I'd like to know which games others found to be closest. I've compiled an initial list. Would appreciate suggested additions (or deletions- my feelings won't be hurt ). Morpheus Secrets of the Luxor Amerzone Amber Beyond Time The Crystal Key The Mystery of the Nautilus Riddle of the Sphinx Rhem The future ain't what it used to be!

I haven't played it yet (am planning to buy it), but it looks like a first person slide show format. Al the reviews I've read have been very positive. Apparently, it's a scary one. You have to order it from the developer, here's the link. http://www.xxvproductions.co.uk/ Regards, mszv

SirDave Guild Master Posts : 4941 Joined: 17 OCT 2002 Location: US Status : Offline	Thanks for the suggestions so far. I have Timelapse (guess I should have added it to the list!). Must admit I'm not familiar with Reah- any suggestions for the best place to get it? Keep adding to the list everybody; I'm on a mission from God!! The future ain't what it used to be!

Deleted User	I think that Schizm is another title for you to look at. I have not played it but I understand that it is along the lines of MYST and is very difficult. A number of people that I communicate with who almost never use a walkthrough used one here. Harriet@JA

Deleted User	I just thought of another one. Zork Nemesis. This is not your usual humerous Zork game. It is dark and brooding - some puzzles - lots of atmosphere - interesting story. Harriet@JA

SirDave Guild Master Posts : 4941 Joined: 17 OCT 2002 Location: US Status : Offline	Thanks Harriet and Freddie. I've got both Lighthouse and Schizm, but haven't played them yet-will add them to the list. Since these games seem to disappear soon after release, I'm stockpiling them- takes me a few weeks to finish the average game! The plan though is to preferentially play the Myst/Riven-type games first. The retailers are doing well by me- just ordered Dark Fall based on the suggestions above. My understanding is that Schizm comes from the same group as Reah so that makes sense (if my understanding is correct- something which is constantly in doubt ). The future ain't what it used to be!
