It is always a pleasure, especially in current era of 3D shoot'em up games, when a new adventure game in "old style" [2D, point-and-click interface] emerges. It is even better pleasure if it is a good adventure game. And Nightlong by Team 17 definitely belongs to this category.

Your hero is named Joshua Reeve, he lives in 2099 and the game starts when he waits for a beautiful car, gets in it and goes through streets with old friend Hugh Martenson who is a governor of the Union city and currently faces some troubles. He became a target of terroristic attacks and asks Joshua for a help because he saved his life in the past and this is an opportunity for Joshua to do the same in return ...

Nightlong comes on three CD full of perfect graphics, animations and music, the puzzles are on the right level of difficulty and the story pulls you in the game immediately from the beginning. If you are a fan of good adventure games, you will not regret the money you spend for buying it. I only hope that Nightlong is not the last adventure game from Team 17.

As good as it gets

Ok, there are a lot of great games out there....and this is one of them! Ok..... you have to like adventure games with puzzles that sometimes make you say "Ok I'll turn the computer off and get back to it later". But despite this, the graphics are so cool and so polished that this game is a jewel. Plus, the multimedia ambiance is astonishing, and the game goes your pace...you won't get killed opening the door, or having a glass of water, or patting your cat. As for myself, I take little sips of it, and everytime the caracter changes location, I pray that this is not the last scene.I've been playing with it for months. One last thing.... this game is made by Italian folks. I am not Italian...so I have no interest in pointing this out, except that it makes the lips of the caracters desynchronised to the phrases sounded out in English. By the way, these guys are also the great inventors of other great games like Ark of Time for example. So let yourself go, jump into this very well though imaginary world, and get absorbed by the night.

Another pure adventure game that was enjoyable.

I loved this game. It satified what I like in adventure games. It could have been longer to give the story more time to develop. But I enjoyed it immensely.

Nice game

I change my hardware acceleration to none and then nightlong worked on my 2000 ME. Also if i switch to game compatible setting it works ok.Otherwise it crashes in the sphinx room.For people with newer computers try switching to game compatible or turn off hardware acceleration and the game might be ok then.

Looked forward to playing this game everyday....

Enjoyable game. I think another reviewer said it reminded them of 'MacGyver", that show where the character had to be creative with objects in order to get out of sticky situations. This game is somewhat like that. It wasn't too difficult - I only relied on a walkthrough once. It also worked fine on XP. The only problem is you'll need to download a patch from Dreamcatcher, & after that, you can continue to play.

Great game! but only for older machines

An adventure game like they used to make them -- intelligent, funny, challenging, and thought-provoking. One warning: There's a major bug about a third of the way through the game that crashes the game to the desktop on machines running Win98 or later. The manufacturer's solution? Download a saved game from their website that picks up after the problem. Better than nothing, I suppose.
