Topic awaiting preservation: A Case of the Crabs!

If you feel you've got time to spare, this is a quite entertaining detective Flash-game

I've not played for long yet, but if you are into oldstyle problem solving, you'll be hooked!

that was actually pretty fun. Didn't take too long (less than an hour), but it was fun.
Thanks for sharing

I'm stuck.

I've been to the Shipping Docks, the Boss's place, the Blue Crab Cafe, Jim's Shack o'Crabs.. but now I'm stuck. Can't figure out what I'm missing or where to go next, and it's making me nuts. Not going to get a whole lot of work done today, I can see.

Have you been IN the Blue Crab Cafe yet?

Yeah, talked to the waitress, talked to the cook and looked at everything I could find in the kitchen, went out the back door and get picked up by Wilbur, taken to the boss. Can't see to get beyond that step though.

Right now in my inventory, I have a crab, a toy crab, a knife, can halves, cheese and the business card.

Check out everything you can in the alley behind the Cafe, then.

Figured out what I was missing. That was a cute little game, I enjoyed it.

Took me a little too long to complete, but the ending was pretty good. =)


 

Well good game, only had to use the hints once :P Really reminded me of Day of the Tentacle.
