I found my old copy of "In The First Degree"
Now this game was out ages ago back in 1995/96 and now I have

Hi guys (and gals, probably),
In the middle of a conversation with a friend, memories of a game I
used to play about 10 years ago came back to me...
I remember:

Is anyone here familiar with The Sims?  My 10-year-old niece is begging
for The Sims 2 and we've already determined that isn't appropriate for
