![]() Remember that at the beginning of a Clue game, you randomly select the guilty party, the weapon, and the room where the crime was committed. The weirdest movie is how they handle the initial card shuffle. The game features a number of Cinepak/PCM AVI files that depict the 6 differents characters committing a ghastly murder with each of 6 possible weapons (thankfully, the designers felt it unnecessary to also show each scene in each of the 6 possible rooms). ![]() These days, the schtick wears thin really quick and you’re much better off with the original board game which is still quite common to come by. Regrettably, the game actually looks much better, or is less madness-inducing, if you play with all the graphical gimmicks shut off.Īll in all, this game hearkens back to an era where anything digital was greeted with uncritical, wide-eyed wonderment. At the highest detail levels, the graphics are beautifully rendered but terribly confusing with all the translucent walls. There is TCP/IP-based multiplayer with other human players, if you’re really willing to go through that much trouble. It can even be 3-6 computer players, if you’re simply the voyeuristic type. It can be just you against 2-5 computer players. I would like to know if it’s pronounced as “cloo-doo” or “cloo-doh”.Īs previously indicated, the game is simply a direct adaptation of the classic board game onto the computer screen. Various bits of the localization point to the Clue/Cluedo dichotomy, the latter being the game’s name in Britain and perhaps elsewhere in Europe. The game comes in quite a few languages including US & UK English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Swedish. But based on some screenshots I found on some other sites, this appears to be the same game (it was difficult to determine since there is an assortment of graphical quality levels). The extended title is not featured anywhere in this game. My first task is to determine whether this game is the same as the Clue title that is already in MobyGames, which bears the full title of Clue: Murder at Boddy Mansion. I’m not entirely sure how many there are but a little googling on the topic of “general mills hasbro cd-rom promotion” reveals that The Clue and Operation titles must have run as parts of separate promotions. ![]() Like Operation, however, this game came in a box of General Mills cereal and the disc implores us to collect “them” all. This is Clue, and unlike Operation, it is the classic game directly transposed into a computer game with no added value. Today’s game is another Hasbro board game transposed into a computer game, along the same line as Operation.
