I need suggestions

Post by The X » Mon Jan 01, 2007 1:13 pm

I haven't reviewed anything for my website in a few weeks, mostly because of the lack of suggestions. I like reviewing old-school games, but half the time, it's hard to know exactly what to review, and I don't want to just review games that the whole world already knows about.

If anyone has any suggestions on some good old-school games I can review, I'd apperciate it. Our site link can be found on the bottom of my sig. thnx.

Yes! I didn't think anyone even heard of that game. I loved it to death.

All of these are great suggestions. I actually tried some of these for the first time today. Crash 'N the boys was really fun.

Keep the suggestions comin'.

Try a LucasArts game or two (I'm thinking Loom, here).

Also an FTL game (probably Dungeon Master, but Sundog is thoroughly awesome if you're willing to go through emulation).

The Fool's Errand would be an excellent choice, but you'd have to have someone on staff (?) who's really good at abstract puzzles. The absence of newer oldies in this category (such as 7th Guest) suggests that this really isn't the kind of game you're looking for.

What about text adventures and gold box D&D games?

Newer "classics," such as Fallout and so on?

Adventure games, like Gabriel Knight, Laura Bow...?

I get the feeling that none of these are in your target genre. Oh well, it was a thought. :D

Well, LucasArts game are some of my favorite, to tell the truth.

I AM actually leaning more towards consle games for now, but I can talk with the head webmaster of the site and see what he thinks about the idea. after all, a game is a game, right?

Lol. Yeah.

N-E-way, My review of Zombies Ate My neighbors is up now. I'm working on a Final Fantasy Review as well, but that'll take me a while because I'm still enjoying the game. :D But I can still review other stuff in between.
