  12. The last great FMV game | Black Dahlia

    Everyone's heard of Ripper (the Christopher Walken FMV game), but not many people talk about the game that came AFTER Ripper. It's just as mental as Ripper, even moreso, but also so much better in practically every way. Watch the full 4 hour mo...

  14. It's time to rethink the term "computer game"

    Why are we so scared to say that games can be more than games? Is it fair to call walking simulators and other narrative-driven experiences "games"? And why do developers feel the need to shove "gameplay" into their products where it doesn't reall...

  15. The Space Quest Collection boxes... including THE ULTIMATE Collection

  16. Why my video got a content strike on YouTube

  17. I got screwed by Rednex... so we decompiled their game

  18. Gedagedigedagedao - the adventure game | In-Bred with Rednex

    Why would a Swedish Eurodance outfit pretending to be American rednecks put out a point-and-click adventure game in the mid 90s? Where did it come from? Where did it go? No one truly knows, but it is a stupendously awkward and hilarious glimpse in...

  19. We've got Star Wars at home | Universe

    Universe is the second point-and-click adventure game by Core Design, who would later achieve super-stardom with the Tomb Raider series. It is an extraordinarily good-looking game that desperately wants to be Star Wars and fails at it in just abou...

  20. The Absolutely Bizarre 🍆 Moves of Space Quest III

    Space Quest III is surprisingly easy-going on the player. In fact, the only two really cruel moments we've been able to find in the game are so ludicrously improbable, I'll bet you anything you've never seen them before this video. (Offer not guar...

    Back in 2020, before the whole King's Quest thing took off for me, I really wanted to play "Universe," a long-forgotten sci-fi adventure game by Core Design... but I figured I'd better start with its spiritual predecessor, "Curse of Enchantia." Ju...

    Remember the days when games came in lovely big cardboard boxes? I sure do. Here's a tour of the Space Quest big boxes (games 2-6), along with all the inserts, manuals, and fun stuff. Where's Space Quest I, you may ask? Why, in a separate video...

  28. Police Quest IV: Open Season - A Fair & Balanced Retrospective

    The most infamous and unpopular entry in the Police Quest series is up on the chopping block. Ostensibly "designed" by former LAPD police chief Daryl F. Gates (but not really), this game is notorious all the wrong reasons. === FURTHER READING =...

    I guess adventure game developers never learn, but I'm not complaining. Today I'll be looking at 4 more games that I didn't ask for. War of the Wormholes: Janitor Duty: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3565940/War_of_the_Wormholes_Janitor_Dut...
