Tetris Classic is the best version of Tetris on MS-DOS!

I want to see Zak McKracken remade. Keep core story/concept, but improve the writing and gameplay. The original was so ahead of its time. Also I want to see Sam & Max: Hit the Road remade. It doesn't need the Sam & Max characters. Make it have furries and involve going around different unique …

Monkey Island 2 https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers/l/67152-monkey-island-2-lechuck-s-revenge-amiga-front-cover.jpg A classic.

Another retro confession: ICOM's MacVenture series of point-and-click adventures had better interfaces than LucasArts' early point-and-click adventures. I really hated how you had to double-click to perform an action in Maniac Mansion and Zak McKracken . Deja Vu doesn't have the bad interface …

1. I like SNES more than NES Are there people who don't? I remember being blown away by the pack-in Super Mario World, let alone later stuff like Donkey Kong Country which had some pretty incredible graphics for the time. Not to mention the great RPGs of the day like Chrono Trigger and FF6. And …

Some more retro confessions: 1. A lot of adventure games from the 1980s~early 1990s are bad. They have bad stories and are rather difficult (a lot of 80s adventures are hard). 2. Zak McKracken has a pretty good story (for the time). It never gave up its story halfway.

Zak McKracken is better than Maniac Mansion. Also a little easier. Zak McKraken was (to me) a lot more difficult than Maniac Mansion - a lot of moon logic puzzles as well as a lot of game over states without even realizing, sometimes you had to backtrack to a save that was dozens of hours of …

I'm playing Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. I'm near the end. I literally got tired from playing that game because of how hard it is. Also it's much longer than Maniac Mansion.
