My fondest, oldest memories are of KQ1 and KQ6. The blend of different fairy tales stands out to me for KQ1. It was so exciting to move that little pixel guy around the screen and discover a wicked witch, a woodcutter's house, a gnome (IFNKOVHGROGHPRM!), magic beans, a fire-breathing dragon, and mor...

Definitely the humor, references to various sci-fi movies, and deaths (too many of the latter in SQ2!) for me as well.

Gary Owens' narration in SQ4 and SQ6 is also legendary.

Playing PQ1 and PQ3 are some of my fondest early gaming memories. What stands out most is taking notes and thumbing through the manuals for different radio, vehicle, and penal codes as I played. Writing down license plate numbers, names of perpetrators, objectives from conversations, etc. It really ...

I love these games for many reasons, but what stands out to me most is how each game is like an artifact of the era from which it game. GK came at the tail end of 256-color VGA "pixel" graphics. GK2 is regarded as one of the best, if not the best, adventure games heavily using full-motion ...

The first game is a relatively enjoyable B-movie or cult horror story. Big mansion with secrets, spouse gradually going insane, ancient spirits, and plenty of ridiculous, over-the-top gore.

I too have fond memories of playing it very late at night in a dark room at my friend's house.

The music was great and both games were really atmospheric. I loved the feeling especially in the first game of exploring an abandoned museum. It was filled with all sorts of history and folklore from different cultures. The puzzles ranged in difficulty but you had a great deal of freedom in which o...

Great to see Lighthouse get a digital resurrection. It's a lovely but maddeningly difficult game.

I hope Shivers and Shivers II are around the corner!

Why are you sorry?

I'd seen that clip before and recognized the dialogue. I assumed you were referencing that scene so I thought posting it would add some context for others.

I think forums will always have a place on the web, like for niche communities such as this or communities like Vogons. Forums will still be more resourceful and work better as archives of important information, but social media is where people go to discuss news or just chit chat. Personally, I fe...

That's too bad. The forum had been a ghost town for over a year, too (other than some random spam bots). I asked if anyone had the source code, because I'd gladly host a portion of it off LarryLaffer.net similar to what I did with the Manhunter Shrine ... I just hate seeing such great content disap...

I vote Phantasmagoria (play the first then the second). Halloween may be over but there's always room for some B-movie horror. :) The first Phantasmagoria is a decent overall game. Puzzles aren't too hard and the spooky mansion is a pretty good setting. Phantasmagoria 2 is the kind of weird, wacky c...

Never played either of these. Might give them a try down the road.

Now release Shivers and Shivers II, Activision!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8kP9a-tcPk His explanations of the game and what it's about in terms of gameplay and story are kind of scatterbrained, but nonetheless it's cool to see MJR playing. I think he's a little harsh on the game, though. Shivers 2 is one of my favorites from late Sierra. It...
