I *am* curious though... If I set up a backlog'd account and logged in my thoughts about ATV Quad Power Racing 2 or whatever, would the people following me here be interested? Be honest!

At the start of the year, I was thinking of setting up a personal blog for my video game thoughts, but I soon enough realized that 1: I'd rather skip straight to youtube videos and 2: I prob don't have the patience or stamina to do the kind of anal-retentive writes I was picturing.

William Volk would also do research on competing titles. When Volk was working on Return to Zork, the team kept a document with every comment they could find on Compuserve about The 7th Guest.

Well I would like to post my feeling on this game, and see what you guys have to say about it.

Last night when I started to play it, I was amazed at the quality of the graphics and sound. I actually enjoyed the first puzzle.

Then after the initial "WOW" of the graphics/sound wore off, I became bored with the puzzles. They all seem pretty impossible, and not very fun at all.

So all in all, I'd say the graphics/sound are the best I have seen on a PC, but it is a shame the puzzles are so "dull".

I think Trilobyte should be very proud of their first effort. I hope they plan on producing another game with these amazing graphics/sound, but try to make it a little more fun to play and include some more original puzzles.

COMMENTS on my review?

The more I research this the more fascinating it becomes. The 1999 dub didn't have distinct ED songs for the most part and just reused the openings but for one of the episodes they put fucking. Apollon from Gradius IV over it??????????

I wonder how many people tried Black Dawn because of that one track in Sonic & The Black Knight. It gotta be a number above 0, right?

Platypus Reclayed might be the only modern video game remake to be harder than the original. Not because of technical flaws or anything, it's just, uh, meaner.

Turns out Tommy Tallarico did not composed any of the songs for Advent Rising. This is confirmed by one of the composers for the game. I have a screencap to share this.

Props go to Igor for actually confirming this and if anyone is curious who did a lot of the music it went to this composer.

@skywardfm.com Hello. I recently found your article on the PS1 Flight Force Pro controller and I have a question:

Do you recall what controller the 2nd analog mode is meant to emulate. The manual mentions "analog paddle controllers" and that's rather ambiguous.

Courrier Crisis feels like one of the most "Simple 1500 series" game that's not Japanese.

The subtitle being "The Saga of the Modern Fatalist". "Petricide" being an ingame stat. The whole presentation of it.
