Adventure Game Scene of the Day — Monday 7 January 2013
Today, radioactive druids!
(courtesy of House of Tales’s Mystery of the Druids, duh)
I’m sure I’ll be in a minority of one here, but I really enjoyed this game!
Don’t misunderstand me, there is loads wrong with it, from one of the most annoying/confusing dialogue systems I have ever encountered to some frankly ridiculous puzzles and situations but I think the main character (Brent Halloran?) was great, funny and really refreshingly different from so many other protagonists.
I know some people went a little bit crazy about the “Steal from a tramp” puzzle but personally, in the spirit of the game, I found it perfectly fine and funny! Overall the mix of the ridiculous and the serious/horror type elements won me over. Definitely time for a replay methinks.
Good choice Kuru!

Ah, so THAT’s what King Graham was looking at in the Caption Contest…

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Let’s hope he didn’t eat with them too!

Not a total minority!
I’ve had my copy sitting by for some time for a replay (only Gog/AS sales have stopped me from loading it). The tramp puzzle was only annoying because it was for coppers for a phone call and therefore came across as very contrived. And it was Brent Halligan.
One thing I had forgotten was that the game was over 3 CDs (just looked) so it’s probably a longer game than I remember.
Life is what it is.
What do you think has aged worse? FMV or 90s 3D?
