Gaming Forums across the internet have been bogged down by monstrous amounts of negativity lately. Always fighting about sexism in games, which console is better, which publisher is most evil, and other gray topics we try our damn bast to make black and white. But I want to bring a topic that is both innocent and a little sad. What games do you love that other gamers either don't know of or don't remember. I want to dive into the depths of my memory and deliver onto to you my fellow Escapists games that I love and want to share with you.
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine: For those that complain about aliens in the last movie, I'm sorry to say that Infernal Machine had aliens in it way before it was cool. An action adventure game about Indy going on a globe trotting adventure to collect the parts of an ancient machine that opens a gate to another plain of reality where a world destroying entity waits. Despite terrible controls and a very bad N64 port, it wonderful level design and so bad that it's good voice acting this game stands as one of my most enduring childhood memories. It impossible to find pretty much anywhere so the best method is to try and get an emulator of the PC version if you can find it.
Myst III: Exile: Most people know of the first two Myst games at least, but no one ever seems to remember the third one. Excellent Puzzle design, beautiful art design, great story, and the music, oh sweet Jesus the music. Once again hard to find, best place to look is PC emulators.
The Journeymen Project 3: This is the game I remember most fondly then all my other childhood games. A man must travel through time to collect three pieces of an alien legacy to save the future with the help of a funny AI named Arthur. Wonderful locations like Atlantis presented with a level of historical accuracy that must science fiction would envy, a look at the ancient astronaut theory before it became an overused trope, and absolutely wonderful writing. If you haven't played this game it is at GOG.com for only 5 dollars.
Those are a few games I love and yet no one seems to ever talk about or remember. What games do you love and no one seems to remember my fellow Escapists.
