Amerzone - Recommend?

I understand that Amerzone is similar to the Syberia games. Is it a
recommended play? How does it stack up to today's standards? WinXP
compatible?

Thanks!

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. The graphics were very nice, with whimsical
creatures. If you've played (and enjoyed) Syberia, you might enjoy this one
as well. Give the demo a try.

There's a playable demo download available at many places. here's
one:

http://www.microids.com/Downloads.aspx

It's a bit more static, not much interaction with characters, a
bit short, with simple puzzles, and sometimes more pixel hunting
than you might like, but graphically still stunning, and beautiful
music.

> WinXP compatible?

Not 100% sure, but I don't think you'll run into problems.

I just downloaded the demo to see if it worked properly and no
problems on my laptop with XP Pro.

Appreciate that, CeeBee. Based on your input, I will give it a shot.

Yes, I remember you opened that door through the computer, but
couldn't proceed any further to that elevator.

For testing XP compatibility I kicked the demo off my laptop before
ending it, and playing the demo for the first time - and to the end
- was about 5 years ago, so I might be mistaken.
