I have not played that in a million years. I forgot how seriously good the graphics were!

Apparently it's been remastered, and is now "VR Supported". Makes me wish I had a VR headset. 😐

Path of the Shell, when you had to stand still for ten minutes to answer a riddle. That was genius.

I received Riven in the mail from my uncle, through Amazon. It was 1997 so I said, “WTF is Amazon???” This was back when the Amazon logo was like river with trees or something. My uncle had his book on there so he was really pushing it.

A bit tired of all the violence in games, I want more narrative, more thinking these days.

Last week I started Grim Fandango, the first Point & Click game I tried in adulthood. It is wonderful.

Will have to try Myst one day.

Myst hasn't aged particularly well, but it's worth experiencing as an artifact of gaming's past.

Riven remains amazing.

I am still fascinated that this was such an immersive gaming experience with out animation! Kind of a graphical version of Zork.

When I hike with my best friend and we come to e.g. a dried up watermill we are: okay, who of us going back now three miles to move the iron wheel we saw on our way here?

Were there different version burned for the (pen?)ultimate puzzle?

If memory serves you were left with a number of possible answers and had to run through each one?

This has exploded a bit. Why not help a horror author out and buy a copy of my debut collection HUNTING BY THE RIVER? blackshuckbooks.co.uk/hunting-by-the-river/

"Challenging play" like it presents the player with a stimulating challenge, or more like "difficult to enjoy"?

they had to move mountains to jam that game onto a cdrom. the video in particular was a huge issue. drove adoption of the cdrom as a format enormously tho.

I don't think Robyn and Rand realised how humorous their pronunciation of D'ni would be to Australian audiences...

Ohhhhhh. Brad Dourif is the bad guy in Riven. Bloody loved that game. Cried when I finished it.
Also: Brad’s daughter is Fiona Dourif. Dr Cassie McKay in The Pitt.

No Gehn, you're not really creating the Ages; you're just making connections to pre-existing possibilities! The D'ni aren't gods! D:
