The Secret of Middle City Reviews

Not sure if it's due to me never having played any of the classics or if it's simply something they missed but I'm not a huge fan of clicking person, which triggers a conversation ("cut scene" style) that ends and I then should click again to initiate discussion with three options (lines of speech) which ends and then I have to click again to trigger the final talk that lets me move on.... The humour is lacking to say the least, maybe I don't get the Italian humour but I haven't laughed while playing it....well, I have laughed at the translations, quite horrible english in it occasionally... (gamebreaking awful, no, but not good) This feels like a game that would've been a hit if they aimed it at specific people and sold it for around 6$, as it stands it's being sold as a game full of humour where none can be found at quite a high price and this will not go well... Is there anything good, yes there is, the weird story, aliens, secret socities and such has gotten me interested and leaves me wanting more but I don't think I'll ever get to see anything more than I've already seen... Note to dev. either make a fun game (with working jokes) or an intriguing story, your italian sense of humour may work in Italy but I don't see it working anywhere within the english (or the good enough at english) speaking world. One other thing - which is the reason I never did refund this - that I like is that they released it for Amiga OS 4.1, that deserves a bit of admiration. (I've never owned an amiga but I've always been a fan of them) But...in the end I didn't get many laughs from a game that promised them, I was forced to sit through text to get to pick some text that finally let me click the NPC and trigger the continuation of the story and I can not recommend anything like that. Like I wrote it may be that I'm not used to the game mechanics and this game is godsent to the Sierra crowd, I do hope that's the case but I do fear it isn't....
