It is a horror classic in the same way as many of the "so bad that they are funny" 70's & 80's horror movies. It is not really good, but if you watch/play it with the right mindset, it can be quite entertaining. 

Finally finished Chronicles of mystery: the scorpio ritual today, i always quitted halfway because i got bored with the storyline.

Now that i've seen the ending, i feel the storytelling is even more bland and mediocre.

The Knights Templar or Hospitallier or whatever have been overly used in AG's, enough with it already.

Otherwise not such a bad game, puzzles are ok, graphics and voice acting are good.

Playing  A.S.A. A Space Adventure and completely loving every minute of it...first person, solo exploration, Sci-Fi game that is very challenging and brings back gaming where note taking is a must. Add some good mood music and a great narator voice acting & script....priceless.

Just finished Haunted. Fun game in the Deck 13 style. I'm looking forward to their Jack Keane 2. The first one was great.

Now playing (actually I just loaded) Lost Chronicles of Zerzura. I took a peek and it looks like my kind of game but since its about 3:30am, I'll get to it later.

Finished Dracula 3 and was disappointed by the ending. Currently playing Corrosion: Cold Winter Waiting and really enjoying it so far.

There use to be another Ivinia who frequented this Forum daily years ago...Wonder what ever happened to him...at any rate welcome to the Forums new Ivinia.

After finishing ASA A Space Adventure (A little known gem) I just started Cognition, Episode 2: The Wise Monkey. I wasn't expecting much from episode 1 but was pleasently surprised. Hope The Wise Monkey is as good.

Ivinia?  Is that really you?  It's good to see you here!

I'm still playing The Space Bar, and I'm hoping to join AG's community playthrough of Callahan's Crosstime Saloon if it will work in Boxer, the Mac version of DOS Box.

Ivinia!!! Great to see you!

Just finished up my first playthrough of The Cave with the Scientist, the Knight, and the Monk. It's pretty good, the Cave's running commentary is fun, and the puzzles are decent. I would have liked to have seen more puzzles that require cooperation from the group, especially if they were tailored to the abilities of the characters.

Playing Syberia and Aura: Fate of the Ages. I'm pretty new to Adventure Games and JA so...hello everyone

I've played and enjoyed both of those games, and hello back. 

Welcome to JA and AGs!

I'ts alway a pleasure to welcome someone new to this great world of adventures. We see so few in these times.

Welcome Shapeshifter878

I am envious of all the new adventures you will be going on. You have so many great ones to enjoy.

Well, my hat's off to you. I finished the game last week for the first time, and I found it to be one of the most complex and difficult 3rd-person point-and-click adventures I have ever played, along with Discworld 1. Some of the difficulty is unfair too, as there are large sections where your goals are vague and the required actions very poorly hinted at. I pressed on, frequently using a walkthrough, because I liked the dumpy little chap and wanted to see him overthrow the tyrannical OmniBrain. Spoiler AlertFirst democratically elected President of the Galaxy isn't bad for his trouble, but it's a pity he didn't also get the girl.

I am generally going through a retro and indie phase as far as adventure gaming is concerned. In the last 3 weeks I also finished Lure of the Temptress, a tribute to the old Lucas Arts games called Ben There, Dan That!, and a puzzle game disguised as an adventure called Big Brain Wolf, that has a quirky premise and some interesting brain teasers. 

And I just started Ben There, Dan That! sequel Time Gentlemen, Please, and a replay of Gabriel Knight 3, meaning to get a full score this time.

I got bored with all my games and decided to re-play the Lost Crown instead. Hours of fun ahead.

I am having loads of fun playing Callahan's Crosstime Saloon for the first time.  It's a delightfully funny game with some excellent out-of-the-box (and even off-the-wall) puzzles.  Everything is clickable for a comment, and the puns run rampant.  I'm just about to start the second chapter, which is all about my favorite subject, chocolate. 

I have just finished The Lost Crown, which I loved even more the second time round and am about to start on Alpha Polaris. I am in the mood for scary games at the moment!

Another one of my all time favs! Just added to my replay list.

Me and the better half just finished Barrow Hill. Her first time through it, my third.

I've not played an advenutre game in a while, so let's change that. Black Mirror 2 it is! I remember that some people here disliked the game, mainly for its main character, but I'm going to give it a try. 

*edit* I've only just begun, and I can already see why people dislike the main character. And none of the other characters have been particularly pleasant either.

I'm playing The Walking Dead, and dang is it a good game. The puzzle solving is not that great, and sometimes the hotspots are not quite where they should be, so I need to click next to an item that I want to pick up, but the characters are all (thus far at least) believable and relateable. I really would not mind seeing more adventure games in the vein of this one, where the characters take center stage, and you are allowed to make some serious choices that impacts the game later on. 

I will check out ASA Space A..

hi Ivinia, nice to see you!

Finished Lost Chronicles of Zerzura. Very nice 3rd person point & click. Big gaming world, no action or timed sequences, linear...just the way I like 'em.

Now playing The Dark Eye Chains of Satinav. Another 3rd person p&c. Beautifully drawn, good voice acting, interesting story (fantasy). Linear and no action or timed sequences (so far).

I couldn't find this game for sale in the US so I had to get it from the UK (via Amazon) so I had to pay a little more but it is worth it.

The Dreamfall Chapters trailer, does that count? It's not out until next year but I've gravitated to 3D environments. I can fire up Dreamfall, RealMyst or Uru maybe. I realize Myst 5 has three gameplay options including point & click and 3D mode. Haven't returned to them recently because I guess  I'm always looking out for something new.

Maybe I'll get back into the 2D game style with the new titles. Not sure yet although sometimes I reminisce about the past greats (imho) of Riven, the Atlantis series, and Legacy of Time.

Ah, Legacy of Time was one of the very first games for me and so were the Atlantis series. Great memories.
