[PC] Atlantis: The Lost Tales (1997)


How:

Read about it on Adventuregamers, got on GOG during a promo.

Note:
I played the "extended cut" version, which is an unofficial patch that fixes some bugs and adds back some unused music and dialogue.

Pros:
- Just the old school graphics I like
- Great atmospheric music
- Lots of cutscenes

Cons:
- Lots of bugs and glitches, even with the patch installed
- Annoying action scenes to complete via trial & error
- Unfair, obscure puzzles

At one point you dress up like a woman, and the character even makes a falsetto voice.

[PC] Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (1996)

How:
Got for free on GOG during a giveaway.

Pros:
- Great graphics and excellent animations
- Good puzzles overall
- Likable main character
- Nice and relaxed pace but still gives a sense of adventure

Cons:
- Very slow movement
- Unclear red herrings
- Some pixel hunting and unfairly obscure puzzles (e.g. you must use the bathroom keys to open a towel dispenser without even knowing the towel dispenser can be opened)
- I didn't care for the templar historical story line

A totally unexpected innuendo

[PC] Randal's Monday (2014)

How:

Got it on GOG during a winter sale.
Pros:
- Very smooth animations
- Some nice puzzles
Cons:
- Overly long and tedious, had to use a walkthrough to stop the pain
- Tries hard to be funny
- Unlikable characters
- Uninteresting plot
- Too much f*cking dialogue
- Some illogical puzzles
- Too many in-game citations to pop culture

The only fun part was to see Death in game.

[PC] Cruise for a Corpse (1991)


How:

Heard about it since Amiga times.

Pros:

- Tons of useless and misleading items
- Some annoying pixel hunting
- Illogical puzzles
- Bad storytelling
- Annoying music
- Bad English translation
