if it might be possible for us to collaborate and write a chillingham2 story, that could be made into a game with BGT or something similar. Something community driven. This would definitely I think give some closure to bavisoft.URL:
Re: future of Bavisoft games
Maybe, but as far as I am concerned it would be better to develop something completely new with its own back story, etc than to come out with Chillingham 2, and basically complete what I always thought of as a mediocre game at best. Chillingham was so-so, but really

We ought to do a game like the old Maniac Mansion series. Those were some highly amusing, albeit sadly inaccessible, titles from Lucas Arts. It had some RPG elements, namely controlling a small party of characters, combined with point and click adventure elements

Re: future of Bavisoft games
I agree with Bryan. The hermits game was a little silly, but the hole game was a little silly really, having to scare the lady off playing an organ with a frog? not exactly a true horror game in the way that descent into madness was.I also agree with Bryan
Re: future of Bavisoft games
While I was slightly disapointed with their games and how they lack replay value after playing them so many times, I would have liked to see chillingham 2. The ending was interesting, and i would have liked to have known what had happend. But its very unlikely that

Re: future of Bavisoft games
One thing I didnt like about Chillingham, aside from the cliffhanger ending with no sequel anywhere in sight, was the silly and stupid Simon game you have to play with the hermits allergic reactions.URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=147920#p147920

Yeah. Perhaps the town isnt a very ideal place, or perhaps Bavisoft just did weird things with their loops, which was particularly noticeable in Chillingham. I take your point about the variation in Chillingham, but there was definitely something very cosy and cool
