Please use this thread to suggest any Interactive Fiction game for the September’s Game of the Month discussion.
Every forum member can suggest one game per month. It is encouraged to describe the reasoning for one’s choice and to give a small description of the game, so the other forum members have enough information to base their votes upon. Please note that there’s a maximum of ten suggestions per month. As there’s no selection, the ‘first come, first served’ principle applies.
Suggestions may be posted here up to the 31 August 2006, with voting taking place in a new thread running between September 1st and 7th.
I’m going to give this some thought, and post later in the month. There are some pretty old “classics” I’d personally like to motivate myself to play, so I may end up suggesting one of those.
Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it. For September, I want to suggest something I haven’t already played. Curses. Worlds Apart. Something like that. Although, if most people have played those, we might be better off picking something obscure.
How about those games that was made with a relatively obscure IF authoring system, like say, AGT? Those usually never gets played a lot.
“Shades of Gray” might be a good start. It’s a collaboration between several authors, something that appears to be gaining some appeal with IF people these days.
Does AGT work okay on modern computers? I remember someone once commenting that modern computers run too fast for it and it needs to be slowed down in some way to allow it to run properly.
I’d go for “Worlds Apart” because what I’ve read about it sounds really interesting. I bet, though, that if I Googled it, I’d find plenty of discussion already. Should we pick something else – maybe something new – that hasn’t already had its share of discussion?
I’m going to suggest “The Ghost Train” by Paul Johnson. It was released outside of a comp in 2003. It may have gotten reviewed on IF-Reviews but I haven’t checked.
I’ll throw in a vote for Savoire Faire, and I’ll also suggest All Hope Abandon, seeing as except for The Baron it’s the most recent non-Adrift game I’ve played. (And maybe this will encourage me to actually get around to writing a review…)
(Um…I could think of lots of games that would be fun to discuss, actually. There should probably be some kind of limit or criteria to keep these nominations from getting out of hand…)
I’ve actually meant this thread to be for suggestions only, with voting taking place in a new voting thread. My impression from the Adrift forum is that a separate poll usually attracts more people.
Well, since Savoire Faire has already been suggested, I might as well use nominate something else. At least I still have a couple of days to think about it…
Good idea. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I have this compulsive urge to vote in polls, even if it’s about something I don’t even have a real opinion on.
