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.
