Anvil of Dawn: 8/10 points |
Not bad game-- too linear but definitely worth spending time on |
Colony: 5/10 points |
Whooo-ooo. Weird weird game. Aliens and you're on a ship, trying to figure out what happened. I didn't finish it. It was a bit dull and too puzzling for me. |
Elder Scrolls 3 - Morrowind: 8/10 points |
Eh.. Promising, but story seemed rather blah. Non-linearity was pretty good, though. Monsters were repetitive (and very easy by end). |
Menzoberranzan: 8/10 points |
Hey, a pretty fun dungeon crawl, in the line of the Ravenloft/Eye of Beholder series. Pretty good time. |
Mines of Titan: 6/10 points |
A graphical sci fi game from Infocom, when it was trying to branch out into non-text adventures.
All in all, basically an OK game for the time. The box I recall referred to the "seemingly endless Mines of Titan", and after you leave the outpost, the Mines really ARE nearly endless. We thought it was a bug when we played on and on and on through seemingly identical 2-D caverns. But they eventually end.
Not really worth the time (even back in '90 or so) unless you seriously needed amusement. |
Planescape: Torment: 10/10 points |
Awesome-- a fully developed and complex RPG. Not a commercial success (too much text), but an incredible rush to play. |
Wizardry 1 - Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord: 10/10 points |
Look, you have to rate a game by the technology of its time. Those giving Wizardry a low score because it's old miss the point. At the time, Wizardry, Ultima, and the Infocom games pretty much *created* the existing game industry.
An awesome game, pushing the technology. I crawled dungeons and swore at this game for a loong time. |
