What I miss most about the old point and click adventure games, that is sorely lacking in modern video games is the humor.
Modern video games are so dark, and take themselves so seriously, it is just tiring.
- dugmartin 11y agoLooking at that KQ2 screencap brought back found memories of playing it on my Tandy 1000SX. I think it supported TGA (Tandy Graphics Adapter) so the graphics looked better than standard PC CGA of the time. I personally stopped playing video games when they got too realistic. I'm haven't thought much about why but off the top of my head more realistic games make me feel like I needed to take them more seriously which kind of defeats the purpose of playing a game for me.
- dade_ 11y agoLOL, point and click. More like press F3 and type LOOK UNDER THE BRIDGE Oh, they were the good old days and to your point about humour, the responses from Space Quest to text commands it didn't understand were a perfect example: "Pardon me. This program is too stupid to glean your desire from such a wonderfully crafted sentence. Please try something else." http://spacequest.wikia.com/wiki/SQ3_transcript http://spacequest.wikia.com/wiki/SQ3_transcript
- untog 11y agoAgreed. I was never a Kings Quest player but I loved Space Quest with a passion. One of those very well written experiences that I enjoyed as a kid, then when I went back years later picked up all the jokes that went right over my head...
