Drowned God Review by Fairygdmther The story behind Drowned God is nearly as interesting as the game. Richard Horne aka Harry Horse, creator of this unusual game, at age 23, created a forged, and “aged” document in 1983, purporting to be from the mid-1800’s, by his namesake, one Richard Horne, who p...

Excellent review, BJ, definitely one of your better ones. I'm currently playing Dark Fall , and enjoying it, and now I can look forward to it's successor. I'm sure Jonathan Boakes will be pleased with it as well. I like the mental picture you create for us, without giving anything away about the sto...

Xiama Review by Fairygdmther Adventure games are usually defined by the triad of story, puzzles, and exploration. By this definition, Xiama is a puzzle game, not an adventure. There is no pretense of a story or plot line. By the same token, this is a delight of a puzzle game that most adventure gam...

Blackstone Chronicles Review by Fairygdmther Family squabbles are a fact of life.

By the time a child has reached adulthood, a peaceful acceptance most often has occurred. In...

The Dig Review by Fairygdmther The Dig was released in 1995 by Lucas Arts, in conjunction with Stephen Spielberg, as a game since there wasn’t enough money in the budget to make this into a movie. The story begins as an asteroid approaches Earth on a collision course. NASA has ordered a mission to ...

I've only played Secrets Can Kill, Final Scene, and Stay Tuned for Danger, and frankly I'm not impressed with any of them. The puzzles aren't bad, but the rest seemed really hokey to me.

Very good review, Tan - I have the game but haven't yet gotten into it - I'm sure from both yours and BJ's recommendations, that I'll enjoy it.

FGM

While I can't answer for certain, since the specs call for Win 95/98, you probably can play it in compatibility mode.

Thanks, Lady K, I just posted it a few minutes ago! Good feedback already!

Faust or 7 Games of the Soul Review by Fairygdmther While growing up, most of us have heard of the seven deadly sins: pride, envy, gluttony, lust, anger, greed, and sloth . Supposedly if we avoid these, and follow the Ten Commandments, we will be allowed to enter Heaven after our deaths. What if yo...
