This review is from: Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy (CD-ROM)

It is always a pleasure, especially in current era of 3D shoot'em up games, when a new adventure game in "old style" [2D, point-and-click interface] emerges. It is even better pleasure if it is a good adventure game. And Nightlong by Team 17 definitely belongs to this category.

Your hero is named Joshua Reeve, he lives in 2099 and the game starts when he waits for a beautiful car, gets in it and goes through streets with old friend Hugh Martenson who is a governor of the Union city and currently faces some troubles. He became a target of terroristic attacks and asks Joshua for a help because he saved his life in the past and this is an opportunity for Joshua to do the same in return ...

Nightlong comes on three CD full of perfect graphics, animations and music, the puzzles are on the right level of difficulty and the story pulls you in the game immediately from the beginning. If you are a fan of good adventure games, you will not regret the money you spend for buying it. I only hope that Nightlong is not the last adventure game from Team 17.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Role Playing Adventure, December 29, 1999

This review is from: Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy (CD-ROM)

Nightlong is a good game in the fashion of the old King's Quest or Return to Zork. The graphics are spectacular, and it has an interesting storyline. The challenges you must complete are fairly difficult, but anyone could get them eventually. The game is rated Teen because of some foul language and the shape of the women, but it's nothing you would't see or hear on TV. The one main problem I had with the game is that it's so short. The box says there's 40 hours of play but I beat it in 3 days after maybe 10 hours of play (I'm on Christmas vacation). But despite that, Nightlong is a satisfying adventure game.

An adventure game like they used to make them -- intelligent, funny, challenging, and thought-provoking. One warning: There's a major bug about a third of the way through the game that crashes the game to the desktop on machines running Win98 or later. The manufacturer's solution? Download a saved game from their website that picks up after the problem. Better than nothing, I suppose.
