You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

EFMI is the worst part in the series, but still a very good one. It's different, but there are many puzzles I like. The humor of the first three games isn't easy to follow but I thought EFMI was funny enough.
It's definetely not a pain to play.
And I DID like Monkey Combat!
It's a funny beat'em'up spoof.
Yes stooge or maybe sado-masochistic.
Sorry.
@jamarchand
YES YES YES YES
Ok, I didn't like Myst very much, but I will play Riven sometime. But you didn't tell us WHY you would chose it. Remember, no electricity...

That is another good answer...and theoretically with the right placement, you could attract a plane...

so you're saying i have to be a masochist in order to judge?
actually i agree with you but not totally... i always say that one must have played a game from start to finish in order to say if it's good or not... but this mostly applies only to say if the game is good... for example i liked Mystery Of The Druids at first... and i would have said that the game is very good then... but after a while it got unbelievably boring... i never got around to finish it altough i think i was very close to the end cause to me it was not good anymore... on the other hand when a game is bad, it's bad... ok you can't judge from the 1st screen but if you think it's bad and play it a bit and still think it's bad then you can say it's bad and don't have to torture yourself to play it to its end
And I DID like Monkey Combat!
It's a funny beat'em'up spoof.
then you should try Mortal Kumqwat (amiga only)... a mortal kombat spoof with fruit! you should see the "finish him" moves

Status : Online | coed naked volley ball aside, i'd have to opt for a RPG, due to longevity and replayability. I'd be happier bringing 3-5 (I'm greedy) but for just one I'd choose Morrowind/Tribunal since I could literally play it once for years, than start over when i'm senile and can't recall how it began so I'd always have a new game.

Coed naked volleyball probably wouldn't last being volleyball for too long, you've got a point there
Still, when it comes to replayability, I think strategy games are the king of the hill. Always the same and yet always different... chess is a strategy game too after all.
I don't think I played any RPG more than 6-7 times (that would be Betrayal at Krondor). But I still like a round of ol' Civilization or Colonization. The only problem with these games (RPGs as well as strategy) is that over time you get too good at them
The first time I played Arcanum, I couldn't even finish the game with my poorly balanced character. The third time through I was shredding the monsters to little bits before they knew what hit them...
I forgot my sig.

Status : Online | I have to try Arcanum again...I started it, but just wasn't fond of my character choices. I couldn't resist guns and technology, which are so odd for this type game, but I think I'm just more of a traditionalist. I just finished Divine Divinity...I love this game, it's best described as a cross between Ultima 7 (the designer's main inspiration) and Diablo II with a pinch of Baldur's Gate.

That's what I did (chose a technologist) and that's exactly why I couldn't finish the game. Next time I chose a magical character and it was a breeze. Arcanum is a good game though... a lot like Fallout sans the post-apocalyptic setting.

ah...good to know, perhaps I'll give it a go as a magic user or my usual choice for the first run through of a game....a rogue something about picking locks and stealing in a safe environment strangely appeals to my inner klepto.
I also have to give Fallout another go...I began it but got frustrated quickly when I couldn't seem to shoot a rat and died repeatedly at the jaws of vermin. Perhaps I just didn't conduct combat properly.
Incidentally, my favorite game for logical, strategic combat is Wizardry 8...the magic is incredibly balanced (buffing and defensive spells actually matter) and the character personality choices are so funny...they actually respond verbally (not just text) throughout the game in the personality you chooose, whether laidback, eccentric, intellectual, loner, etc.

If not, Scrabble and the OED...should last a lifetime..

Stare at it blankly and say "pretty"?
"Treasure" is unfortunately relative
