I miss Mr. Bill' Adventureland and all the games from The Adventure Company and DreamCatcher also. I miss the games that had great graphics and Characters... no stick figures or cartoonish looking games or games that look like they were designed in "Ding Dong School" !! Sorry for the harshness, I just miss the "old days". cry


It's not the years honey, it's the mileage!

I don't remember who made the game but The Longest Journey was amazing.


It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

Hi Space Quest -- The Longest Journey came from Norwegian studio Funcom !! It was one of my all time favorites. They just don't make the like that anymore ! cry

Another thing I miss was something I first came across in Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within. I really enjoyed how you played as Gabriel one chapter and Grace as the next. The developers at Sierra were so inventive.

Ok, since I've been called to the table for not participating in the thread, here is my biggest thing I miss:

I really miss the camaraderie of the hints and discussion forums with fellow gamers when we all waited for the release day and immediately jumped it to play. Everyone helped each other and it was like a giant party. It was such fun!

Yes Ana, this all stopped when people started posting playthroughs on YouTube. And so did the written walkthroughs. I miss them both!

Yes .. I will only consult YouTube for a tiny bit of help if I’m absolutely desperate .. because once there it is SO easy to get lured into looking at way too much 😯

I was around for those days, and I agree that it was great fun! Expensive, but fun. grin
