Phantasmagoria
Phantasagoria is a second installment in Sierra “We Make Games For People
Who Have Never Seen Computer Before” series. First one was King’s Quest 7 and
god knows they are going to rape Gabriel Knight 2 down to single-icon interface.
This is actually tragic because one icon does NOT allow for much and varied
interaction with a game world.
A bit of an afterthought: And so it was that Gabriel Knight 2 was brought down to the single cursor interface for the horror of serious gamers worldwide.
Nonethless GK 2 proved to be one of the best single cursor adventures of all time. Way to go, Jane Jensen!
Phantasmagoria is first of it’s kind in many ways –
First REALLY BIG interactive movie and
first REAL HORROR ADVENTURE.
It also features VERY GREAT digitized choir music.
Those factors make it outstanding although limited interface cuts down a lots of
points, at least for me.
I’m writing this guide for Phantasmagoria because I’ve had a lots of request
for it and I haven’t seen a thorough one around.
I’d like to express my thanks to Mark Seibert for a work well
done and to Roberta Williams for daring to do something different.
