Definitely a genre I miss
People still make ''homebrews'' and indie stuff, like the 5 Days a Stranger/7 Day a Skeptic series. They're OK but I prefer the more visually stimulating things. And I used to love the NES takes on this genre, Uninvited/Deja Vu/Shadowgate/Maniac Mansion/etc. There was even an OK King's Quest translation.

Was that you? Greeeeeat site, I think I downloaded like every game there, which was very time consuming... and then I found a torrent elsewhere with like every DOS game ever. That's life on the internets.

It's brilliant. The little directory with music is worth it all.
I was seriously touched when i heard the theme from monkey island again.

i noticed they reproduced Sam n Max adventure, but this time in 3d. You can pay for them here wooh
but i suggest waiting for 6 episodes before buying, cause you'll save some money.

I havn't played any such games in forever (command and conquer.. if that even qualifies as 90s etc) since I'm too dumb to get old dos stuff to play on modern computers. I oughta just buy an old computer... though that would mean a whole extra room-take-up-inating-ing computere aoijgt eoaig joad gadeoiakskdesk

hmm... all that googling for it and downloading it , man just too much work. Not to mention installing it.. ugh I'd probably have to read something too, I hatr reading. It probably won't install correctly anyway. My laptop is a fag. No, I think I'll just write 15 messages on xltronic instead of investigating that, and I'll do the same thing tomorrow.

the only good pc game in the 90's i remember was myst Even though I never beat it, and it was actually on a macintosh
Only this kid named Erik Bear from my class could do it But his dad was a science fiction writer and he was smart
I played it again lately and it wasn't as great as I remember.

you haven't mentioned "Planescape: Torment", which is fantastic.
in the 'new century' "Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth" was pretty great. it has quite a lot of faults gameplay-wise, but the story and atmosphere are teriffic.

I agree Cthulhu was/is great. A lot of problems with it, but it's a credit to how original it is and how good the story/atmosphere are, that you are prepared to put up with the flaws. Very underrated game.

The Longest Journey was a great adventure game. Not sure when that came out... ~2000ish. The sequal Dreamfall is pretty good too.

Did anyone play the Shad of the beast series? Those games were brilliant. I was very young when i played them, and Shadow of the beast 2 scared the shit out of me.
Also, what the fuck was the name of that game, where you played a man that was transformed into a monkey of sorts, and had to save your girl and become human again?
