Cirque de Zale
The game casts you as a circus worker who was banished to an unknown land by the magician, his employer. Your goal is to start up your own circus on this strange new land - who cares about rescuing maiden in distress anyway? ;) The graphics is very polished and match the quality of Monkey Island, and anyone who has played Monkey Island 2 will find more than a few locations familiar. Although Cirque de Zale is a relatively short game you can finish in 3-4 hours at most, it is very fun while it lasts, thanks to superb dialogue writing that drew more than a few chuckles from me. The cast of NPCs you will meet is diverse, and are characterized very well. Puzzles are a bit on the easy side, but you will have so much fun you won't notice :) For anyone who misses early Monkey Island games, Cirque de Zale is a delightful "old school" adventure game that pays homage to that classic. Thumbs up!
