I felt the same way about Dungeon Master, but I tried to get through it in Japanese. Never made it all the way through, but the game was pretty cool.

Glad you made it through Galaga. Hopefully this will cause ceti to realize that Galaga, and the forum requires his attention. WARP ME TO HALIFAX.

It gets pretty addictive... I should say that the Arcade version has some of the same tricks but the response time is way different. They used to have it at the pizza place down the road from my old house, and I always gave it a whirl, but never came up with the sames scores as on the PCE.

Clear #56 - Loom



'Tis an entertaining point-n-click adventure, well worth playing for any fan of the genre.

The Good: it's humorous, the tunes are great (even if they cut out and/or fail to loop consistently), Bobbin is a right smart-ass, the colored pencil-esque scenery is usually lovely, and the puzzles are quite nice if simple.

The Bad: it's rather short, Bobbin is one slow mo-fo, it loads entirely too often, there's no mouse support, and some of the backgrounds suffer from a low color count, looking like they forgot to tweak the art after running the PC version through an automatic converter utility.

The Ugly: seizure inducing, flickering cursor

When I was younger and the first time I beat this game I had no idea wtf just happened. So I played through it 2-3 more times and still had no clue wtf happened. It just ends.

I should play though it again, maybe it will make sense now. I always thought there would be more than one ending. I never did find out if there was.


^^^ Talking about Loom.

It ends with Bobbin transcending and joining his mom and the other weavers on a higher plane of existence.  The abrupt ending is supposedly from them planning on it being continued in two sequels, which sadly never happened.

Nice! I'm really close to the end of Loom. I'll try to finish it this weekend. :)

I was just thinking about Loom.  There's a remake of Day of the Tentacle coming next year, & it made me think how it'd rock to have Loom remade(if kept 2D), but more importantly, if it springboarded them to make the sequels!  I do wish they would've used adpcm or just pcm for the spells in this instead of redbook.  That way, it wouldn't stop the music(maybe fade it out?), but also missing tunes could be in it(I believe are the FM Towns version).  Also, there was a voice edition with full voice acting on PC, but they did redbook, & had to rewrite lines to fit all the lines on the cd.

Clear #57 - Beyond Shadowgate



As good as Loom is, Beyond Shadowgate has it beat.  For point-n-click games, you'd be hard pressed to find a better one.

The Good: colorful, detailed, hand-painted looking backgrounds of well varied locations; very nicely animated sprites of strange and sundry creatures; fantastic, atmospheric tunes and pretty good voice acting; non-linear game play with several puzzles to figure out, most with more than one solution; multiple endings for replayability; and dying has never been more fun, with dozens of humorous and unexpected ways to meet your demise (save often).

The Bad: no mouse support; though the bats are pretty awesome ("I'm a bat! I'm a bat!"), the backgrounds are mostly static; the battles are pretty tedius; and there's no real 'the end' screen.

The Ugly: NA

Clear #58 - Star Parodier



The Good: fantastically cute, colorful, and well varied set of enemies and scenery; three different ships with their own sets of armaments, making for good replay value; charming intermission screens; and a nice and jaunty soundtrack.

The Bad: it's almost too cute, making me feel sorry for beating up on some of the enemies; it hands out extra lives like candy on halloween, making a not terribly difficult shewty downright easy (at least on 'normal'); and most of the voices sound shrill and crackly.

The Ugly: NA
