stop complaining about the games unless you can make something better. The first two were very entertaining & I’ve only just bought the 3rd one tonight. I thought it was great that Brian got the bar chick in part 2 in the sack. He deserved it for chasing that hopeless Gina for so long.

The end.

To me, Runaway and its sequels are among the best adventure games ever produced, topped only by the likes of The Longest Journey, Dreamfall, or Monkey Island 1. Two things got me hooked immediately: the extremely atmospheric sound track (Vera Domínguez has the voice of a goddess!) as well as the story line that, for once, started out as relatable and realistic. I mean, which guy in his right mind wouldn’t help and rescue some hottie, just to, maybe, possibly, get to sleep with her, sleep with one of her equally hot friends, or, if all else fails (and, don’t kid yourself, you’re just playing a video game), at least peek up her skirt. And while I’m at it: flirting with some sexy, exotic waitress in the beautiful surroundings of Hawaii doesn’t put me off even a bit. Not even when my in-game girlfriend has just been kidnapped or disappeared otherwise.

The games, for the most past, are exactly what I’m looking for: living out a fantasy. What did irk me a bit, though, was the stupid plot twist (later in the first installment) involving aliens and what not. Has there ever been a decent adventure game that would keep things real?

Hi! To get the thing from the ledge, the wood door in the floor(bad english) needs to be open to stand on,,,but I assume you already figured that out.

Surprised on some of the critisism. Im a big fan of the genre, dont remember everything from the first, but really enjoyed it. The second not so much, but still one of the better I have played. The 3. one looks great so far. And I know that lots of other adventure players rates it very high. I guess a lot of it comes down to taste. I like the crazy logics in these games. And the colourful characters makes it even better.

“If you are stuck somewhere in this game then please check the walkthrough of this game. http://www.techarena.in/guide/19384-runaway-twist-fate-walkthrough.htm”

this walkthrough is not written by an english speaker and needs decoding to understand it. Not very detailed. Says “take the box of (from) the ledge” but doesn’t explain how – which is where I’m stuck!

The graphic engine behind Runaway has been entirely rethought and reprogrammed in order to take advantage of modern graphic cards. Now, shadows, dynamic lightning and smoothing effects ar used more efficiently and with more beautiful than ever graphics.

I rather liked Runaway, but i can’t really explain why. I suppose i was just starving for adventure games.

Wow. I bought both of the Runaway games in a bargain bin double pack a few years back, but I never installed them after discovering they were both DRMd up the wazoo.

Lucky escape, then.

And if adventure game fans think your gameplay is ridiculous you’ve crossed some kind of threshold into pure insanity.

I would recommend Runaway to hardcore adventure fans that already played through all the great titles.

I was perennially surprised that there were people who actually recommended Runaway. I won’t. The writing is terrible, the puzzles bad. Either alone might be forgivable, both together is not.
