The Breakdown is an old school, point'n click adventure game for download.
"After the intro it will become clear, that you're playing the pointy haired main character, and your objective is to get to your home town and cash the winning lottery ticket in time."

Download Here (http://files1.demonews.com/files/43cf10a7ba626e330e4bacef823450a9/adventure/TheBreakdown_v099_setup.exe) (14 MB)

Workaround for small bug when there are 2 lines of inventory objects: "to prevent the inventory from disappearing too quickly, move your mouse all the way up to the top of the screen and only then move it downwards."

Minimum system requirements:

Windows 95/98/98SE/ME/NT/2000/XP (don't know for Vista...)
Pentium II / 350MHz
48MB of RAM
20MB of hard drive
DirectX 7.0 compatible sound and video cards
DirectX 7.0The phone's busted! I'm doomed!

Yes it is, and yes you are, but you're also a resourceful young pointy haired dude. Maybe a souvenir from the hacker conference might shed some light on things?

Help! I can't get rid of the snake!

Try to think what snakes are usually afraid of. And animals in general. (The snake can't be scared off before you have the right things, which aren't available until you get you car back.)

How do I get someone to tow my truck to the station?

First, talk to Sam. He is bound to have his friend's phone number written down somewhere. What was the nickname of the friend? It might have a similar ring to the friend's real name..

Oh, man, is there a way to the back room of the station?

Yep, there sure is. The window of opportunity is stuck, though. You need something to bash and something to bash with. Don't bash the window, though, that would be vandalism.

The chest! Is it openable?

It is, yes. You should read the hacker book and then keep your eyes and ears open.

I STILL CAN'T GET RID OF THE DAMN SNAKE!

Calm down. Snakes are afraid of fire. You need to think old school. Medieval, even. What did they use for lighting, then? Torches, maybe? Could you perhaps make something similar?

The server seems to be down at the moment, but should be back again.

Meanwhile, you could try the page from Google cache which I have found, hope it works for you, too:

I thought that this web site is for on-line players ONLY. Why do we recently find more and more downloadable games? Is it not against the policy or something?

No, it's not. There are players who like to play downloadable games, too.
We have several categories, and only one of them is the downloadable games.
For those who don't want to download games, we have a lot of online games, and we keep looking out for new ones all the time :)
