Five Magical Amulets

I don't know how could I have missed this game... It is a good example of how the borders between what is amateurish and professional slowly diminish. This game is superb in every aspect - lovely and quite unique graphics, good puzzles, well-written dialogues and absolutely stunning (and 100% original) music - one of the best made for computer game ever (seriously). A MUST PLAY!!!

But of course! I took the screens from official site, that's why they are in Czech.

I tried this game in window mode and had problems - will install it at home and try it there on full-screen mode and window mode. I hope the windowing problem is not a bug because it looks like a good game....

Yep - quality adventure game. No windowing problems at home either.
Checked the readme file and found:

I played this for a bit more than an hour, and since this is in no way my type of game I must admit that when it comes to freeware point and clicks this one is of a rare quality.
The music and story is very good, but the start is very slowmoving and hence you might loose interest just there.
I was actually going to quit it and give it a failing grade, when I decided to look at some reviews on it. A reviewer actually wrote that the game was very slow at first, but moved on to be better.
I then confided in a walkthrough to get past the tedious beginning (it is not cheating when you are validating) and found out that it envolved a lot more than I thought.
So please do not quit this game in the beginning but stay on. This is actually one of the better games on this site i you ask me.
