I still have the CD for this game sitting in easy reach, as it's one of those games I keep coming back to. I love playing it, even for all it's weird quirks, but honestly I've never finished it. I don't know why. Every time I play it, however, I truly enjoy the experience. That alone rates 4 stars.
Ahhh Phantasmagoria. I first played this game as a teenager, and it was awesome. I remember spending many nights playing this, waking everyone up every time I yelped because I was startled over something (and it happened a LOT). As for the technical aspects, this was one of the first games I played with full motion video. It's obviously green-screened and can be slow at times with all the video transitions, but the story is one of the best I've seen in a horror game. Warning though, if you don't like gore, use the censor filter. THERE IS A LOT of it. All in all great game. Thanks GoG!
THIS is one of the two series I have been waiting for since I heard about GoG. I grew up on these games, Space Quest IV being the first game I can remember experiencing in dazzling 256 colors. LOL I recently bought the Space Quest Collection from the bargain bin at my local videogame store, but I will most definitely be buying them here. The humor and ingenuity in this series never gets old, and replaying them is a trip down memory lane. My only complaint is that the first 3 aren't included as well! (SQ 3 was probably my favorite of the series, followed by 5) Way to go GoG! Now... next week announce Quest for Glory... Please?
