Can't run on XP

I have not been able to get this game to run. I've tried contacting someone for technical support - no response. I've searched the internet and finally found today that apparently the game won't run on Windows XP. So if you've got XP, don't buy this game.

Absolutely the lamest adventure game I've ever played. Almost no gameplay in it at all. Extremely annoying sequence in which you're stuck with nothing to explore, but you have to keep poking around aimlessly until you get a line of dialogue from your ghost. Two places in which the game hung completely and my machine had to be rebooted. (Do not touch locked doorknob until you have key!! Do not touch trapped clown!!!!)

Game is comprised of simple inventory manipulations, with lots of moving around between each step. Only minor puzzles, and few of them at that. Movement is annoying, sight angles are unclear in most of the scenes; very confusing to figure out where you are standing and what you can look at.

If you liked Obsidian, or Neverhood, or Rama, or Curse of Monkey Island, DO NOT BUY AMBER: Journeys Beyond!!! It will be a complete waste of your money and time.

I couldn't even get the game to play (Win 2000) .Script errors: handler not defined. I sent an email to the company and got a response saying it ONLY works on windows 95 (but isn't Win 200 supposed to be backward compatible so what's up with this?). Pretty lame is you ask me. Otherwise was looking forward to playing it.
I did peek at the movie in the movie folder and they look fairly lame. Small screen and very pixulated but I guess for when the game was put out that wasn't so bad. Storyline intrigued me so if I ever get to play it I may post again

Not Worth It

I really did not enjoy playing Amber. I found the puzzles random, easy, and not interesting in the least. The whole game was very short, and the resolution wasn't satisfying. The idea in this game is to find out how each ghost in this house died. You have a device that measures sound waves. For each ghost you journey back in time. The settings are fairly interesting, but each is also very creepy. Again, I would not suggest this game. At the end I felt like I had wasted my time and money.

Can't play it

I was suprised to read that other people have played this game. I have windows XP and I cannot get it to play. If someone can tell me how you got this to play, I would very much appreciate it.

ABSOLUTE WASTE OF MONEY. GOOD IF YOU WANT A GAME THAT YOU STILL HAVE COMPLETED BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS ARE OVER, IF ONLY BECAUSE ITS TOO BORING TO PLAY. STILL THIS GAME HAS NICE GRAPHICS.
ITS JUST YOU AND A HOUSE THE REST IS UP TO YOU.

BEWARE! Does not work on XP!!

Do not buy this game unless you have a computer with a pre-XP operating system cause it simply will not work. I don't think it works with ME either. This was not made clear online and I was sooo bummed when it arrived.
