I'd be happy to snag that remaining copy of Loom if it's still up for grabs. It's actually one of the few games of that era I've never played through and it'd be fun to take a crack at it.<br />The Anonymous Pineapplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765496808368799666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-16092884148643449312014-05-22T20:35:28.513+10:002014-05-22T20:35:28.513+10:00Ever wanted to be a cockroach?

Paradigm Shift: Looks like ...New adventure games! <br /><br />Paradigm Shift: Looks like a horror game, but the inventory at the top of the screen with rope and things? Total adventure game. I like the art style, but the individual scenes look a bit bland. On the other hand, it is also very cheap. http://store.steampowered.com/app/299820<br /><br />The Last Door - Season One or The Last Door - Collector's Edition, the Steam page is unclear. Annoying "8-bit" art style (Giant pixels, but too many colours and sprites for true 8-bit. Also I think most of the CGA games we saw had better art), but lots of praise and such on the steam page. I'm not sure it is OUR type of adventure though; sadly that is such a generic term now. However, the style of cursor leads me to belive it is, doubly so as none of the screenshots show minigames or a weapon. http://store.steampowered.com/app/284390<br /><br />Stranded: Another point & click with pixel art. This one however, uses a decent resolution and doesn't scream "LOOK AT ME! I'M A LOW RES INDIE GAME" nearly as loudly. This one looks like a classic adventure game, inventory, cursor, character on screen, etc. It also has the best one-sentance creepy game tagline ever as well: "Do you know what it is to die alone, and so far from home? " http://store.steampowered.com/app/295250<br /><br />20 sales, 15 new games.

(My copy of the QFG Anthology actually warranted a CD restoration before the advent of GoG - it came without 5, and it almost looked like it had gone out of print when I had it done. It's probably not a collectors item or anything, and I definitely still use the GoG version should I want to play them again - but I still have the CD safely tucked away in a pouch. In case the Internet shuts down and all.)Aperamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669724908141286435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-56572796620994671922014-05-20T04:53:38.035+10:002014-05-20T04:53:38.035+10:00I assume this is first come, first served, but if ...I assume this is first come, first served, but if it's random, I'd like QfG, too, or SQ.jhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415842745918377178noreply@blogger.com
