I'd forgotten about Mystery of the Druids.

Or is the phrase "blocked it from my memory?"

Oh shoot - I have another one - Gothos - first cousin to A Fork in the Tale, Night Trap and Urban Runner - this game is just so unbelievably bad, words fail me

And Kathy how can you not love Kofun???? I mean, geeez woman

Whoa Kofun. What's not to love?

Why do I have this sudden urge to play "Of light and Darkness" and "The City of Lost Children"? I have been wanting to check those two games out for quite a while and now that they are not recommended I want to play them. I dont get it. <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

If you want to play the games that most people hated, on this thread, don't worry, it just means that you have BAAGS - level 7.

From the Our Archives - Hall of Fame section, here is Syd's post on BAAGS. Enjoy.

BAAGS

Level 7? Oh My! According to Syd I need to be locked up in a mental institution. Will they let me play "Of Light and Darkness" and "The City of Lost Children"? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />

I know I'll get lynched for this one, but for me
" Faust seven games of the soul" buggiest damned
game Ive ever played, I spent more time trying to get it to work than play, made it thru chapter 5,
and just couldnt take it anymore, I was so frustrated with it I just wanted to take the discs and just keep smashing them with a hammer,
of course I didnt, I think I traded it off.

Worse games I've played would be:

Timeline--arcade action and only one puzzle. Didn't finish it. The book was way better.

Welcome to the Future?--not much of an ending, nothing really challenging--just find pieces and put where they belong.

Quest for Karma--decent puzzles but left out the story--just didn't hang together.

Games that I would not recommend are ...

1. Comer - huh?
2. The Watchmaker - voice acting
3. Jazz and Faust - voice acting

There are others that I didn't like but that was because of technical problems rather than issues with the game.

At one point a bunch of us were going to get The Scroll and play it together so we could commiserate. Only nobody could get up the guts to start playing.

Hmmm..I guess I hit upon a winner with this thread. I am glad you are all enjoying it. I sure am enjoying reading it!
Rusty

I got 3/4 through the Watchmaker and the game quit working I deleted and reinstalled six times. I was sent a replacement disk, and that did not work. I do not know what to do.

Hi Teetsel,
I think you'd have more luck with this if you posted it in our "Glitches, Bugs, and Patches" forum.
Rusty

I would say "Undying" horrifying game, always killing zombies, scare the willies out of me

And

The Watchmaker, never finished it, kind of boring.


Liz.

Myst and any of the sequels (gave up on both Myst and Exile, never tried Riven) or those like them ROTS, etc. Don't like games that are practically stictly puzzles and no plot or character interaction. Loved the Phantasmagorias, Mystery of the Druids and Hitchcock all are in my top 10

Happy gaming,
Lewton

I have to say Mystery of the Druids. I played it halfway through and hated it. didn't like the action. I didn't care about the main character. I traded it in to EB games. Normally when I don't like a game or get tired of it, I will play it to the end using a WT to get the torture over with but with MOTD, I didn't even want to rush finishing it with a WT.

You know, I forgot about Riven. Hated that one too and didn't finish it. I traded it in at EB games. The puzzles were so ridiculously hard to me that I didn't finish that one either.

Glad to get that out of my system.

everyone,
I have to agree about Chateau D'Or and I will add Amerzone to that. I will probably get some heat for the second one but I thought both were boring.
Kay

Have to second "Fork in the Tale". When they said parallel universe, I didn't realize they meant the developers. Totally bizarre!

Hi Kay,
I have to agree on Amerizone. I started it and maybe got halfway through. I keep saying I will go back to it but it didn't really grab me. Other games keeping getting my attention.

Wow, I just discovered this thread today (was not on much over the holiday weekend), and already 5 pages! Hot topic, I guess!

Anyhow, I 2nd the vote for "Chateau D'Or". A game that could have been, but wasn't!

Louis

This was a good thread. I Really enjoyed it. It seems a lot of us are on the same page.

You mean the prom date that went on to become a star on Broadway? (Who'd have thought that thousands of people would pay to catch a glimpse of her?)

My vote -- Lighthouse. If you can repair your own car, you should take Lighthouse for a spin. If you can't, don't.

Oh Wow, Becky! I would never have thought "Lighthouse" would show up in this thread! It is one of my Favorites, right up there with "Shivers" and "Tex" Of course, I even played "KQ8" all the way through, twice...while hating to hear "`Tis beyond my reach" :-) Glynn

Becky: It still stuns me that The Crystal Key has been AC/DC's #1 seller. I can only assume that Syberia will soon surpass it. Syberia may not have been my favorite game, but it is light-years better than CK.
