Day 4: Bad Mojo Redux



Ackkkkk!!! Bad Mojo Redux -- What a creepy game! A very different adventure gaming experience for me anyway.

So you start off as Roger Samms, like Gregor Samsa, get it? This weirdo with his bowlcut hair lives in a dingy little apartment above Eddie's Bar. He seems to have stumbled across quite a bit of money and is ready to start the good life and get out of dodge. Only before doing so, he tries to pack up his mother's strange locket, and all of a sudden he's been zapped into a cockroach. Yuck!

Your objective is to maneuver poor Roger through different hazards to get to the bottom of what happened to him. The game is in third-person, and the only controls you have are your arrow keys to move roach Roger. I don't know if you'll be using any inventory yet.

So far, I'm thoroughly squicked out by the game. But intrigued.

I hope this game doesn't turn you into a cockroach apologist!

Well, Mr. Mcgogo (if I can call you that), I can tell you that I am not now, nor will I ever be a roach apologist.

Thank you.

Murder!

Pardon my mixed-gumshoe phrases, but: The Game Is Afoot! Someone has been murdered on the train. Someone had to be murdered, this is a murder mystery, after all. But which passenger on this packed train did it? Did the murderer get away? Most likely not, seeing as how the train has been stopped by an avalanche. Will you help Poirot solve the mystery, and save your job, before the snow plows and police arrive? I would continue playing, but it's so darn hot here in Cambridge. I'm looking at the snow in the screenshots with envy!

Voodoo mysteries solved

I've finally finished Gabriel Knight 1, and I have to say it was a terrific game. The story was involving, and the ending was superb -- no let down at all. For me, the main feature that marred the game was the terrible interface. I hated having to click through the various tools (move, look, open, etc...) It got to be really tiresome at times.

Happy Ghost-Hunting

God, the end of the second day in The Lost Crown was beyond hair-raising. I screamed more than a few times during Nigel's midnight search of the old museum. The use of the ghost-hunting equipment is a terrific twist to your typical adventure game inventory-based puzzles. Not only does the use of various pieces of equipment (EMF detectors, night-vision cameras, etc.) help you to solve certain clues, it also adds to the spooky atmosphere. Knowing that you're walking through a ghost-filled cemetery in the middle of the night and your only field of view is the wavering green video screen immediately before you is chill-inducing. I have to admit, the only way I've been able to play this is alongside my husband. I'm sure I'd give myself a heart attack if I tried to play this alone at night!
