Whodunit?

One of the writers for PC Gamer, Richard Cobbett, wrote a great article on the Hugo's House of Horrors series the other week - it's great to see the second game examined like this, especially as he raises so many of the same points as we did in my post on it on videogame_tales last month... I mean in 2009. Hmm. (Indeed, he proves a suspicion that we had all along and finds that at least the house on the first screen of the first game was a colouring-in of a piece of clipart.)

The rest of his Saturday Crapshoot series is well worth reading, too - it covers interesting relics from times gone by (or just recent oddities) and has exactly the right level of grumpiness that I love and nurture.

How is it that I'm having pleasantly nostalgic thoughts and fits of agonizing rage at the same time just from thinking about those games?

They came at a good age - when we... didn't quite realize that they were actually terrible, and were just charmed and awestruck by these little wonders, enough to get through by exploration and experimentation.

But seriously, sod that bridge.

AMEN.
