Call of Atlantis

Call of Atlantis is a beautiful game and it's not hard to imagine that it was a labor of love for somebody.You travel through the seven lands surrounding the Sapphire Sea (Rome, Greece, Troy, Phoenicia, Babylon, Egypt, and Carthage) your goal is to steal back the lost crystals. To do this, you must appease a local god by acquiring broken items native to the region. Little details, like grapes swinging in the air from an explosion or mouseover, fish that dart away when you click on them, animated backgrounds in every single scene and more nifty particle effects than some AAA budget games can claim... all make up an impressive presentation. Unfortunately, it's unimpressively displayed at 800x600 resolution, so if you're playing on an LCD screen the hidden object scenes will look somewhat fuzzy. But those scenes are just appetizers compared to the match-3 main course, which is as addictive as the best of match-3 games and looks fine at what is, let's be honest, a low resolution these days. As for sound, I can't say that I fell in love with Strategic Music's background themes, but in these kinds of games I typically turn off the music so I can listen to my old The Cars albums at full blast.
