I remember that puzzle really annoying me.
Runaway still looks good, though, doesn't it? |

Yeah runaway has spiffy graphics. The new one looks much better though.

IMO, Gabriel Knight still looks good...
I was never much into graphics.

Hmm. I didn't play that far into the game, but recognized it nevertheless. The pixel-hunting wasn't enough fun. But worse was that you could look at an item and get absolutely nothing from it, only to find that 5 minutes later, you'd get a completely different response (i.e. the handbag in the hospital). Please, game designers, don't do that!
I did like the graphics, though, for not trying to be photo-realistic but having their own clear style. I also still like Another World's graphics, though, so I'm obviously not much of an authority :-) |

Yes it was a very fine looking game, sadly that's absolutely all the game had going for it.
I wander how many other unsuspecting Adventure Gamers this one managed ensnare with it's looks, fortunately that trick only works once so I won't be going anywhere near the sequel.

I kind of liked Runaway. A bit of a poor man's Broken Sword (in looks), but a good diversion. Of course many of my gaming opinion are based on an all around impression of graphics/gameplay/length and of course how much i paid for it.
Anyone else find that they enjoy a game that their friends didn't like, but then find out the friend paid $20 more than you did? Runaway was one of these. I think I got it for $14-$20 and liked it fairly well. My friend got it when it came out for like $30-$35 and thought it was horrible. |

I only paid fifteen bucks for it. I had fun with it, but there wasn't really much memorable about it. It was missing something... but it seems they tried really hard to make a great adventure game. Maybe tried too hard?
