I've had this game for about 15 yrs & it's still a fun diversion. Mine says Hasbro, this says Atari but same artwork & I'm sure same game. I play it solitaire-against the computer & have made small chits to keep track of 4 out of the 6 possible "players".
Great Game

Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion is based on the famous board game. Clue has been a family favorite for over fifty years, and now it is available on CD. This game has VERY good graphics. The music is pretty nice, too. Each charactar looks almost LIFELIKE. After someone suggests, you will get a little surprise. There are "suggestion movies". For example, if you suggest Mrs. White with the revolver, a short movie will play of Mrs. White shooting the revolver. The first time I saw these movies, I was freeked out. I got used to them... The knife looks like it really went into YOUR flesh, and so on... For your convenience, there are "Auto-Notes". The computer will take notes for you. For instance, if you are Mr. Green, and you have the Dining Room, Hall, Ms. Scarlet, Rope, Mrs. Peocock, and Candlestick, you will fine small green squares next to that item in the list and a check mark next to it. You can click on the colored square to change the color, likewise with the check. It can be an X and other symbols. You can also write short notes about each item such as "Miss Scarlet might be the killer", or "The Lounge was the murder scene."
Overall, this game is VERY good and VERYVERY fun.
Thanks.
BUY IT NNOOWW!!
Its a Gas!

I planned to give it to the Niece, but I keep playing it! When a character suggests a murder scenario, you see the dinner guest come after you with that weapon! You complete your 'scorecard' in colors so its a lot easier than the board game cards. If you dont have 3 people around, you play against novice or expert computer players. There's a slight delay after each player's move, but no more than kids around a coffee table. I cant stop Playing!
murder cool!

This is the coolest game you can chose from classic or no dice roll.Classic is where you roll the die from 1-6 dots on it.No dice roll is where you don't roll the die but can get to 7-9 numbers on it.This game is where the cards come to life on suggestions.You can pick suspects like col.mustard,mr.green,miss scarlet and more.
Clue. On the computer!!

When i got it i was happy! The best thing is the 3-d suggutions and the mansion way insted of the board game way but you can make it the board game way.Six suspects come for a dinner when Mr.Boddy gets killed now they have to travel around to find out who did it!Was it Col.Musterd with the revlover in the hall? Or Miss Scarlet with the rope in billard room?You contral youre own person and find out who did!You wiil love it! P.S if you want it put it on youre x-mas list.
A spectacular Clue computer game finally made for the PC.

All Clue fans remember the debacle of the previous incarnation of Clue for the PC. This version more than makes up for the last version. Go to Hasbro Interactive's web site first to download a patch after installing this. The graphics are breathtaking, the music gets you in the mood immediately, giving the feel of an old-fashioned murder mystery movie (sometimes it almost feels like a movie too!) and never becomes annoying. Top-down view and angled view are two of many choices you have in customizing the game to your liking. Little mini-clips of your "suggestion" in action play as you make them, giving a small sense of "re-enactment" of the crime. Animated nuances such as wind-blown curtains, wind howling outside and clicking on various ornaments in the room make for some nice surprises. I don't get to play with my friends on the board game so playing on this CD version is a delight. Rich, full graphics, beautiful music, customizability and its strong adherence to Clue's game rules makes a fabulous game you'll want to play over and over.

I really like this game, with all the fun features it is the best! I really like how it keeps the game quality but remains real! I love it. Although it would be only fun for kids 10 and older. It can be hard to understand at times but it is oh so much fun!!!!! Have a Clue of a Time!
Just Like When You Played It As A Kid...

The graphics and music for this game are excellent! I particulary like the fact that you have several different choices about how you play the game. You can choose the classic die roll version or a version in which every player gets the same # of moves. The computer will keep up with your checklist if you want it to. You can also choose to view the playing board two ways: like the standard board game or in 3-D. If you choose the 3-D version, be sure to make your character walk around in the rooms and touch the pictures, the pool table in the Billiard Room, the armor, etc. If you choose to view the game in the standard boardgame set-up, the secret passages are the little yellowish boxes. All-in-all, a fun game, but reading the directions before you start is helpful.
Really fun

I thoroughly enjoy mystery puzzle games and I got this game for Christmas a while ago. It's getting pretty old now and might not work as well on newer machines. I don't know. It worked on my Win2000 just fine. However, you do have to download the patches because there are a few bugs in it.
The puzzles themselves weren't too challenging. You are basically a detective and spend the game talking to people and collecting various items to find more clues to discover the identity of the murderer.
Parents should note that there are a number of deaths that occur during the game. While these deaths are not bloody or overly violent, they do show them happening on screen. There are several references to an Eqyptian "cult of the dead" as well artifacts relating to this cult. Also, there is a segment where the player is asked to spell names out on a Ouija Board.
Over all, this game is very enjoyable.
