If they look appealing, why not just download any one and try it? What have you got to lose?

Time?

Naïveté?

A sense of dignity?

Space in one’s mind?

Wait this wasn’t another quiz, it was rhetorical question, wasn’t it..

I liked The Gene Machine and Touche. Fun games, not great though. I don’t remember multiple endings. Both are somewhat non-linear. In both the protagonist is a “gentleman”, with his manservant as a sidekick. We did a Community Playthrough of Touche, see here: https://adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/7603

@Karlok: avatar & signature game on point, as usual.

I’ve given “Inherit the Earth” a try and I didn’t really enjoy it. It has three protagonists, that’s cool, quite an elaborate fantasy setting if you’re into that stuff, but it seemed a bit tedious to me. I think it might appeal to people who like to play story-driven RPGs in “Story Mode” or “No Combat Mode”.

You figured it out, it’s a quiz. 2 out of your 3 answers are correct. There are a total of 42 (of course). Keep going, I know you can do it.

And knowing you, I know how cruel it is to challenge you to this quiz.

I always try to use an avatar+sig that is relevant in some way to a specific thread or discussion, but this week I just picked one from the ready-to-be-posted pile. Did I miss something, please tell me how it is on point?

Next week I’ll do a Nelly Cootalot one. I haven’t played the game, so no quotes available yet.

I found Inherit the Earth boring too, stopped playing it after 30 minutes or so. Not my type of game. CyberGeek, here’s a link to the Community Playthrough: https://adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/2751/

Ha, I thought noticed something like that. In this case, though, it’s more of a term of parlance. I think it was popularized by A Tribe Called Quest, but it’s quite common in Hiphop and adjacent cultural phenomena. It can be applied to anything you consider high quality/particularly agreeable, from the rhythmic elements in a song (“this beat is on point!”) to food (“these roasted yams are on point!”).

That’s a long-winded way of saying it’s basically a slang term for excellent.

I wonder which Nelly Cootalot character you’ll pick, I think I’ve already met a contender in the second screen of the game.

@CyberGeek: I’m really quite amused by your process. All of our recommendations appear to set you in a certain direction and then you inexplicably take a couple of turns and ask us about random(?) games. No sarcasm, it’s kind of beautiful.

If you’d like, please tell us what you think of the games you give a try in one of these threads!

@The_Good_Baron: you scoundrel! also: see your inbox.
