Hi Paulette.
Gamebooks are interactive stories where you progress through by aking
choices about what happens. so for instance you might read a description of
a room with two doors coming out of it, and be told "to enter the right door
turn to page 32, and the left door page 55"
Most also have some sort of stats or dice combat along with them to enhance
things as well. originally they were! text, but obviously now they can be
done on computer with html etc.
Though the 7-128 games aren't strictly speaking gamebooks, their interface,
choosing through sections of text ie questions to ask is a lot like hw
gamebooks work, which is why they're catagorized in that genre.
for more information see http://audiogames.net/page.php?pagefile=Genres
which has a full explanation of all the game genres on audiogames.net.
Hth.
all the best,
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Thanks for the Inspector Cindy information. That is an odd address for a
website. What do you mean by, game book? Thanks.
Paulette

Hi paulette.
the inspector cindy games are mystery gamebook style games set in the
1890's, from 7-128.com, and are indeed fun, though they play with sapi,
they
have lots of music and sounds as well plus video clips of inspector cindy
herself.
Feel free to check them out, though sadly i don't think 7-128 have the
demo
versions to try out anymore, which is a little bit sad.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Hi Micahel.
You can get the games
http://www.7128.com/getgames.html#inspectorCyndiGames
there did used to e mach versions, and indeed demos of the games, but
while
I know 7-128 were revamping their demo system, I'm not sure what the heck
has happened to the mach versions (you might want to contact them about
that).
other than that though, I have played the games and they work well, at
least
they do using a decent sapi voice.
the inspector cindy games are rather close to gamebooks in the mystery
genre, but with full sounds for each location and fairly extensive audio
dialogue. I also rater like the way you arrive at a solution by gathering
information and then submitting it, rather than the books being forced to
a
set end.
Definitely fun, it's just a shame the demos and mach version aren't quite
as
obvius as they used to be.
all the best,
dark.

Hello, I was wondering if someone could please give me some information
about the Inspector Cindy mystery games?
I would like to know how many are in the series, and are they on the
Mac?
I was also trying find out how I could purchase them, because I didn't
see
anything about or where I could buy the games from the company?
Thanks for the information!
