Malcolm 's Revenge is the subtitle for the third game of the legendary series of adventures: Legend of Kyrandia. The game follows the usual concept of previous games - nice cartoon graphics, funny situations and a number of tasks which require logical and illogical solutions. The story, as the name suggests is all about Malcolm. Everybody blamed Malcolm on the fact that he turned everybody to stone and also killed the king and queen of Kyrandia. Malcolm himself was eventually converted into stone and thus imprisoned. A lightning strike made him free, and then it's up to him to tell his version of the story. This is the place where you take the control over Malcolm and obviously it's your turn to help him on his way, lead him through all obstacles and tricky situations. The classic adventure game Malcolm's Revenge was released as the only part of the series on CD only, which included dubbing and a lot of rendered animations. The difficulty was considered higher. Players especially appreciated the unusual ability to regulate Malcolm's behavior and a lot of options for solving tasks.
