Agon?

Hi

Not Agon

Cheers.

Fire berries ..... remember that! It was a game that was FREE ........ can't remember the name .............. LOL

Wow, that sounds familiar.....but I can't make a guess yet...

Crystal Key 2? (Wild guess.)

Has to be Legend of Kyrandia I. Old, weird game. It was strangely appealing to me at that time. I developed cravings for berries while playing that game.

If you feed the main character a fireberry, it burns his mouth. If you feed him a blueberry, you hear a gulp sound, and he says 'crunchy'. There are also gems and other fruits lying around or on trees in the forest. If he gets lost in the cave maze when his fireberry burns out, he gets eaten by monsters or something. So he has to get to other fireberry locations in the cavern before his fireberries burn out.

That's the one!!!!! I think he's got it.

Hi

Yes, you guessed it, Benedict

But calling one of my most favourite old games "weird" could land you in serious trouble with the Game Police and I might just have to set Sam & Max on your trail !!!!

Cheers.

Most of our favourite games have some weird things about them that are unique and memorable. Otherwise, they would just be run of the mill. Anyway, who wouldn't like blueberries?



My clue:

There is evil in this place.
Things are not what they seem.

That could be anything! Blackstone Chronicles?

WW

Clue 2:
What they tell you, is not what it appears to be

Dracula Resurection?

Clue 3:
When you finally find out the truth...
You realise, they've had you!
You've helped the wrong people!
Stop them, and set things right!

Clue 4:
The villain in the game turns out to be the victim, and the victims turns out to be the villains.

Intriguing clues Benedict!

Um, spoiler answer

That's gotta be it, Becky. The irritating thing about that game was that even though you had plenty of clues about what was really going on - you had no meaningful alternatives :/

The drama in that game was incredible, as I remember. Some decent acting & set designs in that one. The music section was quite amusing and was worked in well. Offered some nice relief from the general tension. Remember how freaky it was when the ghost would suddenly try to warn you - with her violin playing and all that? Very well done!

Final clue:
"Have you come to seek the alchemists? Don't waste you time. I've killed them all. Hoo ha ha ha ha ha! You can do no good here."

Hmmm. Salar, it looks like we were wrong!

Hi

I'll be mightily interested to hear what this game actually is .... I thought Becky was right too !!

Cheers.

Mad

No, Becky was right! The game is

I posted the final clue because I wasn't sure if we want to keep the others guessing.

Anyway, since Becky got it, perhaps Becky could give us the riddle for the next game.

For the rest, thanks for trying.

Salar, thanks for your comments. I don't think the ghost actually tried to warn the player. In fact, I think the poor girl was murdered before she had any idea what was really happening. Thus her spirit could only beg any hero that has ventured into the temple premises to help them.

Cheers, keep playing, and keep guessing.

Hi Benedict -- I added a spoiler tag (as I did with my answer) because those who haven't played this Zork game may not want to know the ending twist. That's why I put a spoiler tag when I guessed which game it was.

Here's my clue:

Why are these young men disappearing? And why are so many of them tall?

Becky, you have accidentally let the cat out of the bag:

"those who haven't played this ____ game..."



For "Guess the Game" I suggest we could have a new type of activity. Give our boomers a quote and let them guess the adventure game characters who made the remark.

Hey Benedict - there are lots of Zork games!

I wanted to narrow it down just a trifle. Think I should remove it?

Second clue -- many of these would all appear to be magnificent physical specimens, dear Watson.
