@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I suspect reading the review is more fun than the "game" experience.

In this case, it absolutely is. ๐Ÿ˜…

Although I have a soft spot these days for terrible FMV games.
Not sure why that is.
They do have a special kind of charm.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I used to love pure FMV games or games that incorporated a lot of FMV. It was one of the first styles of games truly utilizing the benefits of CD-ROM (along with CD quality soundtracks ofc).

I assume you've tried the Tex Murphy series?

@randomlygeneratedusername@sosial.link
I had to look those up, so sadly no...

Looks like they only released on micro systems and PC and since I only play on handhelds and consoles, that series flew completely underneath my radar.
