Fantastic game at the time, and I reckon still very worthy of playing today.

Yeah! That's more like it. About time someone posted a good game.

So I guess the unwritten rule that Scenes of the Day are only for weekdays is broken now?

Never played Rex Nebular, I'm afraid.

I've started that game, just got out of the ship...haven't played in a while though.

Looks pretty nice, actually. When was it made, and by whom?

GoT · 05-19-2006, 07:52 PM

Looks like the style of graphics i like. who's the publisher?

It's a Microprose adventure in the early 90's which pretty much means it's a piece of crap. I get pounded every time I say it but I HATE this game. The only thing that kept me going in this game as a horny pre teen was the remote chance of seeing a boobie and it only happened once.

Well that's not fair. It's not crap, it has good puzzles, a lucas arts style of humour, and pretty much the same inventory style as monkey island .

I loved Dragonsphere.

DragonSphere, like most of them didnt have what it takes to get me to finish. I may have spoken too soon. MIcroprose did release Return of The Phantom that I thought was average. I got through that one due to the fact that I enjoyed the theme going into the game.

This game seems to be a favorite of the forums.

Dragonsphere was a pretty fun game through it lacked personality. I quite enjoyed Return of the Phantom... though the ending was disappointing. I can't remember if I ever even played Rex Nebular or not... hmm.... *thinks so hard his brain melts and leaks out his ears*... No, I don't think so.

I liked the Microprose games but they all had just enough flaws to keep them from "classic" status.

And I'd always thought that Microprose only released Dragonsphere, Bloodnet and Phantom of the Opera. Didn't know the existence of this, err... Rex Nebular, is it?
