Interface in gaming ...Good going so far Trickster!<br /><br />Interface in gaming is so important that it can be baffling to see games that frustrate so much. Obviously they wanted to create their own design, rather than copy the likes of Sierra or Lucasarts. Once you are a bit more familiar with it, hopefully you should find it easier to cope with. I'm sure it won't be the worst you'll see.Andy_Panthrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18231815646876343380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-81626063100070317892014-01-26T01:07:34.819+11:002014-01-26T01:07:34.819+11:00Hey!

It was maybe the first adventure game I played from stat to finish as a kid and I absolutely loved it! That being said I think it helped that it was one of the few games in french at the time and that I was fascinated by time travel, because your beginnings in it reminded me also of how frustrating it could be. The "you're not close enough" still haunts me to this day.<br /><br />I hope you'll be able to avoid some of the most aggravating flaws of the game (like finding the flag in the toilets) and that you'll enjoy your playthrough, in order to help getting the french adventure games reputation out of the pit!Alfred n the Fettuchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586336731691674651noreply@blogger.com
