Really cool old games that nobody remembers.
Jackie Blue:
Man, don't bring up The Longest Journey, it just reminds me that the PC adventure game genre is completely dead except for homebrews (which are often great, don't get me wrong, *cough*Yahtzee*cough*, but they also tend to be insanely short, unlike Thee Games of Yore like your basic TLJ.
dennis:
TLJ was great. Dreamfall was good, too, but too short, and I'm not entirely sure they want to make a third one. It also lacked some of the atmosphere I liked about TLJ.
Anyone remember the Tex Murphy games? I loved those, ever since Mean Streets.
Dimmukane:
They're making the third episodic, supposedly. There hasn't been a whole lot of news outside of that, though.
Jackie Blue:
I enjoyed Gabriel Knight 2 more than TLJ.
It might just be the absurd Tim Curry voice acting though.
But I also thought it had better puzzles.
Dimmukane:
I didn't play TLJ for the puzzles. Lateral thinking puzzles aren't as interesting as adventure game designers think they are. I played it for the story, which is definitely up there in terms of best game stories ever told.
