   Spending some time tonight with one of my favourite Sierra Online adventure games that flies under the radar beneath all the Kings, Space, and Police Quests.

   That game is Manhunter: New York.

   It's a shame because firstly, just look at that box artwork! It's one of my absolute favourite game covers. It captures the forbidding apocalyptic feel perfectly and feels like it could be an 80s action flick involving ninjas and post-WWIII crime-ridden cities, though the game itself is anything but completely serious and the premise sounds like schlocky sci-fi.

   It's 2004 and 2 years earlier, alien eyeballs from space invaded Earth and subjugated mankind. Penned up in ruined cities and forced to wear LOOM-esque cowls and forbidden to speak to one another, humans eke out a dreary life. Some of them are picked out by the orbs to become Manhunters, agents and crime investigators for the Orb Alliance.
