Alabama Smith in Escape From Pompeii - Game Review

The idea of time travel wasn't really just a product of modern science fiction, but is something already considered to exist in the past. Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii is all about finding the ancient artifact that enables its user to travel through time. But if it really does what it promises is still yet to be known before you finish the whole game.

Alabama Smith is actually an archaeological student of Yale University. Being top of his class, he was sent to the University of Naples to further enhance his knowledge. But what greeted him are not lessons but an adventure aiming to find the lost amulet of ages - an ancient treasure believed to allow its user to travel back to time. Intrigued, Alabama sets his eyes on the prize, however, a secret organization is hot on his trail, and he's got to prevent them in stopping him from completing his quest.

Alabama Smith in Escape from Pompeii is a hidden object adventure where you're tasked to Nose from numerous archaeological sites of Pompeii, to find the missing pieces of the Amulet of age. Unlike game show average, each item to find you, your inventory will be added and will be used to interact with other objects in the landscape. Sometimes combine objects to serve specific purposes, but the same, use them to interact with the scenes and see how it unravels the mystery more terms, references and solve it for you.

The aim is tocomplete all tasks needed of you in each location. Currently available tasks are outlined on the lower right side of the game window and the total numbers of tasks you have to complete are also indicated. Completing tasks will involve solving puzzle mini-games but many times, you'll have to note in-game clues too as a guide for you to figure them out.
