The Journeyman Project Slowmo!
I've finished this game after playing The Journeyman Project Turbo!, 2 and 3 first. I had never played them before but knew of them when they were originally released. I was pleasantly surprised by Turbo! It's a bit of a historical curio, but a fun, quirky relic that's a large part multimedia PC showcase. The game itself is a little thin on the ground, but short and sweet. It's a little rough around the edges, but still holds together well. This remake was an attempt to make a more accomplished version of the original, but it doesn't succeed in doing this. There's more animation, some more puzzles and extra sections. None of these add anything to the experience, however. The movement is very slow, the extra puzzles don't add much depth and the game was better without the extra sections. Of particular annoyance are the "action" bits, where you occasionally steer left or right, sometimes with little information on where you should go. They're not particularly hard, but they don't work and detract from the experience. "Action" sections that are in both versions are superior in the older one (the Mars ship fight and the nuclear silo section). That's saying something since they're rudimentary enough in the original! The new interface is somehow worse than the original. In that, you could use the mouse, with keyboard controls for some functions. In Pegasus Prime, you must use the keyboard for some things, with odd keys to bring up things like the inventory and biochip screen. The inventory is limited and the game will remove items you may want once you run out of space. This new version is missing several great tunes from the original, like the time travel and Mars ship launch ones. There's more of a blandness to this make-over and it has lost some of the personality and quirkiness that made the original so endearing. Not that it was a masterpiece, it's just better, faster and with better gameplay. Why take out what worked and replace it with more of what doesn't?
