My age is... 13.
The first adventure game I played was... I think Sam & Max Season 1. Don't know what episode.
When I am not playing games I like to... visit sites like your blog, Adventure Gamers or Adventure Classic Gaming.
I like my games... in a box format.
My favorite adventure game is... Dracula 3, Cognition, or Blackwell series. I can't decide.
The thing I miss about the old games is... the old Sierra deaths.
The best thing about modern games is... that they are in position to make better and more complex stories.
The one TV Show I never miss is... Doctor Who.
If I could see any musician alive it would be... Skrillex.
My favorite movie is... Sherlock Holmes 2.
One interesting thing about me is... that I am a sucker for horror adventure games like The Cat Lady.

ReplyDeleteWow, that's really young for a fan of an old genre like this! You even like old Sierra deaths! I wonder how you got introduced to the genre.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of deaths in adventure games, I don't like them when they're unpredictale or used to punish the player for very small mistakes. A sensible use of deaths is when used to enhace the drama: e.g. Fate of Atlantis was a big exception in LucasArts' no-death policy. The recent director's cut of Broken Sword 1 removed any possibility to die, and it really ruined the tension IMO.
I like the way Sierra did things, as often a death was a way of saying you needed to try a different approach to a puzzle.
DeleteGenerally, if I got annoyed at it, it was because I hadn't saved recently and so had to repeat a section of the game. If the game is poor, and repeating sections feels like a chore, then the deaths will feel a lot worse.
Never heard of this game before, but you can get Cat Lady and a couple other adventures for $5 at
