trash games but they're my kind of trash
I grew up playing these. In terms of rose color glasses nostalgia factor, they get an astounding 6/5 in my book, and I appreciate the fact that they were rereleased for GOG, instead of relegated to the world of questionable Abandonware websites. However, they just don't hold up upon adult review. I don't know what anybody would see in these from a modern perspective. They should be noted however as having some degree of historical merit, since they were a success at the time thanks to Shareware, and it really was the work of just one person outside the world of the big adventure game studios. I must say though that I think the stories and characters are cute as hell, and I'll never forget my childhood nightmares of that horrible brown dog. WTF was his problem? They're kind of a noteable historical oddity, but I just don't know what value these hold with modern gamers. Like I said, 6/5 for childhood trauma, 2/5 as actual games in the world of 2019.
