A lot more than I expected to.<br /><br />There are a LOT of spelling and grammar errors, but it IS a very verbose game. Still no excuse for bad QA, but more understandable when you compare the sheer amount of words versus other games of the time. (Not comparable with Infocom's text adventures of course but when compared with other graphic adventures.)<br />TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815382857422719383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-14590048293563147482015-12-09T09:58:56.619+11:002015-12-09T09:58:56.619+11:00Nice Cinemasins reference.

Am I saying that's a bad thing? I'm not sure, but I'm definitely glad I'm not the one playing this. How did Access start with games this clunky? I'm not surprised that a game riddled with spelling errors et al is worse towards the end, either - whoever they had doing the QA clearly wasn't trying very hard or more likely ran out of time, so the start of the game is likely to have received the spellcheck and bug test coat of polish before the midgameAperamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669724908141286435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-83240806169385363962015-12-08T10:03:34.925+11:002015-12-08T10:03:34.925+11:00Yeah.

It's okay for me because I can just go back to my screenshots to see what things are but most players won't have that luxury. <br /><br />Then again, that doesn't help when items completely change their name. Like picking up an "IDENTIFIER BOX" but having a "FACIAL KIT" in my inventory. I doubt I would have thought of using an IDENTIFIER BOX on the retina scanner because ironically the name doesn't identify its purpose.TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815382857422719383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-58245516675564788642015-12-08T06:22:08.415+11:002015-12-08T06:22:08.415+11:00Hmm, maybe the identity kit was explained in one o...Hmm, maybe the identity kit was explained in one of the hints, then. I checked all the hints in the doctor's office, because I was worried I missed something, as you lose the ability to interact with items in that environment once you pick up the box, as that's the trigger for the doctor to return. <br /><br />I thought I was supposed to use the box on the portrait of Big Dick in his office, and thought I had hosed myself by saving after opening the secret passage (which hides the picture). I had forgotten about the Big Dick Card that I had picked up well before (I thought it was just a security card, not a trading card with his picture on it) so it was nice that the game used it automatically at the correct point.<br /><br />Deacon explains the "light returning" prophecy in the last screenshot. ;)<br /><br />I already had the amulet from Hammond before I went to talk to Deacon, so I didn't get to meet her at the gate. The gate was open, so I just waltzed in and had to deal with laserguy and the mirrors. So I fulfilled the prophecy before she even told me about it :/ <br /><br />I also looted Big Dick's safe before ever going to talk to Percival, so it was weird that on first meeting him he thanked me for taking care of business for him.Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805219432946673379noreply@blogger.com
