Teenagent

This was the best adventure game of my childhood

A wholly average point and click adventure. You play as a teenager living the dream of being a secret agent to foil the plans of a nefarious thief. The story itself is thin and goofy, but it is serviceable. The presentation itself is nice, with well-realized environments and characters. You are also open to experiment to your heart's content as you cannot "die" or enter an unwinnable state. And experiment you shall, as the "moon logic" of this game is through the roof. It gets especially frustrating as a running gag in the game is that many "puzzles" are completely pointless to the character's progression. For example, if this were a cartoon, it would be *hilarious* to watch the hero's carefully laid plans fail spectacularly over, and over, until he gets frustrated and finds a workaround that makes all the effort moot. However, in a video game, it's a slap in the face. It eventually feels like a chore, trucking through the obscurity just to finish what you started. The game definitely makes its attempts at humor, though it ranges from the "not really laughing but I'll say lol anyway" to somewhat cringe-worthy. All that said, the game is *free* on GOG at time of writing. So, no harm in at least trying it, if you're craving an adventure game fix.

That this game was free, this game is terrible, bad graphics, people say the humour is brilliant, personally I want to punch the writer in the face the jokes were awful and the deliveries were forced, the music was so annoying a repetitive also, secret of monkey island which uses the same style of graphics is a far superior game, even if this is free for you also, do not waste your time with it.

Do you remember the times, when games were on floppy discs, everytime you finished your installation, some strange sounds came from your case and games were very much funnier, than now? Of course you don't. Everyone, who games up to this day nearly forgot about this. But you need to refresh your memories fi you want to enjoy a game like TeenAgent these days. The game is archaic in its very best meaning, but not for everyone. Graphics - bad. Storyline - bad. Sounds - are you kidding me? But give it a try and you will love it. Or hate it. See for yourself.

A free 90s point and click with the premise of a teen secret agent? You'd expect it to be cheap-looking, excessively easy, stupidly childish, or all three, but it's actually a pretty fun game that has detailed graphics for the time, some really tricky puzzles and a plot and dialogue that, while not hilarious, is fun and charming enough to keep you playing. It's a decent length for a free game, too. The only downside is that the puzzles walk a fine line between hard enough to make you think and insane moon logic that you'll only figure out by trying to use everything on everything. If you get really stuck somewhere, just consult a walkthrough, because the game isn't giving you some hint somewhere that you missed, it just expects you to do something random that you couldn't have predicted. Luckily, those moments are relatively rare and you can get through most of the rest of the game using your own wits and creativity. If you're a fan of the point and click adventure genre, this is a solid entry that's worth trying out.
