Note Regarding Spoilers and Companion Assist Points: There's a set of rules regarding spoilers and companion assist points. Please read it here before making any comments that could be considered a spoiler in any way. The short of it is that no points will be given for hints or spoilers given in advance of the reviewer requiring one. Please...try not to spoil any part of the game...unless they really obviously need the help...or they specifically request assistance.
If this is a game introduction post: This is your opportunity for readers to bet 10 CAPs (only if they already have them) that the reviewer won't be able to solve a puzzle without putting in an official Request for Assistance: remember to use ROT13 for betting. If you get it right, you will be rewarded with 50 CAPs in return.
It's also your chance to predict what the final rating will be for the game. Voters can predict whatever score they want, regardless of whether someone else has already chosen it. All score votes and puzzle bets must be placed before the next gameplay post appears. The winner will be awarded 10 CAPs.
Commenting on old entries: We encourage and appreciate comments on all posts, not just the most recent one. There is need to worry about "necroposting" comments on old entries, there is no time limit on when you may comment, except for contests and score guesses.
If you were one of the first ten to answer the poll and wonder where your vote vanished, we had to redo the poll completely, because one game was missing. Just make a new vote and it should be all well!
ReplyDeleteI presume someone misclicked Hugo's House of Horrors in an attempt to be funny and click Les Manley. (It's the only way I can think of either one as having been chosen.)
ReplyDeleteI should have probably mentioned there's a rare variant of Ringu-curse attached to voting Les Manley: when the nefarious voter least expects, a herd of frenzied Elvis fans starts pouring out of hers/his computer screen, trampling the poor soul underneath their feet, while searching for their King. The only known cure is to play the first Les Manley completely through, without any help - some consider this a faith worse than death.
DeleteI'll admit that I was one of them jokers who voted Emanuelle previously but I didn't pull the same stunt this year.
DeleteEven though I know it won't win, and technically SOMI and QFG2 were better, I still voted for King's Quest 5. It was a truly impressive game for me at the time, a few atrocious puzzles aside.
ReplyDeleteIf it were a vote for 'best game you've never played but read about on the blog' I probably would have picked Elvira, but for the best game overall I just can't go past the clear leader.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for Guybrush's first adventure here.
Hey, I do cut limbs, but those aren't mine in the first place.
ReplyDeleteOh... dang... There goes one of my, if not the most, favorite author. Pity this game game is on ZX Spectrum and would not see it being played here.

Mine too! Sadly Death never rests in Roundworld.
DeleteNow if you allowed preference voting for each person's top 3 games of 1990, I wouldn't have had to vote against my own game. ;-) Whichever was actually "the best", Secret of Monkey Island shipped with fewer bugs than Quest for Glory II. Besides, SoMI is Lori's and my all-time favorite adventure game.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I should point out that you could have put your own game into equal 2nd place by voting for it, but for some reason I'm going to mention it anyway.
