Gone Home is also, like, a natural and logical evolution of Thief TDP and Unreal, and stuff. Like totally.But Gone Home is "a wonderful game".

Between Dear Esther, Dream, and now Gone home, I an loving the sudden revival of first-person, Myst-like exploration games.

There’s *nothing* Myst-like about this! And I’ll slap you and challenge you to a duel for saying so.

Nice to see you stick up for Myst for once, John. Sometimes I still miss the era where the puzzle games were pre-rendered beauties rather than those unsightly polygonal things. Even with today’s ludicrous polygon counts, it still leaves me feeling empty inside.
John Walker says:
I think you might have slightly misinterpreted my angle here : )
Gone Home is amazing, which is the first of the reasons it’s nothing like Myst.

Obviously. Riven, Exile and Revelation are the pretty ones, and I wouldn’t recommend playing the original Myst to anyone. RealMyst is a decent replacement if you want to play the entire series.
John’s criticisms of the graphics are not really fair though, seeing as everything looked like ass back in 1993.
Those old arcade ports are like 3kb in size, when you need to put several games in a cartridge you can't be too picky. The good stuff like Mario and Megaman take a whole cartridge and sell by themselves.
edit:
I had a Phantom System, huehue NES clone from back when Nintendo didn't want anything to do with us. On magazines like SuperGamePower or GamePro there were ads about it. Pretty decent, actually. Could run jap cartridges. It had aGenesisMega Drive controller for some reason.
A+ graphic design over there, by the way

Didn't know there was a time Nintendo didn't want to do anything with us.
If you were angry about Super Colombine Massacre RPG,
If you were triggered by J.F.K.
Then you're not gonna like [8:46] - a VR game about the 9/11 attacks, straight from the north tower.
I still wonder why we keep getting posts about the crap that comes from RPS.
I still wonder why we keep getting posts about the crap that comes from RPS. I just don't see the appeal of that site or its writers.
"Recently, I was looking through my daughter's phone, and I found many pictures of a cartoon skeleton with one glowing blue eye and wearing a hoodie. When I asked my daughter why she had such demonic images on her phone, she told me there was nothing wrong with it because it was from a video game. How do I help my daughter not be attracted to such demonic things?"
