Cool! Is Zork Nemesis and Gran Inquisitor recommended?

Yes, I'd say so. Zork Nemesis is like Myst meets Planescape Torment (even though it was released years before PS:T). I haven't played ZGI but everybody seems to have liked it.

 

[Jaesun]

OK thanks BRO! I'll click on the GOG link above to give Tal moneys TO KEEP THE CODEX SERVER FROM CRASHING.

Grand Inquisitor is the real gem but I liked Nemesis as well. Might want to use a walkthrough depending on time investment options, it's obtuse as fuck.

 

[Gragt]

I never finished Nemesis because it got trouble on my XP machine back then, and I didn't bother to try it again though I should. It has many Zork elements but it's a bit dark for a Zork game. Still a cool adventure game if you like Myst-style games, and the soundtrack was composed by Mark Morgan. Grand Inquisitor is pretty good though, with a lot of humour and a story that mimics the then current state of adventure games.

 

[Jaesun]

Walkthroughs are for faggots. But thanks for the info guys. BOUGHT! And seriously, I can't complain about 2 games for 5$.

ZGI is my favourite adventure game ever. One of the few games that made me literally laugh out loud. Great music too.

Did somebody mention Myst meets PST?

Bought!

 

[Crooked Bee]

I hope you fags are buying all this via the Codex link.

I hope you fags are buying all this via the Codex link.

Damn, you're getting edgy, Bee.

 

[Jaesun]

HOLY FUCK! MUSIC BY MARK MORGAN! I'M CUMMING BUCKETS!

 

[Gragt]

I even wrote it earlier, you … well … fag.

I hope you fags are buying all this via the Codex link.

Damn, you're getting edgy, Bee.

Nevermind her edge, her sting is what hurts the most.

 

[Crooked Bee]

So I just bought Zork Nemesis and Grand Inquisitor, plus GK3. I don't really have time to play them atm, but I'd really like to.

 

[Turjan]

So, I have Arcanum, the Krondors and the Phantasmagoria games from that list. I'd like to get the Gabriel Knight games and Zeus and Poseidon. Is any of the other games of the latter series worth it? What about the rest, in addition to the two Zork games that have been mentioned?

 

[tuluse]

Pharoh is fun too, but it feels an awful lot like a reskin rather than a new game, if memory serves.

 

[CorpseZeb]

Well, buying oldies from G.o.G (in torrent era) it is a pleasure but a pain (or a better expression - a great sadness) in the same moment - those monumental manuals... oh... pdf's are dust comparing to the Real Paper Manual (even printed).

Ps. Arcanum, great and greatest Vampire the Redemption and Krondors saga - Winter, winter is coming, right...

 

[octavius]

After buying the Krondors, Arcanum and Vampire the Redemption I think I'm now complete.

Walkthroughs are for faggots.

Normally I would agree and I never use them for RPGs, but holy shit do I no loner have the patience to walk around trying every item in my adventure game inventory on every pixel of the adventure game world. Having sex for the first time in 1996 seems to have put a stop to that level of time wasting.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Does anyone know why gog and Lucas Arts still haven't made an agreement? Grim Fandango is the second most wanted game after System Shock 2 and there are lots and lots of Lucas Arts adventures and earlier Star Wars game ( Some which are hard to run in modern systems ) that people would buy in an instant. It's a win-win situation for everyone. Why the hell they don't do it?

I actually don't wander around for hours, I will then stop playing and then do something else and kind of go over things in my head.

Oh yeah! I had completely forgotten about that. I sure hope thing's didn't fall apart. I am just hoping they WILL still offer the classics with the old MIDI so I can continue to make recordings of these old and awesome soundtracks.

I think Lucas Arts doesn't want to offer their games DRM free since they have them on Steam

Except they don't have them on Steam. Not all of them, anyway.

Not all of the, but some, they don't have any on gog.

Maybe they lost the source code and can't patch them to work on Win7

ScummVM makes that irrelevant.

For the older games, but not Grim Fandango

I assumed it was always LucasArts being ridiculous rather than any rational reasoning. Well got all the PQ games, I once had. Including SWAT - oh God how awful this game was. My GOG backlog is far too large though, feh.
