That is so funny! Unfortunately with some games, very true.

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon sort of pioneered that 3D style of adventure. It also uses a similar interface to Dreamfall. Unfortunately it's not as good, but it's still worth playing IMO. If you like RPGs as well I recommend Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Jade Empire. (Which is coming to PC pretty damn soon!

)

My smarmy comment earlier didn't have much of a point, but behind it is my frustration about the lack of interactivity in today's games (not just adventure games).

Sometimes, stuff goes over my head. I also get lost easily when I'm driving (even with a map occasionally). Thanks for the clarification.

I think the graphics in the Tex Murphy games still stands reasonably well in this day and age.

Good games will always be good games irregardless and Tex Murphy is certainly one of the finest as far as adventure games go.

I agree about the interactivity issue...I love being able to interact with everything in the room...I think Ferenheit nailed that pretty well...Yes it was flawd but I still love it...

And for the Broken sword game, I was looking through reviews and tons of people said the controls suck especially snce you use the keyboard or something..Im not sure cuz I havnt played it yet but if its really that bad I dont think i would like it.

*Melanie68* · 01-18-2007, 08:30 PM

I played Broken Sword 3 with a gamepad (I'm not too great at using the keyboard for direct control) and it really made all the difference for me.

Idta · 01-18-2007, 08:35 PM

Wellll I have a controller!!! hehe is the 3rd game the one in 3d?

*Melanie68* · 01-18-2007, 08:53 PM

Yes. It is different from the first two. I loved the first two but I also had a blast playing the third as well. It has some stealth elements just to let you know.

Oh, and lots of crates as well but I didn't mind those as much as some people did.

D.C. · 01-18-2007, 09:13 PM

There's a demo worth getting if you're uncertain at the type of gameplay/controls.

Idta · 01-18-2007, 09:42 PM

thanx for the info about the demo, I didnt know there is one since the only game site I check is gamespot and I didnt see it on there..

Tyrant · 01-18-2007, 10:23 PM

Try:

Runaway 2: Dream of the Turtle

...

I would like some games as Fahrenheit. Really love that game.

I'm gonna look into
Shadow of Destiny
.. what kinda game is it? Looks cool.

Happy to help.

(It's a pretty decent game.)

What about Gabriel Knight 3? It's 3D, point-and-click and has probably the strongest story in any game I've played. The graphics have aged, but I can still play that game anytime and enjoy it!

Tyrant · 01-18-2007, 11:05 PM

Yeah I heart Gabriel Knight 3 aswell. Excelent story.

cygma · 01-19-2007, 02:59 AM

Since no one has mentioned them ,Omikron and Outcast are two games which would definately capture your attention. Though aged, their graphics can stand even now, they're hybrids(action adventure but not in a silly way like tomb raider ,were talking about ADVENTURE here) ,with great stories and a little bit on the easy side. You should try them. And since this is my firest post a hello to everyone here!

KriD and I actually enjoyed them. So far anyway, we're the only ones who have had the courage to disclose such a secret.

Gonchi · 01-19-2007, 05:02 AM

You don't say. I have an alternate hypothesis to propose.

Any questions?

SnorkleCat · 01-21-2007, 04:28 AM

Seems like there are quite a few underground productions out there of various flavor...I don't play these nearly enough myself, because everyone is always hyping the commercial releases...perhaps check out some more amateur offerings?

Idta · 01-21-2007, 12:02 PM

and how do I find those Snorkle?

*Melanie68* · 01-21-2007, 12:12 PM

You can check the Underground section of Adventure Gamers as well as the Underground forums for announcements on new games being developed and their progress.

Have you tried The Moment of Silence?
