Any puzzle games like Pandora's Box?

[Post New]by Seascape6 on Feb 18, 10 5:12 AM
This is an older game that I've had for years and still play. It has unique puzzles and soothing background music. I don't know why Microsoft never made a follow up to this game.

Does anyone else have this game and if so, is there anything remotely similar to it?

Thank you!

I used to have it & thought it was excellent - I've never found anything like it though

Best game ever. I never get tired of it.

The only thing I can think of that's remotely like it is Azada (the first one).

I have Pandora's Box. Absolutely love the game. Only problem is I now have XP and I think it is Windows 98 and I can't play it. Any ideas how I can play it on XP?

Click on the window icon lower left corner of your screen
Click on help and support
enter the following two words
run compatible

Click on Make older programs run in this version of windows and follow those instructions. It doesn't always work, but it is worth a shot as it can't hurt.

Thanks auntann11. I will try this. One game I love is Grim Fandango. It plays but there is no sound.

Thanks again.

Love this game! And I haven't played anything like it so far. I also wonder why Microsoft didn't come up with Pandora's Box 2. I'd pick it up in a zip if they would.

I never played Grim Fandango, but it is supposed to be one of the best adventures ever. I'm really hoping it will show up on GOG in the near future. They "remaster" old games to run on new OS.

Have not played it for years. Must try again some time see if it will run on this computer, used to love it. Remember when it first came out how much I loved it.
