Sat Aug 01 13:31:10 +0000 2015The best one is, of course, in Duke Nukem 3D.
A) It's 3D & functional
B) Jenny's phone number
C) Lizardman taking a dump

Sat Aug 01 13:32:34 +0000 2015Second best #DOSGaming toilet is in Leisure Suit Larry. Two necessary items are acquired up there, you can go #1 or #2, and even die!

Sat Aug 08 12:08:52 +0000 2015So yesterday I've decided that I'm actually gonna seriously play a game, maybe then finish one. Ended up settling on The Pandora Directive.
Sat Aug 08 12:31:54 +0000 2015Didn't finish it because I forgot how looong this game is. Gotta say, it might not have aged particularly well, but I still love it.
Sat Aug 08 12:32:50 +0000 2015That's the thing with 3rd & 4th Tex Murphy games: for everything that they get wrong, they get two other things right.

Thu Aug 20 14:42:50 +0000 2015I guess there's another way: Redo everything, make it shiny & soulless & destroy everything that was good. Sort of like Flashback.
Thu Aug 20 14:43:58 +0000 2015I guess the only update I will accept is the one that doesn't touch the game & offers options to make it close to the original experience.
Thu Aug 20 14:45:00 +0000 2015So, I guess, something like Grim Fandango

I can't play those games for shit, but there's just something so relaxing about them. Although I prefer the later versions.

I remember being really impressed by the graphics in Links LS 2000. The courses looked photo realistic to me then.

That's how it was spelled on a cake I got a couple of days ago. It got me confused. My name is complicated.

I used to really like it, but over the last few years a lot of stuff in it started looking rather silly. Great effects though
Mon Aug 31 12:55:10 +0000 2015Replying to @AgustinCordes
Ah. I see. My favorite sequel is Dream Warriors. It's great & Craven was involved. Well, kind of.

I still do. I'm sure it looked great on paper, because it's a fun idea, but the execution is lacking severely.

Mon Aug 31 19:51:49 +0000 2015Aaaaand Fran Bow just made its first real adventure gaming sin. A sliding tile puzzle.
Mon Aug 31 20:47:33 +0000 2015Replying to @ben_304
Nah, I quit the game. Bad enough I had to do like 4 of those in The Pandora Directive a couple of weeks ago.
Mon Aug 31 20:53:16 +0000 2015Replying to @ben_304
I'll go back to it and do it. It's not that bad. I just don't feel like solving one right this very minute though.
Mon Aug 31 20:54:58 +0000 2015We can debate if death or timers or whatever have their place in adventure games, but let's at least agree that sliding tiles have to GO.
Mon Aug 31 20:56:40 +0000 2015Fran Bow is worth it for the story and art. That was apparent even from the early demo.
Mon Aug 31 20:59:01 +0000 2015The adventure design is extremely linear and often awkward. But that was also apparent from the demo.
Mon Aug 31 20:59:32 +0000 2015Every 2d horror game that tried to be gruesome needs to take a lesson from Fran Bow. Top notch visuals that keep surprising you.
Mon Aug 31 21:01:05 +0000 2015However, I keep encountering major glitches that prevent room graphics from loading :(
