I heartily agree on that point !!

When Simon II ended with a cliffhanger, which I felt was very unfair after I had payed full price for what I thought was going to be a full game, I phoned AdventureSoft to give them a piece of mind mad

I wish I could have seen their faces. wink

And considering there was then a five year wait till the "graphically unfinished, disappointingly action filled, rubbishy" Simon III appeared, I feel I was entirely JUSTIFIED !!!!

I actually enjoyed Simon 3D. It wasn't the most stable game I ever played, but I think I had less problems with it than most people. And I played it with my brother, who did the arcade thing for me. We both thought it was a hoot.

Ah, yes. In those bygone days, one could actually phone in to a studio and discuss a game with the people who made it ....

Amazing to think of it now.

Hi Jenny100 smile

I definitely should have scouted round for a "Brother" myself then !! I was almost hairless after that gaming experience lol
[I persevered and played all the timed bits right up until the graphic glitches just got so bad I couldn't carry on .... But I didn't enjoy them. So a "lose, lose" situation all told mad]

At the time of Simon II, the folks at AdventureSoft were very nice. I would get put through to a developer who would discuss the game with me and give me a tip if I was stuck. It was wonderful thumbsup

But the only responses to my complaints about the

were sardonic chuckles slapforehead

Hi looney4labs smile

I used to have nimble fingers - I was a pianist for years and years !! blush

But somehow the message from my brain to my fingers just seems to get waylaid these days slapforehead

[Must be too much of the good life, eh ?? All these lovely games luring me into the murky, depths of BAAGISTIC over indulgence .... think]

Yeah !! Bring 'em on rotfl

Cheers.

wave I'm glad to have read all of this wonderful feedback. I do love the different takes on a game. It makes the world go 'round, you know? One of the main reasons I have not purchased 'Runaway 2' or the newest 'Broken Sword' games is because I have heard the conversation trees are incessant. For me, conversation in any game is great when it enhances the gaming experiences and is necessary for the game to move forward. Then there are games that use conversation to simply lengthen a game. Not for me...


Woohoo and booyah! smile Have an easy peasy day!

Darlene, I haven't played any of the Broken Sword games (but I will).

There is a lot of conversation in Runaway 2, but I enjoyed them as they were funny. It is amazing all the different gaming preferences we have, isn't it puppy

I too just received my new Runaway 2 today! Based on everything posted here I can't wait to load it up and get playing. I need a break from Dreamfall...Vinnie has been kicking my butt for the last 4 hours...so it's on to Runaway 2.

Thanks to all who share!
