What Game Are You Playing Now

Gelert - is this April fools?

I'm guessing not, DOTT is pretty awesome. Is this the remake or original?

Original LakerZ. Feeling nostalgic.

Decided to play Darkness Within 2 again . I rather enjoyed it the last time . Perhaps after finishing , I will play the Lost Crown games back to back .

Since DotEmu is closing down Jun 1st, I've been downloading my game library there to a hard drive. I have a number of Microid classics like Syberia series as well as Broken Sword games and Gabriel Knight games. Thinking of trying to install one again, maybe Syberia 1.

What great memories I have of those games! I learned about Syberia from a friend of Tom's who played the game and recommended it very highly. By that time Syberia 2 was also available so I bought both games and played one after the other, so to me it always seems line one big game. As for Broken Sword, I remember buying 1 and 2 as a package deal from some place in London. Had to change dollars to pounds, as I recall it. I tried to play BS3, but couldn't finish it. Same thing with Gabriel Knight, 1 and 2 were great, but couldn't get very far with GK3. Anyway, those were the good old days and make for very happy memories, but that's all ... I couldn't play them today! Just too old at 93, okay?

mindy - one is never too old to enjoy some old friends like Syberia and Broken Sword. I have not installed it yet though, been too busy with other stuff.

Agreed , a thousand times over .

Never say "never" ... I enjoy going down memory lane and remembering the fun of those days, but just thinking of actually playing them again wears me out!

I played my first ever text adventure, Thaumistry: In Charm's Way, and had a blast with it. It's user friendly, especially for a newbie like me, and it's very funny. I also played Paradigm, a 3-person adventure with a likeable main character in a strange distopian world with some zany characters, good puzzles, and lots of humor.

I'm about to start Technobabylon, which is a community playthrough over at Adventure Gamers.

I had read a bit about 'Thaumistry: In Charm's Way', and it seemed to get favorable reviews. I don't know though, never been a big fan of the text parser.

I've just been playing some of the various adventure Lite HOG games that have been sitting in my library of 'to play' games while I wait for inspiration to start a tougher challenge. I did try to load up a few older titles but ran into tech issues and just did not have the patience to figure them out.
