Didja think I'd forget? We're only on day 2 of the give-away; it
hasn't become so commonplace as to skip my mind... yet (let's see what
happens in a week or two). I'm still raring to go!

So let's rare!

Today the Dark Forces Of Christmas Past and Present command me to
present the following game:

Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy https://store.steampowered.com/app/302190/Amerzone_The_Explorers_Legacy/


Yes, it's another old-timey game. C'mon, what do you expect from me? I
LIKE old-timey games (this one dates back to 2001), so of course I'll
have a lot of them (and a lot of duplicates) in my possession. But
old-timey doesn't mean bad, and anyway, we're still at the start of
the season. "Amerzone" is a classic first-person C66XP adventure game
(think "Myst") made by the same people who did the "Syberia" series.
Expect surreal, realistic (for the time) imagery, 4CFN4 strange
landscapes and weird logic puzzles. It's fairly typical for the genre,
and while not the best of the MC04L sort, neither the worst. If you
like this sort of game, give it a try.


And that's two games done, and many, many more to come. Hold on to yer britches, we're just getting started.

Ho-ho-ho!

After enjoying Syberia, and hankering for more of that Microids magic, I bought this on gog some years ago. But I wasn't enthused with the more primitive graphics, was frustrated with the puzzles -- having to look up solutions to an adventure game is an instant turnoff for me, for all the familiar reasons of inadequacy & what's the point of it all anyway!? -- so dropped it after an hour or two. Hopefully someone will have a bit more patience!!
