The police was called to this address. John will discovered that the tenants are old friends of his; he too narrowly missed a fate like theirs... from mobygames.com
This fragment made me think how up-to-date this game is despite the plot being set in early 90s... :( from mobygames.com
A great aspect of this game are the rich character backstories. Here we have Morris Avery, from whom John once tried to steal a TV set... from mobygames.com
...and it were Morris and his wife who helped him sort his life out by not reporting him to the police in exchange for him helping them around the house. from mobygames.com
You can play with the radio a bit if you want to. However, an important mission begins here: Morris Avery's twin sons have disappeared. from mobygames.com
A bar with a journalist known to John and Al. from mobygames.com
The game has really nice character portraits - something missing from AGI games, but it's not "real AGI", it's a Windows game with AGI style graphics. from mobygames.com
The Santeria store - outside view... from mobygames.com
...and inside view. I really liked this screen. from mobygames.com
Surprisingly, John and Al don't really mention the (unjust) drug law, they rather treat the owner as a crook rather than someone dealing in legally suspicious wares. from mobygames.com
After some trouble, John and Al manage to interview a wounded police officer who might help them find "the Mexican with the scar". from mobygames.com
An abandoned lot next to the tracks. This blue looks so calming... from mobygames.com
The video cassette and electronics store. from mobygames.com
After some trouble, we manage to reach Frank Pellington, a paranormal publisher who befriended Morris Avery's teenage sons. from mobygames.com
The Avery twins became interested in researching obscure legends. Here the Santa Suerte story begins... from mobygames.com
There's also a museum next to the bookstore and despite the hurry, we can take a tour. from mobygames.com
Frank Pellington is a bit of a narcissist... from mobygames.com
A tour of the museum. Click both mouse buttons on everything, the stories are really interesting! Hats off to the developers for having collected them. from mobygames.com
This game mostly adheres to the EGA palette... but not always. Here we clearly have more shades of gray than the two available in EGA. from mobygames.com
Reaching the gangster Rico, for whom the Mexican with the scar works. These tattoos worked out really well in these low-res graphics. from mobygames.com
Time to make a quick escape... from mobygames.com
The map is very simple, but I nevertheless enjoy collecting map screenshots. from mobygames.com
The old warehouse from mobygames.com
Inside the warehouse - John and Al managed to get in through the skylight. from mobygames.com
The Mexican was really offering human hearts to Santa Suerte. The boys could have met the same fate if they weren't rescued... from mobygames.com
Interesting light effects for such a simple palette. from mobygames.com
The bloody altar of Santa Suerte. from mobygames.com
As in most EGA games, white people have bright red faces in this game. However, Santa Suerte is not quite alive... from mobygames.com
...so another non-EGA shade is used for her skin. I think that "bedsheet white" would have been enough, even Commander Keen was white as a sheet despite being alive. ;) from mobygames.com
After being run over, Santa Suerte's body was delivered to the morgue... and we are in for a surprise at the end... from mobygames.com
The jury of Los Angeles County District has ruled in favor of four police officers accused of abusing their power against coloured citizen Rodney King, and thousands of people take the streets to protest, causing an unprecedented riot.
Tonight, amongst riots and builidings ablaze, officers John Barker and Al Jackson respond to a call in the South Central district. The children of an old friend have gone missing. The only lead they have is a dangerous criminal who’s got all prostitutes fearing for their lives.
In a battle against time, they will face violent street gangs, their very own colleague officers, and even the supernatural.
