[quote=Mikael]I’ve been wondering along the same lines as you, rtrooney. I like to add one more reason:
4. The retro/nostalgic feeling. [quote/]
I was thinking of that because it is one reason to "occasionally" justify using retro graphics. The use of retro graphics is justified if the purpose is to emulate the style of another game. The developers of Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchman's Mine intentionally emulated the graphic style (as well as several other styles) of Freddy Pharkus Frontier Pharmasist. I beleive friend Josh Mandel was brought in as a dialog consultant. I can understand why becuase he and Al Lowe were the creators of FPFP.
However, there is a reason why games as varied as Gabriel Knight, Broken Sword and Syberia, among many, many others, update their graphic style when they are "Remastered". I'd hazard a guess it was out of a desire to find a new audience. Not to pay homage to an earlier style.

Now I am wanting to replay the first game and then play parts two and three. My memory just isn't that great anymore and part one should feel like a new game. And I just re-read 8dognight's comments on the second part of the game and found them to be quite entertaining and informative. Different strokes, I guess.

I watched this one for awhile and always wanted to give it a try. I completely forgot all about it. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention with a nice review

I'd be interested to hear if you write and get a response as I never did (years ago now).

Happy Friday all. I believe today is the first day in three weeks that we have temps above freezing. It is very gloomy looking out there though.
The usual Friday stuff is on my agenda - grocery list and doing nothing.
Have a great day b everyone! Edit. Back to no Internet and using phone.

We finally got to "Shetland" in our que of tv series to watch. An excellent crime drama set on the remote Shetland Islands off Scotland’s coast.

I used that option early on, Fogfighter. But overall I find it much easier to download games through Galaxy - and then close out Galaxy and play the games without the client. It is a pretty smooth process. It is good to have choices, though.

It took about 10 days for me to get a reply to my inquiry but it was only to tell me that they didn't forget me. It was not an actual reply. My inquiry was not about a problem I'm having so I don't care (it was about some sale pricing). Just updating.

From what I understand, it is useful on a tablet which doesn't have a keyboard. It's been around since Windows 8 was introduced.

Ob, I can remember games similar to this being released years ago that were quite popular, and I suspect these are also fun. I haven't tried any of them yet, though.
