… that weren’t made by LucasArts! This is a video I made after reading and enjoying an article in Retro Gamer magazine issue 84 – the article detailed the best 20 adventure games that weren’t made by LucasArts and I liked the cut of its gib! So, I decided so spend a bit of time (read: a lot of time) making this video so that people can enjoy the article in a more visual manner. Known problems with the video include: My rubbish narration No footage for Game 16 and barely any screenshots available Generally quite rough around the edges But hopefully it’ll still be enjoyable to a few of you and fingers crossed it will highlight some games to you that perhaps you’ve never played, or maybe you’ve played before but wouldn’t mind another crack at it. All in all, I just want this to spark a bit of debate and a bit of nostalgia. If people like this, I’ll endeavour to make more in the future.
A short video that gives you a peek into the golden age of Computer Adventure Games from Sierra On-Line with appearances by Roberta Williams, Jane Jensen and Bill Skirvin. This video dates from around 1991-92, back when hand-drawn animation, watercolor backgrounds, motion captured video and an original musical score were the primary foundation of a game compared to today’s cookie-cutter productions. Enjoy the Memories!
