Sometime ago there was a thread on this subject and I was wracking my brain for the name of one particular game. It's finally come to me and I just had to share. How about "Druuna Morbis Gravis"? Turkey of all time or what?

Gobble Gobble !! Yup, I hear that was a stinker, I'll never know cuz it never ran on my PC, so I traded it!

Did anybody ever catch this review of the Survivor PC game?

I have the Scroll in my sticky mitt.. haven't dared to try play it yet!!

Tig

That was funny Jim.

Gad, that was the funniest review I have EVER read. Definitely much more entertaining than the game and a lot less painful..

Wooee! It can't possibly, really, actually be THAT bad.

Can it?

Yes....shudder it can. The only reasons it hasn't made my worst game ever list; is I couldn't get very far in the game and I think my mind protected itself by blocking off the memories.

But this review brought all that supressed trauma to the surface. Painful - but a good thing. It really had to be faced. Now - yes now, I can move on.

Survivor doesn't sound like an adventure game and neither does Druuna. So is this thread about worst PC game or worst PC adventure game?

I liked the way they interspersed those drop down menu boxes in the review. I haven't seen that before.

Hi Tigger,
I also have The Scroll but haven't tried installing it yet. A while back a bunch of us were going to get it so we could all play it together and commiserate. So we were waiting until everyone had gotten it who had ordered it. I never heard anything about it after that.

so Jenny, IF (obviously a Big if) it will install on xp.. are you still game for the challenge?? I believe at least one other has it.. now was that Syd or Gatorlaw?????

I will have to set up a new folder in outlook using scroll as a keyword.....

Tig

So what is wrong with The Scroll? Saw it available somewhere, ordered it but it was sold out. So fortunately or unfortunately I never got it. But if its that bad I must have it. I need a new title to add to my worst games list. It would look so good next to Druuna.

Johnboy, Don't say that.. we will all be trying to sell you it at an inflated price .... as it is soo rare!!!!

Mind you its rarity may have something to do with the fact that most gamers sent the cd's towards the bin in disgust.....

Tig

Now I am definitely on a mission. Have to have it. Wont sleep until I find it. Help me! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/cry.gif" />

Spookiness itself..

I posted above and my pc froze... the game j/c fell off the table and split in two!!

There are 18 different movement icons and I think this puts most players off..

Tig (going to try it though!!!)

Way to go Tigger!

Hi

I played The Scroll all through about two years ago - and survived !!

I found the inventory system and the very fuzzy graphics to be the most tormenting issues

Having said that, I didn't find it anyway near as frustrating as Sacred Mirror of Kofun - which I'd have given up on long before I did, if Syd hadn't been helping me every five minutes

Unfortunately, I no longer have The Scroll or I'd have passed it on to you johnboy298

Cheers.

Jenny: I got the impression from the description on the box that Survivor was an adventure/sim hybrid. That's why I mentioned it.

It made me look at the game.. and the cover was upside down to the reverse...

Fixed now of course.

Another name for The Scroll is Daughter of Serpents.

It's a DOS game and the manual says it needs 590 KB of conventional memory. I'm not sure if it will run in XP. So you may be off the hook, Tigger.

Syd is the recognized Boomer expert on The Scroll. She has some very strong opinions of the game--just ask her and cover your ears...

I thought that Syd was supposed to finish the Scroll as a dare.

I loved the review with the drop down menu for the word of your choice. We must think of this Jenny100 when we write another review. LOL

You guys do not know what bad is in PC games until you play a game called Deep Raider.

It was set out to be an aquatic Laura Croft and was made by Cyberscape Graphics. She was supposedly a telephat to dolphins and did heroic sea rescues. The trouble was tha she swam thorugh rocks and in cicles and never got anywhere, neither did the game and no one ever heard of it. I have a copy if anyone is interested. Ha ha

I was going to list Bureau 13 as worst game, until I realized you might have to have played it through for it to qualify....
Has anyone else tried this game? I tried it in around 1993, and it's stuck with me since then. (shudder).

OH MAN!!! Gotta get one!

Hi

I had a go at Bureau 13 some years ago.
Unlike The Scroll however I couldn't get through to the end of it......Just too buggy for words

Cheers.
