    The use of the color palette on this game is stellar. Many titles usually forget about the use of dull tones to emulate darkness, and I can see the effect masterfully done here. Also, the names on the phone directory are in fact all the backers of the game.

    loving the game so far, if you grew up with Maniac Mansion and classic LucasArts games, you're gonna love it. It's like a mix of Maniac Mansion, X-Files and Twin Peaks, all mixed through the blender that is Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick's particular brand of humor

(it's easy, i'm sure no one here knows a damn clue about French and so not any videogame website in this langage :p) ... ok ok it's just a way to put my URL here but admit it was imaginative :p

    awesome man. I watch your reviews even if I don't have the console, or have no initial interest in the game.

    The Star Trek original series point and click games are probably my favourite point and click style games.

  • @Racer-X-090
    @Racer-X-090 7 лет назад +2

    I grew up in that era of Atari 2600 and IBM 286's. I dont really get those feelings of nostalgia when I see pixel graphics, more of a feeling of "been there, done that." Nowadays, I prefer more modern graphical styles. As far as the other aspects of the game, it looks fun.

    • @joshuacarpenter7447
      @joshuacarpenter7447 5 лет назад +2

      This game would've looked incredibly weird if it had modern day graphics

  • @DrearierSpider1

    Seems like this game does everything that Tim Schafer's Broken Promises/Double Fucked Adventure was supposed to do but didn't.

  • @kosmosyche
    @kosmosyche 7 лет назад +3

    This is definitely game of the year (1993), for me. Especially the sweet "talkie" CD-version for my new 2x speed CD-ROM drive with Sound Blaster Pro! Lucas Arts has done it again... Oh, wait... lol. Joking aside, this game is very good, so full of nostalgia juice on one hand (for old timers like me), but holds its own as a great point and click adventure game with great story, characters and dialogues on par with the classics. I am 5 hours in right now and I only wish they made music with the legendary Roland MT-32 (at least as an option), because right now the studio-recorded music is the only thing that kinda a bit breaks the impression of a real Lucas Arts old-school gem. I would love Ron Gilbert to continue to make games like this for the rest of his life... but it's probably impossible. Anyway, thanks for your review!

    As someone who's name really is Ransom, I really hope this character doesn't suck. I've always been afraid of someone named Ransom/Ransome doing some horrible shit and ruining everything for the few of us who are out there. As a side note, you replaced his name with "random" at one point during the video, but don't be ashamed. That shit happens to me every goddamn day, along with questions about whether I was kidnapped as a baby.

    • @alpkar
      @alpkar 7 лет назад +2

      Dude!!! You are unique! Like a legendary rarety item. Did you ask your parents how they came up with the idea? No offense or negativity intended. Just curious.

    • @barrydingall
      @barrydingall 7 лет назад

      Alp It's an old family name. There are several variations (Rand, Randall, Ransom, Ransome, Ranson, Rance, etc). I've read that it's original meaning was something along the lines of "the shield bearer's son" and eventually it became a surname. I've heard stories that it derives from England and others that say it's roots are in Scotland or France. I have ancestors from all 3, so I'm not entirely sure which is true.

    • @barrydingall
      @barrydingall 7 лет назад +2

      Alp fun fact:
      The band REO Speedwagon was named after Ransom E. Olds, the founder of Oldsmobile.

  • @5carecrow94
    @5carecrow94 7 лет назад

    Looks very Maniac Mansion. Very interesting. I hope the P&C adventure genre starts to make a comeback. I don't mean the licensed schlock Telltale shits out, (except Wolf Among Us and Walking Dead Season 1, those were great), I mean honest to God adventure games.

  • @jonnylove797
    @jonnylove797 7 лет назад +2

    best reviewer in the game, almost wish you gave a score just cause as you know a review is only deemed important if giving a number. As shit as Metacritic is you should be on that list of important reviewers

  • @ShyGuyXXL
    @ShyGuyXXL 7 лет назад +4

    Is the easier mode in this game like the easy mode in Monkey Island 2, where it cuts out HUGE chunks of the regular mode and just hands you most of the solutions? Or does the easy mode still feel like a complete experience?
    I'm asking cuz I might play the easy mode first and the hard mode after that if the easy mode is still a complete experience.

    • @monkeydevinebb
      @monkeydevinebb 7 лет назад +1

      ShyGuyXXL I haven't played the hard mode, but easy mode definitely felt like half a game.

    TBH, these games dont interst me and look quite boring. My loss maybe.

    Thanks ACG. The only gaming channel worth watching.

      James Jiao I'm glad I waited for it to come out on the Switch as it's now on sale and I can play it anywhere. Couldn't decide if I wanted the PS4 or Xbox One as the PS4 is in my bedroom while the Xbox One is in my living room. Now, I don't have to choose.

    its a great game ive recently completed it,but is there a second game?(like chrono triggers game+).my autosave has continued counting(i completed it in 18hrs and it continues,18+in the new game i started)
    ransom the clown is taking the piss out of restrictions placed on maniac mansion,they had to change the script from shit head to tuna head.
    its a buy i agree,its great to see something other than a first person shooter on the shelves.

      They probably put a lot more work into this games story than most games coming out right now. It doesn't need to be flashy to be an amazing game. Games like Silent Hill 2 and Sanitarium will probably never be topped.
