Well, my signature says it all: Simon the Sorcerer 3D is, in my opinion, one of the most cruelly betrayed gems of adventure gaming. There are reasons for this, of course, and I myself managed to finish it only recently due to some bugs. But still with all this hype for blocky Minecraft I feel bad for Simon, which was blamed so much for its dated graphics 10 (!) years ago, and so little attention was payed to the wonderful writing and experimenting with 3D. This and Dark Corners of the Earth - another underrated adventure and a spark of light among resident evil clones - were the best games Woodroffes produced in all their 30 years history. It's a shame that they also led to a bankrupt.
