I have read several reviews stating THIS game is pretty 'scary'.
ok,
now explain to me, *HOW* a game is scary? I can see cringing on 'gore' &
getting grossed out etc. but uh its a game after all. right?  yes I know how

Okay, let's all jump in the waayy-back machine, and help out a moron
like myself, can we?
I'm almost to the end of the game, and cannot get the wedding music to
start.  The hall outside the vizier's room is guarded, as is the main

NON-REVIEW: The Black Mirror
(Non-review copyright 2004, Andrew Plotkin <erkyrath@eblong.com>)
This week in Zarf's Culture Corner, since the game I'm reviewing is crap, I
thought I'd try something different. You see, whenever I play an adventure

I'm near the end of Broken Sword II and am outside the pyramid trying to
create a diversion for the guards.  I resorted to a walkthrough that
said to talk to the guards and then take the torch.  The problem is that
I can't take the torch.  Nico keeps saying she can't think of any ...

Recently started playing Sanitarium, which I got from HOTU. I've got to
Chapter 4 and come across an irritating problem. The text goes by far too
fast to read. I don't know if this is because of the version (a cd-rip with
no music and most of the voice-acting gone) or if it was a ...

I have never played a Myst game. Mostly beacuse I've thought I'd find
such solitary games boring. NPC interaction (or if not the interaction,
the gereral existance of the NPCs) is generally one of the best things
about the games I've liked. Myst-bashing was also a popular thing ...

I played MYST a looooong time ago.  My girlfriend and I just finished Riven.
What I'd like to find is a synopsis of what happened in MYST so the two of
us would be up to speed as we move on through these games.  I'd also like to
see a synopsis of Riven, just to make sure we noted ...

Hey Everyone,
I have both CSI games and have attempted playing both.  I've tried both
installs (minimum and full) and when I attempt to launch the games, I get
"CSI has caused and error in Kernel32.dll and will now close".  I have to

i recently became interested in the MI series when i got a copy a of
CoMI for free with another game. i loaded it up, not expecting much,
and found out it was pretty funny. now i am wondering if it would be
better to start from the beginning with SoMI. any opinions on this?

I have three different  version of Myst, the old one,  the "Masterpiece
Edition", and the  "The Real Myst", that is supposed to be the best, but
I cannot play it because it makes me sick looking at it. It seems to go
too fast for my eyes and my stomach. Is any way to solve this ...

In the midst of decluttering I found this game--the color, approximately
square cover, the diskette, and an insert listing "other fine products by
On-line systems."  I know this was the precursor for Leisure Suit Larry
and was sold for only a short time.

Through an accident in an online transaction i have acquired a copy of
Outcast.  What happened was that i had purchased the Fallout 1 & 2
dual package and the seller accidentally sent Outcast.  He gladly sent
the Fallouts and said to just keep Outcast.  Huh -a free game is a

I have read that you can run your 'games' on a tv. right?
ok, I DO have an ATI card running my monitor now so it does have the correct
'outs' ( I think) to run to a tv (I think).(lol)
ok, first what do I need to run from video card TO the tv,,,
