Description from the packaging.

A crash landing globe spanning adventure.

From the breathtaking splendor of 1930 Asia, three strangers are about to set forth on an adventure that will span an entire continent.

She is the daughter of a ruthless American land baron, facing death somewhere in the lush mountains of central China.

He is a down-on-his luck pilot with only three days to rescue her.

Their guide to freedom is a shadowy master of stealth and cunning from a far away land.

Together they will travel the crowded streets of Hong Kong, cross the blinding snowfields of the Himalayas and ride the fabled Orient Express...all on a journey of life, love, and death that could only begin in the Heart of China.

Features:

  • Breathtaking graphics and original stereo soundtrack bring the adventure to life.
  • A rich, detailed story unfolds through characters that think for themselves, remember your actions, and challenge your every move.
  • A powerful yet easy-to-use point and click interface allows you to explore, communicate, and interact without typing.

  • The quality of the contents inside the Slash package are of lower quality than the original Sierra/Dynamix release.
    • The disk labels on the Slash version are printed on a dot matrix printer
