AMBER: Journeys Beyond – now on XP/Vista!
One of the games that [with normal tools] just couldn’t be made to run on Windows XP (& Vista of course) was AMBER: Journeys Beyond. However an update from the online persona ‘SquirtTheCat’ earlier today means that’s all in the past now 
SquirtTheCat’s website has a whole host of goodies for us gamers who like to see continued support for games long after their creators have forgotten about them. The majority of the updates are for Sierra games but today’s update brings a custom installer for AMBER. You’ll need the original media so don’t go thinking you can have AMBER for free! It plays well on a pretty basic laptop with the only annoying bit that data is read from the CD rather than from the hard disk. Manually copying the data to the hard disk and running the game without the CD simply presents a ‘There is no disk in the drive’ error. Perhaps this can be addressed in a later revision?!
Download the installer for the game here.
