Old school PC games
While talking to A-san last night, we discovered that we have something in common in the most unexpected place...
And it spinned off from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle talk too! XD
The conversation started from dressing up as Ninjas, to the Turtles, to arcade games, to me remembering this really old PC game I love a lot. Mentioning it gave way to more ( Read more... )

Lucasarts was a bit later for me, and though I enjoyed Maniac Mansion, mostly culminated in the phenomenal Monkey Island series. One of Lucasart's non-MI last games, Grim Fandango, is one of my absolute favourite games ever.
If Shuui loved Sierra and weird humour than Shuui perhaps should try Monkey Island, Grim Fandango and Sam and Max [which is really the leading series of the adventure genre now] - no more random deaths, mostly. Oh Sierra! The days where you fucked up my entire game and made me play it all over again because I missed out an item!

- and Grim Fandango where I got stuck and uh, didn't continue. D:
(I wonder if you guys have ever played Longest Journey...?)

I DID!!!! Longest Journey!!! :D It was sooooooo beautiful! Not to mention the spunky female lead. =X But I got stuck and never continued again ._.;;

As to Longest Journey, my god, you're lucky then,
'cause #2 took frigging @#%@#%! 7 years to be released,
and it's meant to be a trilogy, even.

Laydeeees check out walkthroughs lah D8 UHS, baby, UHS!
Jun and I didn't play Longest Journey - we played another game of the Spunky Female Lead genre, Siberia. XD We tend to steer clear of the magic genre; Siberia was more surreal and steampunk.

Sierra Adventure games just rocked so much!! T_T SO MUCH!! My life was totally owned by Sierra when I was in late primary/Secondary school. I never tried KQ8 because it just looked.... weird. o_O
Phantasmagoria was.... gory =_= 7 discs of insanity yet intriguing at the same time. Worth a play because it was really cool at that point of time! Although...I threw the game away after completing it, ahahhaa. D:
Ooohhhhh~~~ I've never heard of Maniac Mansion nor Grim Fandango! I've tried Monkey Island but the character Guybrush? irks me so much with his stupidity. T_T;; I've heard of Sam and Max though. XD That insane rabbit~ They should make more of such adventure games! There's no such games being produced in the recent years now, is there? o_O
I totally agree with your last line! *chuckles*

By the way, I'm so glad you started posting again and I really enjoyed your posts in Japan and stuff. ::snug:: But I don't tend to comment unless you DEMAND SUCH A COMMENT XD ♥
KQ8, in their wiki, neglected to mention that it was not an adventure game in the slightest. I remember the rudimentary action game system and previews where he ran around hacking heads off. He was chopping heads off. It was when adventure games started dying out from mainstream and action games came more into the fore. So sad! It's doing a minor revival now though, which I'm really happy about. Telltale Games, which does Sam and Max [and is now doing the Monkey Island sequel] is heading the new charge in a more episodic format ( ... )
