Santa Fe Mysteries: Sacred Ground

Activision, Riverhillsoft

Sacred Ground is the sequel to the adventure game Santa Fe Mysteries: The Elk Moon Murder and quite similar in gameplay. The player has five days (eight hours each) to solve a case. Randa Tasker, the wife of a local business man, has been kidnapped. With the help of a PDA and your assistant detective John Night Sky, you have to find clues and interview suspects and witnesses. Since there is not enough time to interrogate them all, choices must be made. The game's interface is point-and-click. The locations you visit are photograph stills and the game is interspersed with Full Motion Video (FMV) movies. The main screen shows a calendar which shows the number of days you have left, a sun dial showing the number of hours left today and an icon for your PDA. Within the PDA there are icons for e-mail, suspects and evidence.

Graduation

Headroom, Tenky Co., Japan Home Video Co., NEC Home Electronics, GameBank, Riverhillsoft

Graduation is a Japanese anime "life-sim" game published in America by Mixx Entertainment, the company that would later become Tokyopop. This was said to be "The First Anime Game to hit American Shores". You take the role of a homeroom teacher who is given the responsibility of teaching five girls for their last year of high school in the hopes of making them better people. You determine their class schedules, do guidance counseling, interfere with their weekend plans, and occasionally take to the streets to make sure they're not getting into trouble. Each of the girls has their own individual personality and problems, and the choices you make will determine whether they graduate from high school, what they do with their lives afterward, and whether or not they wind up hating your guts. Get them all into top colleges and your boss will praise your genius. If they all flunk or wind up wanting to marry you, you'll obviously be fired.
