I was playing Dreamfall with no knowledge of TLJ, then someone at HG101 gave me his copy to rectify that, on the grounds that I give it to someone else when I'm done with it.
I never finished Myst. I heard about Riven coming out and I meant to finish it so I could play Riven. Cool idea. Then I heard Riven was a billion times more complicated and longer.

I remember playing Myst 4, and I'm sitting back, letting the introduction go on, because it's a good six or seven minutes of Atrus talking about his books and you staring at his wife's chest. So I'm kicking back with a sandwich and a cup of coffee, and then he comes back in the room and says that he wants me to go set his sons free from the books from the first game.
I actually spit coffee across the room and shouted, "YOU FUCKING WHAT?"
I was so exasperated, I walked out of the room for ten or fifteen minutes. Before continuing, I made sure to give Atrus the fucking finger. I hate that fucking guy.
I really liked the one world that was a bunch of floating crystals cut by a cloud line, below which was a planet of magma. It was one of Atrus' son's prisons; as you progress through it, you get to read his journals where he hopes to escape by making his way down the apparent mountain peak to the ground below, only to make it through the clouds and realize how hopeless things are for him. It's pretty great.

I read one of them and then a little bit of the one where everybody from D'ni turns out to be really racist southern plantation owners who keep slaves in their walls to make everything run perfectly

You'd think Lucas Arts would jump at the chance to make point-and-click adventures using the Wii-mote.
Or at least just port all their old games over. I'd actually buy most of these again for the Wii if they were going for like $15 each.
Who isn't? I'll be stunned if anyone buys that game not wanting Fate of Atlantis.
Also, one of the most deranged first person adventures ever:
I have the Sega Saturn version, but I guess that one's good too.
(The Dreamcast sequel doesn't exist.)
You can actually die in it, which isn't very common.
I think that's also true in Full Throttle?
you never played anything released by Sierra I assume?
Well, as first-person Mysty/point'n'click games go.
Were Sierra involved in Flashback and Out of this World? If so, yes.

oh god why did I spend so much of my childhood playing this game
did you guys ever play Amerzone?
the same guy would go on to develop Syberia and Syberia II, which were also awesome
apparently he did one later called Paradise but I've never played it
There's a game I wish I'd played when it first came out.
instead of a babysitter I had Police Quest, King's Quest, and Space Quest.
I should see if my old discs still work.
That could take a while.
Fortunately, I did.
Probably wasted it by going outside and playing with other children.
You know what adventure games were the bees knees, though? The series with Hand of Fate. I played the shit out of that game.

Dick.
How is it going? I am fine thank you for asking.
hey satan...: thinkgeek amazon My post |
I never beat Riven, either, so I'm just hoping for the best here.

But man none of them where shit to me compared to Skull Monkeys. And Skull Monkeys was shit compared to Goblins
I think that makes you normal
because Myst could be challenging but compared to Riven it was nothing
Oh yeah, that was in the fourth game
I want to say it was called... Spire
really cool world design throughout that game
Ive considered watching a walkthrough of Riven and then trying Myst III-V
I liked IV but something seemed a little... off
Didn't play V
THATS NOT EVEN A PUZZLE ITS JUST THERE
fuck you Riven
that was the weird one of the three
the first two were some pretty intense shit though
practically a southern drawl
