) The two principal people in the game have horrible chemistry together on top of that-they simply aren't even believable together. (There is a thread in this forum with links for it.) I keep P1 around as a collector's item, but each time I fire it up I cringe at the horribly overdone melodrama. ) I bought the game when it initially shipped, so long ago my memories have cobwebs on top of cobwebs, and I recall being severely disappointed by the graphics of the game *then.* You can apply a couple of patches to remove the scanlines from the animation clips (DOS version), but that only marginally improves things-still, I'd advise you do that.
Great fun.ĭoes it pick up and redeem itself with plot/puzzles/atmosphere/all of the above or is it all pain, no gain afffair? The graphics were really *never* boundary pushing, at all. Phantasmagoria makes sure to give player time to behold the compressed pixelated mess of our heroine looking into a mirror or washing her hands for what can be 15 seconds. Or it would be if not the game's selling point - FMV sequences. Its reputation often seems to stem more from the boundary-pushing graphics and "mature" content rather than any actual game-related merits, so I'll ask out right - does it get much better? The premise is the most basic haunted house story you can get, but it is somewhat fun to explore all of its nooks and crannies.
I'm at the early Chapter 2 of Phantasmagoria and the gameplay is mostly a terrible bore. Iakampa: I'm a 20-year old with no nostalgia goggles, but lots of love for both retro gaming and quality point'n'clicks.
