  set of pc games
  
  I could not get the games to run. I am sure its my pc. Not fast enough cpu I think. It did look great. Wish I would run. I cannot get some Sierra games to run on mine and they are great games too.

  I could only play 2 of the 5 games. Keepsake keeps crashing even through I downloaded Adventure games patch. DeadReefs is not playable, also Return to Mysterious Island. However, tunguska is a good game and probably worth the price of the collection. I am still playing Nibiru.

  Hours of Quality Adventure Gameplay for Little Money
  
  I agree with several reviewers that mention how much adventuring you get for so little money in this collection. I found all of the games to be enjoyable to play although enjoyable in different ways.
  Keepsake - visually awe inspiring; now that's what I expect a School of Magic to look like
  Nibiru - like watching a movie with puzzles for commercials
  Secret Files: Tunguska - this was a surprisingly good straight forward adventure game. I could associate more with the characters because of a lighthearted, almost comedic atmosphere.
  Return to Mysterious Island - this is a first person adventure style that I particularly like with lots of inventory and building your own combinations of items.
  Dead Reefs - a ghostly adventure that for a few minutes gave me that Afraid of the Dark creepiness. I had to install the Xvid driver to get this game to run on any of my systems.
  The bottom line is that no matter which type of adventure game style you prefer, you will find it here along with some quality efforts from other styles.
  And all of these for less than the price of one regular game. I recommend it as a nice collection for seasoned adventure gamers.

  Disappointment
  
  Could only play one of the games, everything else was a nightmare, so I give up, a waste of money.

  Don't waste your money
  
  What a great disappointment! I was not able to play Dead Reefs at all. System requirements state you only need a 64 MB DirectX9 compliant video card, when you actually need nVideo Ge-Force or ATI Radeon to play Dead Reefs. I was also unable to play Keepsake after just getting in the game because it froze. I followed the suggestion from The Adventure Co. to change from Windows XP to Windows 98, but it still would not play. NiBiRu would have been okay but for the the main character, who is a mean, bullying jerk. Tunguska is another walk two steps, solve a puzzle, walk two steps, solve a puzzle, which I find tedious in the extreme. I prefer games like Black Mirror, Dark Fall, or the Lost Crown, where you have a great story and wonderful atmosphere with several good puzzles. The one star is for Return to Mysterious Island, which I enjoyed, even if it is quite short. I also think it should have been mentioned that this is a DVD, not CD. Luckily I have a DVD drive, but many people would probably assume it is a CD. I wish The Adventure Company would get their act together.
