in my opinion it is much worse than Rise of the Dragon, which is an excellent
adventure.
The dialogues are pretty dull and disrespectfull to asians.
I wasn't able to finish it even with a walkthrough, because I got stuck
in that nepalese village, and I had enaugh of these stupid dialogues,
so I freed some space on my HD.

Yessssss. I`ve been waiting for this one for a long time. I remember playing it when I was a kid. It was damn fun. Was reading Biggles books at the time , so playing a pilot in an adventure game was fun hehe.

I have fond memories of this game, even though it was ridiculously easy. Any game that you can buy on the Saturday and finish on the Sunday is not exactly a challenge. Strangely, that didn't make me dislike the game, I've been hoping this one would turn up on this site for a while now. It was easy, and very short yes, but in the same way that a film only lasts 2 hours or so. Heart of China had that whole "living the film" feel to it, and that wonderful '30s style carried it off well.

I recommend everyone give it a go, it will only take a short time to play it, and it is a fun journey. Well, it was 14 years ago. It will be interesting to see if I like it as much at 30 as I did at 16. Paid a fair bit of my wages for the game back then, now I can download it for free in just a couple of minutes. How far we have come.

I might be a little bit dumb but, how do I make an airplaine out of the leaflet? :help:

:blink: :blink:
has anyone else had challenges with the sound files of
Heart of China? I went to do system set up, and the game
could not find my sound blaster, then said that it could not play
the sound as another device was using sound blaster....
i found a note on a forum that said that might mean that the files
in my sound blaster need to be updated, i have a Windows 98 SE
system, .....so i went to the site for Creative and deleted and updated and
restored, if anyone else has to do this, you need to find two
additional WAV files from Creative to get the full install to work, they
have them but it is a pain. they are eapci4m.ecw and eapci8m.ecw,
if you have the same Creative Sound Blaster Audio PCI64V I do, the
upgrade file you need from Creative is called PC164VUP, and then
once you put

eapci4m.ecw
eapci8m.ecw

in the same folder as PC164VUP you will be able to complete the
update.

So maybe it will work now, i havent tried it yet, as i have to take some
time off today. just thought i would check and see if anyone else had
similar sound challenges with HOC,
by the way, if anyone like the games with a China thene, take a look
at Qin: Tomb of the Middle Kingdom and Riddle of Master Lu but they
are NOT abandonware and need to be purchased honourably.

:brain: I had the Amiga version of this game. It had great graphics on my 500 of course. I never got around to really playing it but it seemed pretty neat! :kosta:

Played this (and rise of the dragon) and absolutely loved them both...
Wonderful games...
Although when you finished them , they are not so fun anymore as you now all the secrets....
:kosta:
