The Price of Nostalgia
The creators of Beyond Shadowgate (BSG) have done a wonderful job re-creating the essence of the old P&C adventure games. Unfortunately, the essence wasn’t all that good. So BSG is littered with mind-numbing fetch quests and unrealistic relationships (e.g., Since when does moving a chess piece or candle holder open an option on the other side of the room? They didn’t have RF communication in days of yore.). And be sure to pay attention to every detail in every room, document and discussion. For if you miss a crucial detail, you will be walking around for a long time, re-reading every document, revisiting every conversation, and clicking on every blade of grass or drawer. That’s another common problem with old adventure game design - - pinch points. I have played PC games for nearly 40 years, and I truly enjoyed the early adventure games. But those games were all we had. Today we have a cornucopia of choices with much better music, artwork, puzzles and overall design. I have played adventure games that I didn’t want to end. But I have also played games where I grinded joylessly to “get my money’s worth”. BSG fit the latter description.
