Countdown

Anybody remember this early Chris Jones game?

I played it for the first time over the weekend and must say I was impressed with the plot (CIA, Amnesia, etc.)

I keep getting an error message when I meet Fontaine in the alley though so I guess I'll never know.
Good to see a post from you, Tuco. One of my all-time favorite characters.

No, I have not played it, but I think I might have a copy of it somewhere.

I've played it, but it has been years since I've played... I'd have to dig it out and get it to run on a modern system... Very good game if memory serves, it would probably be a lot like a new game if I were to play it now... It's on my Retro list, though it will probably take me years before I get around to making that list happen...

Countdown, Crime Wave, Mean Streets, and Martian Memorandum can all be gotten on a CD entitled Private Eye Mysteries...

It can be found on ebay pretty cheap...
