Murder On The Mississippi is a novel whodunnit adventure which is controlled entirely by joystick.

You play the part of famous British detective, Sir Charles Foxworth who is on board the Delta Princess riverboat with his constant companion, Regis Phelps.

Also onboard the boat is a dead body and a murderer. You must discover the murderer's identity and gain enough evidence to convict him before the boat reaches New Orleans.

Superb graphics show our would-be heroes on just one of the boat's four decks which contain 24 rooms. Somewhere on the boat are eight suspects, one of them is a murderer.

As you explore the ship's rooms you will find the suspects and by selecting menu options you can ask them all they know about themselves, the victim or any evidence that you have found and then, in a unique feature, store key parts of their answer in your electronic notebook.

You can back up these inquiries with searching objects and rooms for clues which may lead to further evidence.

Eventually you will piece together enough to identify and accuse the murderer but will it be too late...
