Nick Bounty - A Case of the Crabs (2004)

by Pinhead games

It is a dark and stormy night with the light of the streets below flowing up against the buildings like waves on a beach destined to die a quick death as their bodies spread out onto the beach.. Just like the body lying in your office with a case... A case of the crabs...

This film-noir game is a Java game, and has so much mood that you feel yourself gliding down in the chair, wanting to light up a cigaret and talk about dames and trouble...

The game is rather short as are many freeware adventure games, but it is also leaving you begging for more...

  Nick Bounty is absolutely my favourite game series (when it comes to freeware). The game is played out in a film-noir setting, which really adds to the atmosphere of the gameplay.
  You are expecting dames in distress, and large mafia-bosses, and you wont be disappointed. Nick Bounty has a view to a case of the crabs...
  And he has this itchy feeling that he needs to get to the bottom of it.
  
  When you are done playing this first game, go forth and join up with Nick Bounty in "The goat in the grey fedora."
  The same developer also made Brain Hotel. Even though it does not feature Nick Bounty it is still worth a play-through.
  
  We are all hoping for a third installment in the Nick bounty series.

  A very nice flash-adventure-game made in film-noir style. Graphics (all in black-white) and sounds are fine and the whole atmosphere is great.
  
  Also the story is very funny and I had to laugh a lot while playing the game ("The Boss wants to see you! - The Boss? Bruce Springsteen??? Are you from the E-Street-Band? ).
