Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a hang-over to overcome. Actually I should elaborate a bit, but I won't. Story was after all Sanitarium's key element. Made you care about characters and setting. The only reason your average gamer put up with significant doses of lever-fiddling and a healthy amount of fetch-quests, was to actually find out what was happening. In short it was grounded on a well-told story. Sanitarium spoke of strange things, created empathy, raised questions, was well paced and highly intriguing in the most mysterious of ways. Yet people loved it.Ĭare to know why? It's a rather simple and not so unexpected answer. The puzzles were tedious, derivative and some of the most uninspired I had ever laid my poor gnome's eyes upon, the interface was a Diablo inspired mess, a healthy amount of disc swapping was required and a lack of overall polish was obvious. To be more precise it was an adventure game plagued with faults.

It was ( and arguably still is) an adventure game. Take Sanitarium ( mobygames entry) for example.

Interestingly even not-so-good games per se can survive on their story alone.

On the other hand, the viral zoo that my PC tended to be, seems to have simply closed it's illustrious gates, prompting me to celebrate wildly and giving me the power ( which, apparently, I've now got) to keep on with the Museum Monday series. Still, one just shouldn't expect too much from an average summer's Monday. And I have the traditional headache to prove it.

Or, could I perhaps interest you in reading my humble Space Hulk and Zombies!!! reviews? No? Care for a bit of Wraith: The Oblivion then? Admittedly, I even liked looking at the ads. I mean, I read all about games I hadn't even heard of and all about the educating potential of board games, and just couldn't help but remember how a magazine should be. As it seems, I was a tad used to company affiliated magazines like the contemporary White Dwarf and Dragon, and had completely forgotten the feel of a truly independent gaming mag.

The issue I got, the first Games Quarterly ( but definitely not the last) I ever laid my greedy gnome's hands on, was quite a surprise. A brilliant gaming mag mostly featuring board, miniature, card, family and Role Playing games, which Brian sent me all the way from picturesque ( and quite hot) Texas (!).
