According to the "official" Tintin site they are not even brothers,
just similar in appearance, I thought they were twins forever,
in the old days so it was a surprise to me. I loved the old
books and even the period outfits and old style cars etc.
what a record all that is of a lost time and era.....

great to have the games, but so far I am not getting very far
with Tintin in the museum in the game up on the site, i will
try again later this weekend.

I see. Maybe something got lost in the translation, 'cause here in my translated edition, Captain Haddock always referred to them as the Siamese twins. Thanks! k:

Well, maybe he was just referring to how idential they look,
without actually meaing they WERE twins. It looks like there
were challenges all through out Herge's life with translating,
and publishing his books in different languages, and he often
later changed some of the ones published in the 1930's to
sort of update them, he changed I think it was the Black Isle,
set in England and Scotland, to make it actually look for like
those places, when it was publshed in English. He also changed
one of the books set in Africa to update it a bit later on.

we are lucky thanks to the site and great admins and staff and
members here to have this great game to enjoy for its own sake
and for tintin.

The names were already translated into other languages, I mean, it wasn't a decision of whoever created the game. I guess in some countries they'd have trouble pronouncing the original names

You will have to buy it somewhere. No links to warez sites will be given on these forums. Try e-bay or amazon or any other online store of your choise.

I'd be willing to sell the game for a price if you pay shipping and handling, and I do mean sell, I'm not letting this one go for free :P

Infogrames left ESA some time ago, and we somehow overlooked this title when rechecking their games.

Unprotected - go and download it!
