There are a few FMV games that will play on a DVD player: POV Tender Loving Care Dracula Unleashed To name just a few. Of course, they will play on a PC with DVD capability also.

Plays on XP, no problems here.

You do for In Memoriam, which is a totally different type of game. Other good FMV games, may not be XP compatible: Journeyman Project 2 and 3 Byzantine Betrayal Dark Side of the Moon |

Since you're asking, I will tell (this may not make much sense to non-norwegian-speaking people..). The word 'havrepus' was originally something one of the characters in the book that I am currently writing said to her dad once when she was a kid, about six or so. They were out in the woods, and she saw a hare (a 'harepus'). It was a simple mispronounciation that caused some laughter, and stuck. After I told some of my friends this they thought the name was kind of cool, so they started using it on me. And it stuck. So, there' s the story.

Yeah, Pandora Directive is the best but Under a Killing Moon shouldn't be missed if you haven't played it. I have the same fondness for FMV adventures, despite all it's flaws I loved Phantasmagoria 2, and many of the other games listed here.

Dracula Unleashed is one of the few FMV's I've finished. It's alright...
I'm really not a big fan of FMV's but I was fairly interested in that AGON spin-off AG mentioned a while ago, Something-or-other's Ring. Anyone know how that's coming along?

If you like violent cartoons, try out Braindead 13.

I loved those old FMV games. Not sure whether all these can be played on XP or not.
You can try all these Foxhunt Terror Trax In the first degree Starfleet academy if you are a trekkie. Police Quest : SWAT Wing Commander III Wing Commander VI Wing Commander V : Prophecy The aforementioned ToonStruck Point of View - is less of a game than a interactive movie Tender Loving Care - the same as POV , more of a interactive movie than a game Hardline Eraser Bad Mojo - although not so much of a FMV game Flash Traffic The X-file game Supreme Warrior Phantasmagoria 2 Phantasmagoria 1 Tex Murphy Overseer Tex Murphy Pandora directive A fork in the tale Spycraft Goosebumps - kiddie horror Gabriel Knight 2 : The Beast within Last edited by marshal99; 01-17-2007 at 01:49 AM. |

IMO this is a lost art. If done well (I.E. GKII) it's stunning. And I think that the GK series owes its untimely end to damn 3D. I like 3D as much as anyone but it ruined lotsa great things. I.E. I miss the Broken Sword I & II interface....

ACK!

Night Trap is more of an interactive movie than an adventure.
If you are looking for a similar game Double Switch is made by the same guy, and it's for Mega CD too... Yumemi Mystery Mansion is also an adventure for the Mega CD....

Do you think the publishers would re-release some of these games? I would love to play Black Dahlia but realize it would be next to impossible to find. I think a compilation of FMV games might sell very well.

Could be... Dracula Unleashed and Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective were re-released on DVD a couple of years ago.
