I just got it in the mail from Amazon, I haven't played it yet but I'm greatly looking forward to it. Definitely a cult favorite from what I can tell, I can't wait to dive into the series. Any particular non-spoiler tips or advice for me to keep in mind as I play? I can't wait to yell objection while I'm playing this in bed at night next to my wife. Hell, I'll probably yell it even when I'm just investigating.

enjoy it

i always wanted to get this game
how much u pay for it?

She might even yell it back at you when you're trying to do something else in bed.

I think it was about 17 dollars used on Amazon, it's considerably more (Like 50 bucks if I remember correctly) if you want it new. But it's in great condition, looks new aside from the lack of shrink wrap.

You're in for a treat. One of the best franchises to ever emerge in gaming.

yeah... carts have the advantage of not being scratched all over when they are used =)

so advice...ah yes I have one... start looking for the sequels already, that'll save you time for later =)

Not to ruin anything for you, but I have to say that I expected more from it. It's still a good game, but with a better story and less linearity, the game would have been much better in my opinion.

I salute you sir.

Ignore Rainbird. It's an awesome series with a great story and less linearity would ruin it. Think point and click adventures. They are linear because they have to be to have the kind of puzzle solving they have.

I bought one of those games (trials and tribulations?), did not like it at all and sold it very shortly. Don't be too surprised if you end up disappointed.
