Who Killed Sam Rupert? is a computer game developed by Creative Multimedia Corporation in 1993 for the Macintosh and Windows.
Who Killed Sam Rupert? is an adventure and murder mystery game on CD-ROM. The player must solve the murder of restaurateur Sam Rupert, presenting the case to the media during a press conference at the end of the game's time limit. The player select which items from the crime scene will be fingerprinted or sent for examination in the lab. The player will need to interview the main suspects, as an assistant records interviews with both witnesses and suspects.[2]
The assistant reminds the player of appointment, keeps telephone messages for the player, and even suggests who the player can talk to.[3]
Development
In 1993, Creative Multimedia Corporation decided to launch a series of police adventure video games onto the market. They sought a collaboration with Shannon Gilligan, who had a successful career as a screenwriter, novel writer, and children's book author.[4] They wanted the player experience to be grounded in realism and to be removed from the magic and science fiction of other detective mysteries.[4] The first entry, Who Killed Sam Rupert? was released in January 1993.[5]
