The German version is much more common than the English version.

I absolutely loved this game. Incredible graphics generate a wonderful horror soaked atmosphere (sound was ok) and the gameplay is superbly immersive with just the right degree of puzzle difficulty.

I'll avoid the obvious gag and not say there's two really outstanding things about Elvira. Even though lets be fair, there was. ;)

The icon systems implementation was years ahead of its time. The game really made me glad to own a disk drive even if the disk swapping was a bit of a bind.

Just about as good as a game of its genre could be on the C64.
10 out of 10 for me.

Indeed a smashing one, even if I liked the first one a bit more because of the medieval-themed Style. Does anyone know if the C64 Version has been cut ? As far as I can remember the 16Bit Version of this Game had 3 Studios, but here I could only find 2.

The best graphic adventure on the '64 by miles. Jaw-Dropping visuals; far from a straight 'dumbing down' of the 16-bit versions, the graphics have been beautifully retooled and really show off the 64's strengths. And it's a great game to boot.

It's marred only by the murder-inducing four-disk multiload. Give it a go if you can (if you can track it down, it's rare and bloody expensive these days).

1992, as this game comes out most users are on the AMIGA or PC. This game came too late. It's a wonder that such a huge game is possible on the good old C64. :commodore: :thumbsup:
