I had this back when the PS1 was new for that platform. I never ended up completing it and I didn't remember a whole lot from it coming back now to play through it. This is an excellent game. The voice acting is surprising well done for a game of that year. Install the Vektor patch to clean up the graphics a bit. After installing that though my controller stopped working when launching which was remedied by launching from Steam. Some of the controls can be clunky at times but you adapt. You end up learning the weapons to use against which enemies as well to be more effective. The game isn't overly difficult either but isn't exactly easy. I would say the difficulty level is enough to make the game enjoyable but challenging. Some of the boss fights can be obnoxious but again, you adapt and power through. This game kept my attention and really pushed me to keep going. I recommend this to anybody that likes that top down action adventure style game. This is one of the better ones out there and after playing it I would almost put it in the classic category. It really holds up after all these years which is the sign of a true classic.
I picked this one up for nostalgia I suppose. I used to play MK in the arcade and ruin folks. I do remember playing this on PS1 and enjoying it. I may have had much lower standards back then though regarding CPU opponent AI. Even on very easy it does that reaction to every move you do AI. As in, it knows the button presses and the reactions to those button presses. I seem to remember combatting this by just using Robot Smoke all the time with the jump back, kick, and then teleport punch which always made the CPU AI respond with a projectile. This version is the same AI. Even on very easy it's just not fun to play the "story mode" of the game due to the AI. It actually just destroys the game which was a disfunction of this generation of fighting games. I will say though that GOG has done an excellent job of making the game accessible. Controller support worked perfectly for may. Game ran as it should. It's just too bad the single player mode is so bad in regards to AI. This is probably great if you have a room full of old buddies looking to play each other but beyond that this game is a no go.
Another World, or as I remember it, Out of this World is a platform puzzle style game. Back in the day, the graphics and presentation were really great although I remember the game Flashback showing it up, which I believe was newer but the same style game play and presentation. This is good for a play through for the older gamer crowd. If you haven't played this before and you are younger, you may not like it at all. The controls are clunky and there really isn't much going on story wise. The one thing I do miss is the music from the 3DO version. Some of the backgrounds were better on the 3DO also. Over all, this is a decent game if you have that nostalgia factor for it.
I remember playing parts of this when I was a teenager so I picked up the pack that had both games on sale. This game is a decent point and click adventure. There are some more "adult" themes in the game. From various slasher scenes to sex scenes it is all in there. The acting is so so but what would you expect from a mid nineties computer game. The story is odd but keeps you going. Over all I had a good time with it but I do like cheesy style horror movies to an extent. If you like that and want a taste of nostalgia, this will get you there. If you are a first timer, if you don't have high expectations and know what you are getting in to, then you will have a good time.
I recently played through Phantasmagoria. I remember playing the second in the series when I was a teenager so I picked the pack up when it was on sale. This is a pretty decent point and click adventure game with an alright story to accompany it. Don't expect anything fantastic about it. Some of the motions when your character is inspecting something just seem to take way to long. It gets to the point where I wanted to just click my way through a lot of the scenes. I did have a good time playing it through though and I think most people that enjoy old school point and click games will too.
