Description

Depending on your appreciation for Harrison Ford's Han Solo persona (and the addition of lewd jokes that would never have gained approval from George Lucas), you'll either love or loath Divide by Zero's point and click adventure game, Innocent Until Caught. Jack T. Ladd (groan) is an arrogant, wise-cracking intergalactic thief who needs to raise a wad of moolah at short notice to get the interstellar tax agency off his back. Failure to meet the target within 28 days is punishable by extermination so it's safe to say he's fairly well-motivated.  Entertainment value mainly arises through playing 'spot the pop-culture allusion' or relishing the wry delivery of some of the wittier lines of dialogue. Elsewhere Psygnosis seem embarrassingly fixated on cringey innuendo in a desperate effort to appeal to a more mature audience, or perhaps an immature adolescent one? Whatever their objective, I'm not entirely sure it hits the target.
