Behind it: a dead man.
As it turns out, the body of Raleigh Cartwright III.
Sir Charles has three days to find the murderer, because then, the ship will reach New Orleans, giving the culprit a safe chance to escape.
The joystick controls the player's sprite to move into the respective direction, and pressing the button opens a menu with appropriate commands for the current situation.
Walk around, Inspect an item, or examine evidence.
You will meet some characters who also happen to be suspects.
Use these encounters as a fact-finding session.
Take notes on what he or she has said.
Share these notes with other passengers and crew members.
But your first job is to find the body.
Until you do, any information you gather will be of little value.
Once you find the body, the other passengers will prove to be much more talkative.
Collect as many notes and evidence as you can to solve the mystery.
Once you think that you have it solved, make an accusation by going to the character that you want to accuse and by using the joystick, point to Talk to [character's name], and press the joystick button.
Then point to Accuse [character's name] and press the joystick button.
Depending on the amount of evidence collected, you will know if your hunch was right or wrong.
Murder on the Mississippi has four possible endings with many variations on each one.
Don't let the Delta Princess arrive to New Orleans before you solve the mystery, or the murderer will get away.
About Commodore Amiga
The Commodore Amiga (1985) was ahead of its time technically — multitasking, custom graphics and sound chips — and built a passionate following in Europe in particular, where it rivaled and often outsold contemporary consoles. Amiga collecting today is a niche but dedicated hobby: original boxed software on floppy disk is comparatively scarce since floppies degrade, making well-preserved complete copies genuinely valuable to the right collector.
Gamevaro tracks Murder on the Mississippi for Commodore Amiga with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Murder on the Mississippi to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This AMIGA release dates back to 1986.
