Guilty

DOS - 1995

This sequel to underrated Innocent Until Caught sports the same flexible game engine, with better and longer plot.

Intergalactic two-bit thief and failed womanizer Jack T. Ladd is back, but this time you can also choose to play as Ladd's female nemesis and potential love interest, who has her own different path that converges with Jack's near the end.

The puzzles in Guilty are not as challenging or innovative as those in the first game (there are a lot less items you can combine, for example), although they are still fun to solve. Dialogues and plot also are not as well-written this time around, but the 2 diverging paths that make the game replayable at least twice more than makes up for it. A fun game if you like the first game, but nothing revolutionary.

If you liked tongue-in-cheek, "light" sci-fi games, and can stand cheesy dialogues and cliche plot, give this one a try. If not, play the first game, or Beneath a Steel Sky instead.

I enjoyed Innocent until caught, so when this sequel came out, it was on my list. I found Guilty ok, not brilliant, not bad, just ok, but the graphic point and click adventures were my favourite genre at the time. A little more mature than a lot of the genre at the time, especially the Lucasarts games.

To get the music working, run the SETUP and set the music settings to the same as the sound settings (SoundBlaster, same IRQ, etc.)
You might have to turn it on in the in-game options as well.

Bypass the copy protection by pressing F8 and clicking on Restart A New Game at the copy protection screen.

The game is copy protected, a code needs to be entered from page, column, row from some manual. The game can not be played without the manual/code.
