** Latest note... sadly Hector has been silenced. The pandora bot I was using for the prisoner chat has been exhausted and no longer responds. Sorry about that... it's hard coded into the game. Will try and replace it eventually...*

"Death Row" is basically a virtual pet "tamagotchi" equivalent, except your pet is a prisoner on death row. You have to try and reform him, get him healthy and improve his condition before he faces the electric chair.

Lots of little secrets and ways to help your prisoner it's not a huge game by any means but have some fun with it - the prisoner's AI results in some pretty random things happening.

To win the game you have to discover all 8 pieces of hidden evidence and email the governor for a pardon.

A few people have been asking about the artwork for the game - the icons , minigames and interface are mine, the wonderful character design and background artwork are done by my erstwhile colleague Tony Lowe , who also did the background arenas for Swords & Sandals II and is helping me with Swords & Sandals III as we speak. Brilliant art, Tone!

Cheers Oliver

"Nice work!"

Good Game. It took awhile to figure out what I was supposed to do but after playing it a few times it started to make sense.
My only criticism is the Respect meter. Way too hard to build up. Also, when the character is sleeping time should go faster. You spend a lot of time watching him rest.

Overall, GREAT GAME!

"Nice work"

Those sim games are usually so slow I lose interest before I finish them. I liked this one tho, it kept my attention and it wasnt easy enough to beat the first try. Good work. You might want to try throwing in some catchy music next time also. Oh yeah and there were a few bugs but nothing too major.
