I loved adventure games growing up. Police Quest, Space Quest, King’s Quest, Quest for Glory, Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, Leisure Suit Larry, Simon the Sorcerer, Grim Fandango – they were all fantastic. I loved the stories, the puzzles, and the crazy humour. It’s unfortunately fairly rare for a good adventure game to be released these days. It’s a bit of a lost art in modern gaming.
I stumbled upon Machinarium today. It’s due out later this year and looks like it has the potential to be fun.
Who knows if it will be any good or not, but at least the art is amazing.
I love that art and the music also. Is it going to be a PC game? I don’t suppose they’ll be releasing it for GameCube? :)
It’s a PC game, although I’m hoping it’ll come out on Xbox Live as well.
