It also utilizes a toolbar located at the top of the screen that allows limited selection of actions, system commands, and access to the inventory. The CD-ROM version adds enhancements such as the voices of the characters, the sounds of the city, the growl of the museum's resident dinosaur. By the way, on the box cover, we asked our receptionist Lisa Crabtree to pose as Laura Bow. Gameplay Gameplay is divided into six acts. Majority of the gameplay is carried out between Act 3 to Act 6 when Laura is trapped inside the museum.
Interaction is through a mouse driven interface rather than a text parser.
I prefer the use of an icon driven interface over the one cursor approach popularized in the newer Sierra On-Line titles. It gives the player more control of the action, forcing the player to think with one's mind rather than clicking away without repercussion. All the characters in the game are well flushed out. Laura meets all types of characters from different backgrounds and social statues. All have their own secrets and hidden agendas that provide many surprises throughout the game.
