Phantasmagoria...

Post by joeypete »

I just started playing Phantasmagoria (I have both Phantasmagoria 1 and 2) and am kind of into it. I head about this for the longest time but never played it.

Has anyone else tried this Adventure Game (I know ppl here dig that genre it seems)?

I used to like it a lot but now I hate it with a passion! Click on something, watch an FMV
clip, rinse, repeat. Where the hell is the game?! If you want a good FMV adventure game try Gabriel Knight 2 or Under a Killing Moon. Just my opinion, though.

Gabriel Knight 2 is a very good games (With the exception of some puzzles). You most likely won't play a better FMV adventure game than this.

Burn Cycle is better in my eyes, but different strokes for different folks, I guess.

I've played Under A Killing Moon, unfortunately the game crashes for me at a certain point, leaving me unable to progress any farther.

Cyber Punk Review seemed to love it too. HIGHLY recommended to all of you Snatcher/Blade Runner PC/Neuromancer fans.

Yeah. I'm a long time GK and UACM fan, but I'd like to check out Burn Cycle.

Have you tried using DOSbox?

Looks interesting, might check it out sometime. The next adventure game i'm thinking about playing it "Tex Murphy: The Pandora Directive". I must admit though, after playing The Longest Journey many other adventure games feel so average now ;).

I'm still playing The Longest Journey. Been half a year since I got it going and I still have not finished it. I'm so fucking lazy... I just start new games and then go back and finish the ones I started playing before. LOL!

I "getting" Burn Cycle as we speak. I have it for the CD-i but the emulator is shit and won't play that one ( I have yet to find a real CD-i for sale that is in good shape). So I found the DOS version and will enjoy that, when it completes. Shit, $35 USD down the tubes for that worthless CD-i emulator...

For Tex Murphy on XP- here is a pack that runs every Tex Murphy game on XP. You still need DOSbox as your front end tho.

Ah, Sourceforge...

http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

It was complied (the pack) by a gaming site and I put it here on rapidshare for those who need it. Its a clean RAR (no bad stuff)- so enjoy!

Have fun! :cool:
