Abstraction Games' 8-Bit Adventure Anthology: Volume I is a collection of three Mac and NES point-and-click adventure titles developed in the mid-80s by ICOM Simulations. The collection delivers a window back to the time when games refused to explain themselves. These games don't care if you like them, don't respect your feelings, and cannot be bothered with your tears of frustration. Only the toughest of the tough need apply.
It’s always difficult to come at classic games from a completely fresh angle. If you’ve played them before you’ll probably have fond childhood memories of them. If you’ve never played them, you might still find them fun, but it’s unlikely you’ll get quite as much fulfilment from them. There’s no doubt that 8-Bit Adventure Anthology Volume 1 is a good addition to your library if you’re a fan of classic point-and-click adventures, but if you’re new to the titles, then get ready for some frustration. If you do decide, at your own risk, to pick them up I’d consider getting them on PC rather than on console to avoid controller-induced rage fits.
Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Uninvited are finally available in one comprehensive package for modern consoles. If you have no idea what those games are then don't worry, I'll fill you in on the details.
