What better place than to pick your guys brains with this, it's been bothering me for a few days now.

Back in the early 90's (circa 486-DX100's) there was a game involving a female reporter. The only thing I really remember is her saying "Dont touch it, you dont know where it's been" everytime you clicked an object you werent allowed to ... was one of those point and click type games set in the early 1900's I think.

Any ideas? Google is not my friend today
 
chriskop + sludge, nice one's ... but no unfortunately after checking their respective wiki sites.

Unfortunately yes, I did go and install it, it was bugging me big time, because I was sure that I have seen that line in a game. But I think I will keep it installed, IIRC it was a pretty damn good game, so will give it a bash again. :D

:P ... kudos if you can sit through it again ;) I think the graphics would get to me, especially at those super low resolutions, that's one of the main reasons i cant install Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within again .... just wont be the same :P
