    Clearly inspired by the Monkey island games is this British take on the point and click adventure with appropriate humor. Unfortunately the game doesn't have any English subtitles at all in the cd speech version.
    The longplay last longer than expected as I try to go through everybody's dialogue tree. I make some mistakes here and there, but hopefully not too distracting. -

    I would play this on my computer as a kid and get transported into a whole new world. I’ll never forget how this game made me feel and hearing the music makes me so emotionally nostalgic.

      feel the same way except for the first discworld game, which is basically an extensively improved version of this game with better visuals, music, characters acting and comedy. Way harder to get through though

      My first game on PC was Monkey Island 2, followed by Broken Sword and Simon the Sorcerer. Still in love with adventure games to this day. As I only know them as their German versions I am having a blast revisiting them in their original language.

    Of of the most important point to notice with this game, as well as Monkey Island and other golden age point-n-click, is the music !
    This is a main condition to make a game unforgetable, i was very young but i'll never forget these games, the atmosphere is so familiar in my memories. Never underestimate the power of good sounds and music !

      @Crash Headroom I first played STS on a Windows 98 machine with an AWE64 ISA card installed. SB16/Adlib MIDI was ghastly but the AWE wavetable synth had a certain charm about it. Although the quality isn't up to that of a hardware MT-32 it has a certain charm about it with the general midi mappings completely wrong.

    I love this game, and i like the first much better than the second and quit partway through the third. 3D was not their friend at the time. but every time i replay this game or watch it replayed I find more and more adult humour that flew over my head as a kid.

    • @paulanderson79
      @paulanderson79 6 лет назад

      I & II were both good games. I agree with you that STS1`was the better of the two. 3D was difficult to handle at best with lots of awkward arcade style sequences. Not good when the controls aren't up to arcade standard. 4 bored me completely and I've never look at later Simon games.
