On Amazon they have changed the name of Agatha Christie " the ABC murders" to "Death on the Nile"

Am I going crazy?

Agatha Christi Death on the Nile is a Casual Game that was released quite awhile ago. They totally messed up the description and the game.

Thank goodness! Thought I was going crazy, as last week it was listed as ABC murders.

Amazon really is confused! Well, I guess there ARE a lot of Agatha Christie games now, so confusion is understandable.

Yeah, the problem is though that Dreamcatcher (The Adventure Company) didn't not release the casual game Death On The Nile. Could we have two games coming out from Dreamcatcher? I am confused

There's no longer an Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders entry on Amazon. I think you're right, orchid girl -- for some reason they took the old ABC Murders entry and switched the title to Death on the Nile.

I don't know why, though. It's a mystery....

Possible explanation -- The Adventure Company/Dreamcatcher asked for the ABC Murders entry to be deleted at the same time that someone (possibly Dreamcatcher) has decided to publish the casual Death on the Nile game, and the two entries somehow got fused???

That could be. I had put the ABC Murders on my wish list, so it is definitely that one that suddenly changed to Death on the Nile.

Guess we'll have to wait and see. At least I thought if it is showing up on Amazon for pre-order, it must be coming soon. Who knows now

Orchid, Byron posted on the other Amazon thread:

I guess we'll just have to wait for an announcement.

Ana

i ordered this from amazon and if the name is changed to death on the nile , then i already have it from big fish . so i guess i will go into amazon and cancel my order for it, so it will it be the dame game as on big fish?

my9, as you can see the description and the title do not match. Amazon obviously made a mistake. I'm sure by the time it's released they'll have it straightened out. I would cancel my preorder till they do get it straight though.

Ana

thank you ana. thats what i am going to do
canceled my order. now i just sit back and wait for my othere 3 games to come in

I hope everything does get straighten out so we all will know for sure if another one is coming out and what the true name of it will be . The ABC Murder box cover was interesting. I was thinking on getting the book to read before the game comes out if that is the next AG game .

Trinny, it was confirmed that there will be an ABC Murder. See post a few above yours.

Thanks Ana , I misread what was being said. That is good to know, I guess I will go ahead and get the book before the game comes out and start reading it.

My advice is don't read the book as there will be huge spoilers for the game, i read all Agatha Christie books before playing the games and i knew pretty much what would happen except from the slight changes and the changes in the ending. Play the game then read the book is my advice.

Thanks Butcher for the advice. Before I never read the book until I played the game but this time I thought I would, but you are right I better not .

Box Art for Death on the Nile (from amazon):

That is Poirot from the last 2 AC games and not Poirot from the casual games, still confused here.

Butcher, this is not an adventure game, it is a Casual game. They also come boxed and not just downloaded.

Death on the Nile

Amazon is obviously still messed up. The description of the game is still for ABC Murders.

Ana

It's still a bit confusing, why would they put Poirot from Orient Express and Evil Under the Sun on the box art of a casual game, Poirot doesn't look like that on Death on the Nile.

Spyros

Butcher -- the whole situation is extremely confusing! I've written to my contact at The Adventure Company. Still waiting to hear if there's a reply.

Thanks Becky, hopefully we will have definite news of the situation here, thanks again.

Spyros

Official word: the box shot currently on Amazon is a mistake by Amazon. It should be the Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders box.

Thanks for the clarification, Becky.

Thanks

Thanks. I thought I was going crazy too.
