I suppose it all started with the point 'n click games that I was playing during my boredom. It progressed to visiting underdogs.org and scrolling through the old adventure games produced by Sierra. Then I downloaded Space Quest 0. Before I knew it, I was assaulted with this strange longing for my Space Quest collection. To play with, I mean. It was a good game. I loved the humour. Why are all the games these days about fighting and killing with little or no mental stimulation? And where's all the quirky fun and sarcastic narrator? I mean, that was the part I loved best about Space Quest. I think it was really a good thing the FIRST space quest I ever played was SQ4 because that was really good. The funniest of the lot, I think. Yes, I've played all the games from 1 to 6, including the SQ6 demo. It was a long time ago, but I miss games like that, even though you tear your hair out at 2 a.m. in the morning trying to figure out how to open the door with an eggshell and a glue gun. (No spoiler there, by the way)
Oh um, yeah, I neglected to mention that within the last week or so I completed Leisure suit larry 1 to 3, and 6. Just because I was on this craze. Despite the fact I was supposed to be studying. But I haven't laughed like that for a long time.
What the heck has happened to adventure games? :\ Why has the genre died out? Am I really getting that old?
