The Dig is, for sure, one of the best point and click adventures I’ve ever played in my whole life. And I assure you, people: I’ve played a huge lot of them in my life. The Dig has everything an adventure game should have: a great story and plot, great characters, great gameplay and, of course, lots of good puzzles.

Graphics were, back in the time, a great achievement, even in 320x200x256 colors and musical scores were delightful. The dig is a whole great project from its roots to the top. In a single word, unmissable.

Time Played: Over 20 hours
Difficulty: Hard

Phantasmagoria still is one of my favorite adventure games. Its story feels like a classic horror movie and presents the player a lot of scary moments and uncomfortable scenes. The ambience has a clear sense of gothic and the whole story reminds me of old horror movies, such as the shinning, for example. Roberta Williams did give us a 360 grades twist in terms of adventure, bringing the player, for the first time, more matured contents in all senses.

Gameplay, however, is very simplified and finishing the game reveals itself a very easy thing. Puzzles are also too easy for a mature game such as this, and that constitutes one of the less pleasurable things of Phantasmagoria. If you haven’t played it yet, this 1995 game will still be a nice bet for a great time. Totally recommended.

Time Played: 5-10 hours
Difficulty: Easy

This was the second part of Roberta William’s Phantasmagoria and, even having a totally different story, it was one of the best FMV games I’ve ever played. Lorelei Shannon did a great job while creating this game’s plot, characters and story. Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh delivered a dark and wicked atmosphere, full of tense moments and great fun. Puzzles are fair, characters actings are nice and the whole game shows a fair amount of realism.

For all lovers of the first Phantasmagoria and Gabriel Knight series, I have one single advice: play this game now. It is indeed a great graphic adventure.
