Anyone remember this game? Classic Amiga. There's also a sequel I never knew about.

First site also has Shadow of the Beast. Another classic Amiga.

To my knowledge there was never an official sequel, though there is a fanmade one, Zax McCracken Between Time and Space.

It was the first game after Maniac Mansion to use the SCUMM engine, right after it was Monkey Island, so it is often forgotten.  Kinda like how The Sting won the oscar between the Godfather 1&2, yet so very few remember it.

If you like that game style I highly recommend The Dig and Indiana Jones Fate of Atlantis.

I gotta jump in and suggest www.scummvm.org also, awesome engine for running your old scumm based games in. You can even use smoothing effects.

I have nearly every game scummvm can handle on my cab for trackball fun. Monkey Island 3, Full Throttle, Beneath a Steel Sky (free to download and run in scummvm), so many awesome games.

Sweet. Sounds cool, Glaine.
Glaine:
Just a note, only Beneath a Steel Sky and Flight of the Amazon Queen are free, the rest you still have to buy off ebay or amazon...

Those 2 are on the scummvm.org website though.
