The 7th Guest was notable for being one of the first cd-rom only games for DOS. It was an atmospheric game with some challenging puzzles. And the obligatory cheesy acting as was usual for FMV games.
Recently a VR remake was released, so if you have a VR headset you might want to check it out. They changed up the puzzles so it’s not a one on one remake, and that makes it more fresh in my opinion. Though being able to just freely move and look around the Stauf mansion would have been enough for me.
I get that. Though most games I know what I get. The rough edge makes a great experience because the times are different. So it’s more like a time capsule. See what classified as acceptable when I was young.
Though in the case of phantasmagoria, because we borrowed it for like a week, I haven’t been giving enough time to actually make a coherent memory of it, so the small flashes I remember are all I have. And I afraid the game doesn’t hold up to the hype I gave myself over the years.
Most games I played a lot, I can still enjoy. And games I’ve never played are a cool time capsule. Though that game is in a kind of limbo to me.
Dungeon keeper is awesome though! Enjoy! Also Doom 3 still holds up, but was overshadowed by Half Life during its release, and the departure from the Doom formula made it the bastard child of the series.
I’ve noticed. Doom 3 really is a horror survival, especially with the original torch mechanic which enhances the scares but is also a little annoying.
What’s really annoying the most is all the secret compartments from which the enemies appear. It’s becoming tiresome, especially as I can’t understand why anyone would build a base with so many hidden areas! 😆
That’s one thing held over from the original. Monster closets. Not the best design choice.
