Underground reviews

sciphi · 08-12-2006, 07:32 PM

I feel that this site suffers from a lack of underground reviews.So more of them please.There are so many released nowadays

We prefer to try to do a better job on some games than a quick mention of everything

We've got more on the way, but we'll gladly accept suggestions.

They need to be decent-length adventures, at least. If it takes a zillion times longer to review them than play them, then reviews are a bit excessive.

Thanks guys.I can't give much suggestions because I generally play only games which have been reviewed/are very popular.But here are some:
The New Adventures of Zak McKracken
Cubert Badbone, P.I.
Other worlds
Pleurghburg: Dark Ages
Quest for glory 4 1/2
The shivah
The oracle.
Btw,if full reviews are not possible,could you do some mini reviews listing the main points.

Jozef Purdes used to do that kind of mini-review thing on diygames and more recently on blogspot, but both of those seem dead now.

There are mini-reviews on the AGS "Game of the Month" selection: of course only one game a month there. Or try the very short reviews at http://indygamer.blogspot.com/

Cubert Badbone?!! Oh, man, I hear that game suc... wait, no, I mean, that's an awesome game, right Squinky?

Yes, our very own Squinky is the developer of that game, so reviewing that one might be a little dicey. At least one on your list is already in progress, plus one that isn't. We'll definitely keep these other titles in mind, though.

It's a fan made sequel but I didn't find a formal review. Maybe someone else knows of one.
