[NES] Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom (1988)

Pros:
- Nice, colorful and pleasantly awkward
- A simple adventure with light dungeon crawling and RPG elements
- Finger wars!
Cons:
- Got to double-check and double-talk your way along the game
- Sometimes dialogues repeat even if key events already occurred

[PC] Yeti (2011)

How:
Came up on Adventuregamers.com and other indie websites, receiving enthusiastic reviews.

Pros:
- Short and fun
Cons:
- Too short, ends abruptly

[PC] Don't take it personally, babe, it just ain't your story (2011)

How:
Having enjoyed Digital: A Love Story quite a bit, I've been watching Christine Love's personal webpage waiting for some new game to come out, and it eventually did.

Pros:
- Long-lived, enticing, well-written
- Beautiful characters and backgrounds
- Nice, fitting music
- Love the messaging system
- Characters change their clothes!
- Ingame choices are important to how things evolve (my impression at least), and are not randomly posed
Cons:
- Music doesn't loop properly
- Event drawings (like the kiss scene) clash with the beautiful art
- Christine Love doesn't answer my messages

[PC] Sinking Island (2007)

How:
Enjoyed Syberia and Syberia 2 by B.Sokal, heard in many places about this and actually only heard negative things. Eventually a friend bought it and I borrowed it.

Pros:
- Great graphics for the most part
- Nice (even though not superb) music
- Pleasant PDA mechanics
- Good plot
Cons:
- Difficulty relies on pixel hunting and speaking everytime with everyone about everything
- Frequent graphic glitches
- Awful dubbing (played the Italian version)
- Unskippable dialogues and random events (eating, phone calls) are a pain in the ass
- Few, uninspired puzzles
- Gameplay is a matter of running around the tower searching for clues and characters
- Ugly animations
- Found it very difficult to relate with the main character
