Super testing

Weve added another scan from that fountain of eternal wisdom, PC Zone. Today we travel back in time to May 1999, when the Zoners were discussing adventure games over beer and pizza. A quote:

"Then I played Monkey Island 3. Which was shit. Im not saying it wasnt very good Im saying it sucked. Ive never played such a dull adventure game in my whole life."


Strong words indeed! Read the whole rant here.

In other news, apparently Ron Gilbert - or Ronzo as we like to call him - has moved into Tim Schafers Double Fine office so that he can get something done. Sounds like the basis for a situation comedy, if you ask me read all about it over at Grumpy Gamer.com

Comment from MrManager

That was a horrible review, horrible! :~ I get the feeling Chris tries to be 'controversial' with his opinions. Being the 'expert' in the field that he is, he should have given some love to Dave Grossman and Tim Schafer too, but oh well.

Yeah, it's ridiculous... though it should be noted that the supertests aren't actually reviews, they're just drunken banters. The reviews they published were *generally* praising of CMI. I don't get what they said about the first two games graphics though, especially when they said the graphics in Discworld 1 and 2 were amazing. :~

And and the second part, it says that Simon3D would be the way of things to come..

Yeah, well, that's just ignorance of the future, and we all make that mistake. Simon 3D was the way of things to come in so much as 3D is the way to go for the future, which is (slowly) happening.

No, my point was that anyone involved with that article was an idiot.
