Rating: Summary: best ever Review: manic mansion is the most fun game in the world. it has everything from robbing cars to freezeing hamsters. Funny game but is pretty short.
Rating: Summary: In '94, I bet you had a life. I didn't. I was playing these! Review: Nostalgia rocks. I remember sitting for hours in my cavernous high school bedroom, in front of my power-machine 486 sx, learning my vocabulary for years to come from Sam n' Max, and squandering hour after hour zoned out to LucasArts games. Day of the Tentacle(which most people do not know also contains Maniac Mansion within!), Sam & Max, Indiana Jones, Rebel Assault; all fine games and among the best ever put out by any company. Really.
Rating: Summary: Typical Lucas! No age limit/minimum required to enjoy Review: These are the best of the best. Classics from LucasArts and that says a lot. They are simple to learn, no manuals needed - but not so easy to finish and FUN. The wit and humor in these games makes them unlike any I have ever played. Like certain old movies my kids and I take themn out and replay them every so often.They are not geared to a certain age. If you're 8-80 and clever, you can enjoy these games. There is a story line and you must use your wits to move on, so theres a sense of satisfactiion when you advance. But they are not frustrating. You don't die if you make a mistake, just turned away to gather more information before you try again. You might not realize it at first, but just wandering around (which is fun by itself) gives you clues. But sooner or later, almost everything you see or do, will come in handy. - a lot like life. Keep a sense of humor and you'll love these games. They're hard to find. but worth it if you do.
Rating: Summary: dott, sam and max Review: These games are great. From my understanding, all three of them are talkies (I played Indiana and DOTT before the cd release that included voices.)Why do I like them so much? The humor that goes along with the fun adventure. These games are a lot like the monkey island series and grim fandgo albiet the graphics are much poorer. It is unfortunate that Amazon no longer carries this available archive series from lucasarts.
Rating: Summary: Lucas did co-invent the genre...and has just backstabbed it Review: Those 3 games are the cream of graphical adventure, from the golden era of the genre. If you buy this, you should be able to run it on modern OSes with tools like ScummVM. Though, on March 3rd, 2004, Lucasarts decided to cancel "Sam and Max - Freelance Police", the sequel to the extremly good and funny "Sam and Max - Hit the road". This sequel development was doing well, the game was beautiful, funny, and approved by the characters creator, Steve Purcell. If you love the genre and/or Sam&Max, please express yourself on this Petition: http://www.PetitionOnline.com/LACOSAM/ Email Lucas: pr@lucasarts.com And visit: http://www.SaveSamAndMax.com/ ..and off course, SPREAD THE WORD Best regards.
