This point and click adventure is like Lucasart and Sierra graphic
adventures. The top part of the screen is the graphics which are
nicely drawn. The bottom part contains the control panel where the
verbs look, take etc and your inventory are.

The adventure begins with Laura and Philip at the waterfall,
discussing the biology trip they are going on, and what they will
be doing when they are there. When they both leave the scene the
screen pans right to reveal Igor hiding, he is not very happy to
hear Philip is going on the biology trip, with the girl of his
dreams. So Igor's objective is somehow to get on the biology trip
to Uikokahonia, and get Laura to be his girl.


To get around there are two maps, the first being a college campus
with a church, faculty, dormitory, admin building; these four have
their own locations, then there is the park and spring. The second
map available further into the game is smaller with a lighthouse,
forest and cemetery.

The puzzles are not too difficult. The game has funny moments,
especially during the cut sequences, if you do not solve one of
the puzzles near the beginning of the adventure, but solve it near
the end of the game, instead of getting the cut sequences
gradually, you get them all one after each other.

A shareware demo of IGOR can be downloaded from Compuserve using
FTP, keyword is IGOR.

Optik software can be reached on the WEB at http://www.optik.com
There are a few hints to IGOR, but you should not need them to
progress in this game.

If you do not have a modem I have sent a copy of the demo to Sue
for inclusion into the library.
