If so which ones? I remember watching my brothers play Police Quest 2, Space Quest 3, and Robin Hood. I’ve played the later police quest games and Space Quest along with some Kings Quest games. As a kid I always wanted to play Leisure Suit Larry since Babbages always had a warning label on it.
I’ll check out Steam and download a bunch in bulk. I was looking for a list and came across a “best of” list from PC Gamer and true to form they couldn’t shut up about politics. When discussing police quest they had to go off on a tangent about Floyd and policing being “racist”.
Also may try Willy Beamish again. Bothers me that I never beat it
Lords of Magic is an underrated gem of a game. My sister and I lost countless hours exploring Urak.
My brother and I played it a tremendous amount, though my brother only ever played life or water to exploit the scepter glitch. That glitch was apparently fixed in the steam version.
I was always an Earth man myself. Dwarves are damn near impossible to actually kill and that war axe was top notch when it came to decimating entire armies.
but the move speed.... awful
Kinda funny, modern games are terrified of asymmetric gameplay.
It's the inevitable treading of an unstoppable force. It's so satisfying once it finally reaches your foe.
I agree, modern game design philosophy is so timid. Everyone has to be a winner, everything has to be perfectly balanced. You can't have anything big and splashy that wasn't intended; No emergent strategies or power plays. It's all so...sanitized. Kind of reminds me of this video where Sajam distills the principle down to "your gameplay doesn't have to be pretty enough for Instagram, sometimes it's ok to post it on World Star."
