Qin: Tomb of the Middle Kingdom

Windows - 1996
Also available on: Mac

One of the most educational and literate games ever released, the game unfortunately suffers from the snail-like pace and puzzles that require meticulous reading of the on-line encyclopedia.

Similar to Riddle of Master Lu in that you're trying to find the lost tomb of Qin, China's first emperor, Qin treats the subject much more seriously-- too seriously for most people. Still, its intriguing subject matter, excellent educational content, and well-integrated puzzles make it a game worthy of all Myst fans and those who crave an intellectual challenge and don't mind the lack of human contact.

I've downloaded this to see if we can play it again after losing the game discs. We really enjoyed it, and it has been over 2 decades since then. I look forward to coming back to rate this better and to look up other games.
Thanks a bunch. Woo Hoo

Loved this beautifully illustrated game "back in the day,", and enjoyed with my daughter, who was 7 [or so] at the time.

Ah nostalgia!
