I'm afraid I'd have to say chillingham, it has an actual story not merely the catch outlaw, get enough money for new item, catch another outlaw thing that Grizly has.

To be honest, without using the money cheat to get money in the bank I actually found trying to raise money in grinzly gulch a bit of a pest, sinse it iether depended upon winning lots of games in the saloon or going in to the bank many many times and foiling robberies.

the Puzles in Chillingham were also fun (I loved the Mutant Frog), and there were certainly a wider variety of environments throughout the game.

The fighting in both games was rather fun and quirky at first, but (even on the hardest difficulty), quickly became uninteresting, and sinse Fighting was the main point of Grizly,this detracted from my enjoyment of the game.

don't get me wrong, I did rather like Grizly, but I probably wouldn't have even bought the game if it didn't come at a cheaper price with Chillingham (it was chillingham I wanted).

I'd also say that sinse Grizly was Bavisoft's first game, it was largely an experiment. Chillingham built on a lot of the concepts first used in Grizly (the interface system just using cursers for example), and expanded upon them, so I don't know if it's really fair to compare one game to the other.

i love those ideas archer. sure post them, they might consider going a gg2 a well (although from what i've they're still developing chillingham2).

Hmmm, that would turn GG much more into an Rpg Archer, particularly with the extra ways to get money. Imho this would be a good thing.

I Know what you mean about Chillingham's lack of replay value (I played it through on the hard difficulty the other day, and indeed it was rather easy), but this is true of any interactive fiction ----- unless it's specifically constructed with multiple plot paths or endings, there isn't loads of replay.

I'm stil very interested in Chillingham 2 though, particularly as we basically didn't find out that much of what was going on in the village in the first game.
