Re: Retro confessions. What are yours?

The difference here is that Sam & Max (latter of which is a sociopath by the way) are unmistakably comic humor characters, you can't take anything they do or say seriously. Even the subject matter and story is absurdly surreal. I know this but Sam & Max in the original comics act more harsh than …

Well, I think that first versions of Duke Nukem were certainly not a series that is known for it’s positive portrayals of women. However, they brought the 3-D objectification of women in their games. In Duke Nukem Forever, there were a LOT of feminists complaining about that game installment, in …

Games like Leisure Larry Suit and Duke Nukem would not have a place with the modern audience, an audience that likes to complain about everything not politically correct just to be on spotlight in social media. LSL is a pretty shocking game. The crude and crass humor is what shocks people. The …

I hope you enjoy Monkey Island. Sorry to tell you this but I didn't really enjoy it. It's basically an average game. The characters were okay and the plot of saving the Governor was interesting but I really didn't like how the game relied on jokes and puzzles to move the story. The story wasn't …

K-pop albums being about the size of a book and coming with so much useless junk (I actually have a couple of K-pop albums) I know they're for collectors/fans but why cant you stick with the boring jewel cases? Also Kpop groups releasing a bunch of EPs and repackages. I dont mind EPs but repackage …

When I first played Day of the Tentacle I thought it was one of the best games ever... But when I played like the third time I started to realize how average the game is. The graphics and characters were okay but the story was pretty weak. Day of the Tentacle is basically Zak McKracken but you solve …

I'm finally playing the first Monkey Island game! BTW I'm going to complete it later. Unrelated talk here but do you know that the 1987 TMNT series had a episode that parodied Zak McKracken? (The episode name is "Zach and the Alien Invaders")

I like to think that by the end of this century steampunk will have given way to 'bluepunk'. Just blue LEDs everywhere and on everything. So retro. Hopefully we'll get a remake of The Running Man soon in which Dynamo is festooned with incredibly bright blue LEDs. How the hell else are we supposed …

1. Maniac Mansion is a much better game than its sequel, Day of the Tentacle . It's more fun to play than Day of the Tentacle but it's really hard. Agree 100%. Other than graphics and sound, it seemed like a step back to me from MM back in the day. I also much prefer the corny horror setting of MM …
