Forgotten adventures

Gabe · 02-10-2009, 08:23 AM

Forgotten adventures right from mid 90's heydays of ag, if you get a chance to play any of them you'll found quite intriguing,while no real new titles around.
My offerings are:

*Fantasysci5* · 02-10-2009, 08:44 AM

Dark Seed looks cool, although I'd probably have to paly the 1st one.

AndreaDraco83 · 02-10-2009, 09:21 AM

The Dame was loaded is wonderful!

A great game, unfortunately underrated!

Rex Nebular · 02-10-2009, 09:37 AM

My favourite on that list is, by far, Normality. A unique concept & story, full of social criticism, really intuitive interface, awesome graphics for its time, overall a great game.
I also liked The Dame Was Loaded and, if you are into horror games, Dark Seed 2 & Harvester are a must.

Is nemesis a wizardry adventure really an adventure? i haven't played it but its screenshots look too rpg-ish.

Brimstone · 02-10-2009, 09:49 AM

God!! I nearly forgot about Harvester. Don't remember the birthday party scene though.

*Fantasysci5* · 02-10-2009, 11:24 AM

What are these games about? You think I'd like any of them?

AndreaDraco83 · 02-10-2009, 12:48 PM

I think you'd like Harvester!

Brimstone · 02-10-2009, 01:03 PM

The only thing I didn't like about Harvester was the ending.

Spoiler:
You either become an evil assassin or you died stuck in the town.

I played Journey to the Edge and Normality.
Couldn't get past the arcade stuff in Journey, but Normality is great.

Space Bar and The Dame was Loaded are on my searchlist.

Ehmmm anyone?

*Fantasysci5* · 02-10-2009, 03:33 PM

I looked up Harvester. It looks pretty cool. Is it an actual adventure, though, or a shooter/fighting game? It's pretty expensive, though, so it'll probably have to wait along with "Discworld" for me to win the lottery and buy it.

Fien · 02-10-2009, 04:40 PM

I think Nemesis is more action and RPG than adventure.

D.C. · 02-10-2009, 05:56 PM

I've played In the 1st Degree, which was definitely a little over my head back when it was first released. I didn't really like it at the time, but that may have been 'cause I was so young. I did like The Dame Was Loaded, though. It had a Tex Murphy, noir-like vibe to it. Good times.

It is a full-fledged adventure.

The Space Bar is great fun!

*Fantasysci5* · 02-11-2009, 12:07 PM

Why are the games that I want to play for the 1st time; HArvester, Discworld, Gabriel Knight, so expensive and out of my reach?!

Dara100 · 02-11-2009, 02:16 PM

I can't decide if it's a good or bad thing that I've played ten of the twelve games.

Shadoan and Nemesis are the two I haven't played.

Discworld 1 and 2 have been rather expensive for years. But all Gabriel Knight games are affordable on ebay. Just a couple of dollars, with the possible exception of GK1. Have you tried gametz.com?

I second that. One of the most underrated adventures ever.

Well see, I don't really trust ebay. That you have to bid on it, and the site doesn't support you if the sender doesn't send it...it just scares me. I buy my stuff on Amazon.
