I don't remember why I was disappointed but it might have been because I was comparing it to GK2. I do remember loving Discworld and The Dig which I think came out at about the same time.


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

A couple of games that have come into my mind:

Rhem - mostly because it was just too hard for me to play without a walkthrough.

Uru - because it had jumping in it that I was unable to do but I may try the game again someday.

An older game I wouldn't call classic but which seemed to be very well liked, was just mentioned in a different thread - Scratches. I played the game twice. I guess it didn't make much of an impression because I just had to Google the ending and still don't really remember it. There are some small parts of the game I do remember but, for me, overrated!

I’m quite surprised that you didn’t enjoy “Scratches”, oldbroad ….

It certainly isn’t a Classic, in my book anyway, but I very much enjoyed it and have replayed it in both it’s versions 👍

I played both versions also, Mad. The game was okay. I didn't dislike it. I just don't think it was as great as everybody else seemed to think it was - thus - overrated.
