Did Wadjet Eye finally manage to get control over this game?

[Mr. Lambert]

First time it's been on sale in like over a decade I think, and I notice on the Steam store page it no longer lists the prior publisher, only Wadjet Eye as developer. Glad to get a chance to pick it up at a reasonable price! I played it many years ago not on Steam (can't remember where, don't have access to it anymore wherever it was) and remember enjoying it a lot, like I have all of Wadjet Eye's games.

I was wondering the same, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the sale price!

Now it would be nice to make the game available in other regions

Wadjet Eye mentioned the discount on social media, they still don't own it but it seems EA randomly decided to put it on sale themselves. Maybe they want to capitalize on Wicked putting Oz back in the cultural spotlight?

Yeah this has been on my wishlist since forever. Finally got it!

If you click on Wajet Eye, it links to the EA page. How do you get official support on this game?

You don't.

Hi all. Sorry I didn't see any of these messages before now. Sadly, I still don't have any rights to this game. I can't sell it, I don't have access to the steam page, and I can't support it. Even if I was allowed to support it, I wouldn't know how. The game was written in an engine that was created by PlayFirst and it hasn't been supported or updated in 15 years at least. I'm VERY happy that EA put the game on sale, but if the game doesn't work on your system I can only apologize.

Aww well that kind of sucks. I, at least was able to trouble shoot my issue by using win 98 compatible. Sounds like you are in the same boat as the person that made scratches. Sort of the lessons learned about owner ship and rights. I hate to see people that make something loose them.

I have most of the Wajet Eye point and clicks and loved nearly all I've played. Keep up the great work!

It's just to bad this game isn't on GOG, as even my legacy win 2k system couldn't use steam to run this game as it's way out of date for it. GOG at least you can DL the games and then drop it on an old rig and play. Is there any work around for doing that with this game by chance? Steam really needs to do something about that, when games run on old systems but you can run it because you cant install steam on them. It's quite the conundrum.

@Wadjet Eye Games:

In my case the game works on my Windows 11 system, except Fullscreen mode is stretched on my 16:9 Resolution Monitor instead of being Letter boxed in the center, even if I use XP Compatibility Mode. But if I play the game in Windowed mode, the game window is too tiny. I wish there is a way to resize the game window. Also I did buy this game but refunded it after seeing the wonky screen resolution issues.
