Let's talk about that opening cut scene for a moment. Why is grandma wearing an Eartha Kitt style body suit with a chain-mail halter and green gardening gloves, and toting around a pistol in her Samsonite luggage?

I'd say that's Silent Hill 3 levels of required "outside" knowledge but SH3 probably stole that from adventure games already.

Yes. The instant game publishers discovered there was money to be made selling Hint Guides and frustrating people into calling 1-900 Hint Numbers, this became the norm.

When people talk about adventure games being killed by their design this is the game they were talking about. This is an oversimplification for comedy's sake

The worst part is that this game got glowing reviews at the time of release.

I'm amazed and glad that we've finally managed to hit some comprehensible plot. It was beginning to feel like Zelazny was wasted on this medium. Though what was up with Brent Spiner's bizarre dialogue delivery. Did they have to chop the audio up into mono-syllabic chunks and then re-combine it on the playback?

Next up will be, if all goes well, Grim Fandango - Remastered. It's been on the list for a while and It's something that I'm very much looking forward too.

Still a very good game with a very fun story.
