    Blair Witch series

    It's been ages since I played this (I remember upgrading my PC in 1999 just to play this and System Shock 2 :lol: ) and would be interested in thoughts from someone who played it more recently, but here is what I remember: - World and atmosphere were good, they introduced a bunch of cool...

    The Legend of Skye: the most Monkey Island looking game since Monkey Island

    If it helps, I'm pretty sure you end up stealing from or scamming every dark-skinned person in the game.

    The Legend of Skye: the most Monkey Island looking game since Monkey Island

    Some thoughts on the game after finishing it: - The comparisons to Secret of Monkey Island are apt. Besides the interface and art style, some puzzles seem to be directly inspired by those in MI or MI2 , although they subverted this in at least one case - Puzzle design was uneven. There are...

    Development Info Breath of Thunder Kickstarter Campaign with a Twist

    he's developing it for PC, Switch, AtariVCS, and several other platforms. :what: I assume he means it will be playable on the new Atari systems that can also play modern games, but I'd pay at least $5 to see an RPG that runs on actual VCS hardware

    Realms of Antiquity: The Shattered Crown - Ultima-like retro RPG

    My potentially helpful observations on the game are provided here. It's a great game, very highly recommended! https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/realms-of-antiquity-the-shattered-crown-ultima-like-retro-rpg.132229/page-8#post-7804044 I went with creating a hero and hiring NPCs. I think there...

    Alpha Protocol enhanced rerelease on GOG

    My only question: Can I import my Recruit-level completed game? I've been waiting 12+ years for that to pay off.

    The Will of Arthur Flabbington - modern European point-and-click adventure from Gugames

    https://af.gog.com/en/game/the_will_of_arthur_flabbington?as=1649904300 Based on the recommendation of eviltentacle in another thread, I recently played this game and thought I'd comment on it. The Will of Arthur Flabbington was released in late 2023 by Gugames of Switzerland, and is a...

    Incline WrestleQuest - Pro Wrestling And RPG Fantasy Collide

    Seeing this game listed in the GOTY 2023 poll reminded me that I played it for a while, so I thought I'd post some impressions from what I remember: The good: + Fully commits to the pro-wrestling theme and adapts wrestling tropes to (J)RPG mechanics. The items reference wrestling terms and...

    Sierra Sierra SCI0-era appreciation thread – any other games like this?

    These two games are very similar for me, in that both were very atmospheric (CoC actually made me want to learn more about what life was really like in Dark Ages Britain) but a letdown in terms of actual gameplay. CoC had some weird design choices, like all of the action sequences which had...

    Sierra Sierra SCI0-era appreciation thread – any other games like this?

    Search for the King was really painful to get through - unfair puzzles and shitty parser, even by the standards of that time. I hold that against Altered Destiny since it was made by the same company and I think using the same engine, but I'd be willing to try it if it addresses the many...

    Sierra Sierra SCI0-era appreciation thread – any other games like this?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! I wasn't aware there were AGS games with a text-based parser, but I'll check it out. I'm guessing it's like RPG Maker where there are some decent games and a lot of shit to wade through to find them. Accolade's Search for The King from the early 90s is the one...

    Sierra Sierra SCI0-era appreciation thread – any other games like this?

    I have a soft spot for the Sierra adventure games made using the initial versions of the SCI parser (SCI0, in use from around 1988 – 1990). I expect they are mostly considered as a kind of interim step in the evolution from the older AGI games to the better graphics and icon-based input of the...

    Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

    Yes, this is true (if unrealistic) for all crowbars in the game. That's why it's better to save the lockpicks for chests etc, and pry open the doors.

    Jagged Alliance 3 from Haemimont Games

    I finished the game recently (v1.4) and generally agree with the good-for-what-it-is comments that others have already made. My team (leadership IMP, Nails, Fox, Tex, Ivan, and Magic) was balanced and never got too annoying. If I play it again it would be years from now with a completely...

    Kingsvein - new tactical RPG from Rad Codex set in subterranean world

    Awesome, congrats on the release! How much of the content is procedurally generated? Out of the three previous Rad Codex games I liked Voidspire Tactics the most mainly because of the hand-crafted content (or so it seemed), so I'm hoping this one follows the same approach.
