About this product

Product Information

Described as "an interactive play in 8 acts" in the Sierra manual, The Colonel's Bequest is a murder mystery set in one location, an isolated island in a bayou. The year is 1925 and you play as Laura Bow, a 20-year old journalism major at Tulane University in New Orleans. You've been invited to attend a reunion of the reclusive Colonel Henri Dijon's relatives at his estate (Misty Acres Plantation) in southern Louisiana where he states his intentions to bequeath his millions to all present. Thus begins the mayhem and mystery as murder after murder occurs and your tasks include discovering not only who is behind the murders, but why they are happening. You'll uncover secrets hidden in various places in the mansion, piece together snippets of conversation you overhear and watch the unraveling of the family unit as tempers flare and betrayals become commonplace. Designed by Roberta Williams, The Colonel's Bequest is an early forerunner of the classic adventure game featuring animation and a complex plot.

great game this colonel's bequest
i see no reason to ever buy a play station or an x box or a wii. Or any other game console. I think every game should be spooky and scary and crazy and the best. and this game makes you type all of the commands. it is a little piece of heaven in a box. laura bow, roberta williams, i love you! sierra for life~!

Colonel's Bequest
Always a good game if it was made by Sierra back in 1980-1999. If it was past 1999 they just went down hill since Ken Williams left the company. All the kinds quest,police quest,space quest, etc are great games so if u havent played any of them you should.
