    Wow, what an amazingly interesting and extensive historical review on adventure games. This and other content on your channel is A++ in quality! I lived my childhood in the 80s and youth in the 90s around these games so I really much enjoyed this video. For me the point & click adventure game genre is still number #1 even nowadays only very few of them can achieve commercial success. Yet I still celebrate the community of retro gamers among whom these games continue to relive. Kudos to you all for this! 💪😀👍

    There's been no fall. Adventure games still sell pretty well. It's just that the whole gaming market expanded way beyond what it used to be and now some games sell way more. Anyway, there's plenty of excellent point and click adventure games that came out in the last decade. Thimbleweed Park, The Witness, Kathy Rain, Syberia: The World Before, Gemini Rue, The Cat Lady, A Golden Wake, The Wardrobe, The Cat Lady, Unavowed, and all the stuff from Quantic Dream, like Detroid Become Human, just to mention a few off the top of my mind. Not to mention the various remasters. Recently they released an enhanced version of Another Code on Switch that implements a bunch of new Features. Oh, and what about the Shadowgate remake? Plenty thereof.

  • @mytruepower2
    @mytruepower2 9 місяців тому

    Very nicely-explained. I'd heard that sales for Mask of Eternity were somewhere in the 750k range, which would put it in the same overall range as its predecessors, and (setting aside how much it departed from the rest of the series, and what the fan reaction to that was,) I wonder if the problem there wasn't mainly to do with budgeting issues and being a little too ambitious too early. Yes; 3D graphics were new and "cool" back then, but as Daedelic demonstrated, they're not strictly necessary to make successful adventure games, even in the modern age. It doesn't seem like the actual number of adventure game fans has decreased since those times either, since modern adventure games sell about as many copies as the old ones did. It's just that it's a smaller market, by comparison to other genres, and therefore one where maintaining a modest budget is important for making a profit. At least, that's what I've been thinking about recently on this subject. If so, that would make adventure games better for independent developers anyway, just because they can be produced less expensively and are more likely to be noticed by graphic adventure fans when they are produced.

    Really nice memories and nostalgia with Shivers 1. one of the best games I used to play. So far, I consider it is the best old PC games and I am a fan of it. I have a question; how come there hasn't been a remake of this game? The story, the game's directing quality, and also the soundtrack are really excellent. I am very happy that there are people who love this game and talk about it. I believe the remake version will have big impact with new unreal engine with the same soundtracks but with high 4K output with adding few stories too.

    • @TholinGamer
      @TholinGamer Рік тому

      Great game indeed.the reason we have seen no modern remakes is the same with all sierra games.sierra's rights after the selling of the company,then the bankrupcy,etc ended up under Activision (later Activision Blizzard).Activision had no interest whatsoever in revisiting its adventure games portfolio.Now they have been acquired by Microsoft.We may see some new developments regarding sierra's IP...hopefully!
