Description of Fascination

If you haven't play Fascination (also known as רצח במיאמי, Retzah Be'Miami ( Murder In Miami )) already, go ahead and download it now! Published in 1991 by Coktel Vision, Fascination (also known as רצח במיאמי, Retzah Be'Miami ( Murder In Miami )) features adventure in a adult, detective / mystery genre.

Fascination is, thank goodness, the last game in Coktel / Tomahawk's short-lived line of risque, mature-themed adventures that began with Emmanuelle. Aside from its eye-catching "mature" label, the game is a rather mundane story about a business man who has invented a chemical drug that increases the sex-drive. Unfortunately he was assasinated, and you accidentally get hold of the drug sample. Your mission, naturally, is to try to deliver the sample to the right person and avoid being made out as the murderer. For starter, you play a woman in this game-- a fact that won't make any Roberta Williams fans raise eyebrows, but in this case it seems as if the designer made the choice only as an excuse to flaunt mildly erotic, useless scenes such as you taking a shower. Another big problem is that you can't do much that's not related to the story, and there's no going back, so if you forget to snap a paper in the hotel, you have to restore an old save. This is made worse by the fact that some puzzles are not very logical, and it can takes hours to find the solutions. Apart from these gripes, Fascination is a good murder mystery, with interesting plot and some good puzzles. Beware of pixel-hunting, and save your game often if you want to finish this quirky game.

You have to use the INSTALL command first. This will create a directory "FASCI" (by default C:\FASCI) and copy/create all the required files (all.ask, disk0.stk, disk1.stk, disk2.stk, disk3.stk, go.bat, loader.exe, tira.imd, tirb.imd) into this dir.

I've tested this with Boxer for Mac, which is just a fancy frontend for DOSBox. First I thought the game would hang during install, but after incrementing the cycles (on Mac "CMD + Up") to a whole bunch it worked.

After the game is installed into c:\FASCI the game can be started via the batch file GO.BAT, which leads to a question, which soundcard to use. As always Soundblaster might be the best choice.

Try to emulate a floppy disk with the image (DISK0.STK) mounted in. See the howto for more information.

Hi,

There seems to be something wrong with the game files. It keeps saying something about DISK0.STK in French when I run the game. I think the file might be missing.
