I'd like to add In Memorium to my list. The concept was interesting but when I got into it it was just plain blah!!!!

Tigger, I'm not sure what the Trick or Treat movie was about, but I don't think the game is based on any movie license. The game is about a guy who just got a job at a retirement home, and they are planning a big Halloween party. Things are not what they seem to be though at the home. The ironic thing is the game was fairly vanilla until the first cutscene when a lot was revealed that made you want to continue...then crash. That sucks.

lakerz, in the same spirit as banging one's head against the wall because it feels so good when you quit, I think I'll load up Trick or Treat, if the problem cutscene is not too far into the game. Is it?

johnboy for agreeing with me on
Forever Worlds.I was feeling so alone <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" /> You're a pal! Luv,Joanie

Good luck, nickie. lakerz sent me a saved game and I tried to get past the crash on 3 different systems/OS to no avail.

I'd adding my voice to the Chateau D'Or group. It was very short, and I absolutely HATED having to "study" in order to pass a quiz and progress in the game.
And I am eternally grateful for ANY adventure game in which I CANNOT die, and thoroughly enjoyed Dark Fall!

Thanks Scout! I doubt very much that I'll have different results, but I was just curious, and the game has been sitting here on the shelf forever.

There are 3 other games Id like to add to my dislike list. Conspiracies and Harvest, And A Quiet Weekend in Capri.

The only reason that one doesn't get more votes is that so few people have played it.

Regarding "....Weekend in Capri"..... JA ought to be shot for giving it such a high rating.. Very misleading and disappointing.. The game is far too flawed to get an A+ rating...

I really do not know what game Quandary reviewed, but it could not have been AQWIC... "Think Myst but in a real location"...? Umm, no......

AQWIC and FW are the first 2 adventure games I would actually consider selling... (I am a real horder when it comes to adventure games).....

A true baager won't even sell their bad games. I probably have every game that belongs in the Hall of Shame.

I'd feel guilty about taking money for Forever Worlds.

Well, I suppose you could make a coaster with it, or a "sun catcher"... Or perhaps use it for leveler for a table with a short leg....

I've been using it as a tester for dodgy old CD drives, which I suspect might "eat" the CD.

<img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " /> Now there's a new use......

I have a feeling that one day ~ hopefully far distant ~ I am just going to have to have a copy of Forever Worlds to find out if its really as bad as people say...

Last time we mentioned least favorite games I nominated "Labyrinth of Time" (nothing but an endless series of mazes connected by puzzles) and "Mystery of the Nautilus" because of all the timed stuff, strange clues, sudden deaths and especially the game-stopping robot.

Those are still my least favorite games but on reflection even those aren't total turkeys. I did enjoy them at times. Graphics were nice, music was pleasant, there were some puzzles I got a kick out of solving etc

Only one I've played this last year that I might add is "Bad Mojo." They really werent kidding, were they? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> But it was fun at first to find yourself playing an insect

In fact, I enjoyed every game mentioned on this thread (that I've played) to varying degrees. Of course, there are quite a few mentioned that I havent played. Chateau D'or definitely just moved down a few notches on my to-play pile

Its a rare game that brings nobody any joy. I thought that honor was reserved for Dun duh da! The Scroll (Is Forever Worlds really a contender for the Dungeon of Shame?)

I found "Midnight Nowhere", "Saalambo, "Conspiracies" and "A Quiet Weekend in Capri" to be a big bore.

I loved TLJ and those like it.

Really great seeing the diversity of opinions on this thread. For instance I'm currently playing Midnight Nowhere and Conspiracies and find both to have totally engrossing draw you in storylines. I also really liked TLJ and it's in my top 10 never get rid of pile for numerous replays, although from what I'm seeing Midnight Nowhere might fall in that category also (unfortunately someone tipped off the end to me and it's something I've always wanted to do/be in a game). Knowing what's really going on and playing the game from that perspective is wild!! Still would have preferred to not have been tipped off and then replayed knowing what was really going on. I totally agree with Forever (Forgotten) Worlds sharing the honor with The Scroll (couldn't even get that one to install) as one of the biggest turkeys of all time and a definite candidate for The Dungeon of Shame. As I stated before reading the diversity of opinions is one of the things I find most interesting on this site as well as the great people on it.

Happy Gaming all,
Bill

Lakerz, the Trick or Treat movie was about a deceased Rock star coming back to life when his record is played backwards.. spooky stuff!!

Hi Susan. To you, and others who were surprised by my voting Dark Fall a 'Turkey' and a 'Chicken' ---

I LOVED the game. Did I forget to mention that?

I'll buy every game that Jonathan Boakes creates.

THAT'S why I voted for it. It was too good a game, IMO, to have those photos in it; and too delightfully CREEPY a game, IMO, to leave me standing in front of the Dark Fall's rainbow-colored puzzle that I repeatedly messed up... ALIVE.

I agree with you. I hesitate to buy Missing worrying about closing webpages. Sometimes I spend 5 ~ 6 years on playing a game. I dislike being pressed with lack of time. What if some part of the game vanish while I am playing it?

Oh, I know. The criminal would not wait for so long without any acting.

Can anybody spell WARD! as in "The Ward"?

And I second (or third?) the vote for Chateau D'or!

Louis

I did ask the question re Missing's websites to the guy from TAC on a previous thread and he said the websites would be there forever....

I've avoided Chateau D'Or and The Scroll thanks to the 8,000 step DeBaaging program. It was inpatient care but I escaped & bought both The Quivering & the worst of the worst....Of Light and Darkness, before I was recaptured.

Repetitive timed sequence nightmares in OLAD that gave my brain carpal tunnel syndrome, not to mention feeling like a dog. Fetch that glowing orb! Good dog, now again and again and again and....ARGH!!! Plus the game stopping bug toward the end.

That disgusting save system in Quivering...<shudders> Absolutely hated to save. First game I ever quit. Started myself a trend. Too many games, too little time. I'd rather play a screensaver.

Love, Jen

I would have to say "Chateau d'Or". I laboriously searched the net, stores, thrift shops, yard sales etc. for this one. After travelling to several cities I finally found it and it had been marked down from $35 to $20. Woohoo! After finishing it the same day I started it, I sat and stared at the monitor for quite some time, waiting for the next chapter to begin, only to realize the game was over. More time passed.... but nothing happened. Finally my family had to pull me away from the computer, my hand still clutched to my mouse, waiting for more. As I feverishly slept the next few nights, I cried out "but it's such a big building, there must be more rooms in it!".....
