The Apothecary of Ostia is the nice looking, nice sounding, but easy to play (it's intended for kids though), second instalment of The BBC's Roman Mysteries point'n'click series [subbed by sassymom08].

:How unlike (and unworthy of :-)) the BBC: this game is buggy!
First time I played, I paid my coins but it wasn't enough. I tried to pickup the papers, figuring that delivering them would earn me some extra money, but I couldn't. I tried talking to the apothecary, but all he kept saying was that I should put some coins on his bench and he would see if it was enough. I even tried bribing him with some healthy leaves (without telling him of course that I found them in front of his own doorstep) but nothing worked.
So, I finally reloaded and then not only could I pickup a second bottle of honey, but I also found money both on the bench and in front of the apothecary shop (it wasn't there before!). Happily, I went inside, willing and able to pay, but the pot on the bench was already full of money as well!
All in all, I ended up making the medicine as required, while still the lucky owner of a pot of honey and two fistfulls of doll.. eh asses and sesterces...!

Spud
:This game is a bit buggy. There were coins on the bench but none in front of the apothecary so I restarted the game and only then were the coins in both places.

:Vmklover - the date is 5th June - the English write their dates with the day first and then the month...

:arrgggh! this game is so buggy! i have the same problem as helanren. there is no money in front of the apothecary. but i dont know how to reload the game. i keep refreshing and come back to find that the game has been saved and is 'in progress'.i can't make a fresh start. help! it's driving me nuts.
Lady Lark
:PB, just start a new game with a different name!
I didn't have any problems with the 2nd set of coins--they were there the first time. These are, as usual for the BBC, really nicely done little games. Sure, they're for children, but I love the cut scenes when you do something correctly.
What! We have to wait a whole week for the next installment? Darn.
