The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Infocom (1984) Web Browser
For a long time I considered the BBC TV series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Douglas Adams’ book* to be the funniest thing ever written. Sure the show is dated and has that classic BBC look of…

The Secret of Monkey Island. LucasArts (1990) PC
I’ll cover the Special Edition of Secret of Monkey Island, AND the Original in this review as they are the same game; except the remake has better graphics, better music, better sound FX, and better voice acting. On top of…

Blade Runner. Westwood Studios (1997) PC
Cards on the table, I love this game. It has taken me about 10 years to get it working again and in that time my enthusiasm never dipped. I can take or leave the film, but the game. Yes please.

UFO: Aftermath. Altar Games (2003) PC
UFO: Aftermath started off “The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge” by Mythos Games, but was eventually abandoned. It is an homage to X-Com, and is partly based on the abandoned X-Com: Genesis. It is *NOT* officially related to UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com:…
