The Laura Bow series consists of two games written by Roberta
Williams (Creator of the King's Quest Series) and realeased by
Sierra On-Line. The first game in the series, The Colonel's Bequest,
was realeased in 1989. It was shortly followed by the sequel, The
Dagger of Amon Ra, in 1992.
Both games are murder mysteries written in the style of
Agatha Christie and set in the 1920s. One on an
isolated Louisiana plantation, and the other in a New York
museum respectively.
The Laura Bow series should be notable for, among other reasons,
being one of the first computer games to have a female
protaganist.
