Great production values, but maybe you should decrease the music/background volume just a tiny bit more and prioritize your voice. Don't really care which game you cover, I will probably watch it eventually.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I've chosen Chronomaster due to it looking quite interesting and being easy to run thanks to DOSBOX and such. I will of course return to some of the titles mentioned here in the future though.

Morning fatties. I'm doing another adventure title and like I said earlier was planning on doing a video on Kingdom o' Magic. I played it for about an hour but it seemed desperately unfunny (Br*t*sh """""""""""humour""""""""") and has some weird flickering bug.

Luckily whilst making the Myth II video I stumbled across a very obscure 1994 title called The Romantic Blue: 'til Death Do Us Part by WRF Studios. It doesn't appear to have been reviewed by a single magazine as far as I can tell, but has a vague connection to the Last Half of Darkness series. Anyway, I finished it (thanks to an LP that revealed the secret ending) but it seemed too short even for a mini-video.

So I'm thinking of doing the entire DOS-era of The Last Half of Darkness gnomes (1989-1993), but I have no familiarity with them whatsoever, and there are only a handful of reviews of the DOS-era Bill Fisher titles. I was wondering if anyone here has played any of them, or whether they're well-known in the classic adventure game community?

Try Space Quest 4. Gameplay was not great, but it was the first game that showed what can be done with VGA graphics.

I finished all the DOS-era gnomes (the original Last Half of Darkness, the VGA version released in 1991, the second and third titles, and Romantic Blue), but I've decided there isn't really enough material for me to make a worthwhile 1hr video (I'm not really well-versed enough in 90s P&C adventures to make interesting comparisons, and I don't have any nostalgic connection to the series, unlike Lazy Game Reviews or the other tubbers who covered it). I think I'm going to cover the reboot titles from 2005-2011 as well. They're not insanely long as far as I can tell and the first one (Shadow of the Servants) reminds me of Scratches/DarkFall - it's actually quite creepy with all the lights turned off and headphones on.
