Senior Editor Posts: 2261 Joined: 9 Jan 2007 | Oh, excellent! Thanks for the info. I'd looked for it and just couldn't find it -- clearly I was having a small brain day. I'll update the review accordingly. |

Though the game isn't without its glitches, the chugginess of the video is in part the result of the computer I was playing on, and in part the application I was using to record said video. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2257 Joined: 1 May 2009    | I think I remember the original. Playing it on my cousin's PS1 back when I was in primary school.. god that takes me back. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2754 Joined: 28 May 2009     | This game certainly looks interesting. I enjoy using my brains to get through a game rather than picking up the nearest gun and shooting through it. But I have a question. When the volcano goes 'Splode! what happens to the native wildlife, specifically the monkeys? If you don't get to rescue them as well I'll be deeply saddened. Which is funny because on the flip side I enjoy hearing that you can drown Jeb... |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 81 Joined: 27 Jan 2009   | I can vouch for the first one and I'm a big fan of point and click adventure games. A few recommendations would be The secret of monkey island (the re-mastered version on live or pc that let's you play the original and updated visions), Runaway, Syberia (More 1 then the overly short 2), Broken Sword 1-2 (3's ok, but loses a little charm in it's 3d iteration), Tunguska Secret files (although it has some seriously odd /tough puzzles at times, so a Walk-thorough is a must). |

The first Syberia is a must-play for adventure fans. Absolutely wonderful game, that. |
