Can Jamie, the beautiful heir to Skyview Park, keep her evil identical twin
sister Janie from turning their father's dream into a parking lot? Can you, as a
dashing reporter, help Jamie find the deed that will establish her claim to Skyview?
Will you be able to unmask the thief responsible for swiping and hiding the deed?
And will you be able to do it all in just one night? Panic is a combination of FMV
(1.6+ GB worth), Myst-style slide show, arcade games, a few twiddle puzzles and a
logic puzzle. As is standard in the FMV games of the period, players click from one
slide to the next and are surprised now and then by a grainy .AVI file. The graphics,
while dated, hold up quite well for a game published in 1995. And though the acting
is frequently broad, especially among the concession operators, the performances are
appropriate and specific given the material. It's up to you to help the good twin
find the park's missing deed by morning in order to save it from destruction. Bizarre
park employees, a variety of engaging games and puzzles with increasing skill level,
and more than 200 different outcomes make it an ever-changing adventure with each new
play. State-of-the-art computer animation, photo-realistic 3-D environments and
full-screen video performances by over 30 different characters make it a
cinematic-quality adventure like no other. |
