Surprisingly, The Experiment made it to the New York Times's Best Video Games list.

Tops in 2008: Better Designs for Battling Doomsday

Yes, the game is quite original. No argument there! Thanks mission.

Thanks mission. I had never heard of this game before.

Space Quest Fan -- there's a GameBoomers review of the game here.

Thanks Mission for the post.



Becky, I fully agree with this review. While unique, the game is very frustrating and time consuming. Not a "fun" game.

I think Charles Herold gave The Experiment too much credit for being "original" and "unique." "Original and unique" is no good if it makes the game more tedious to play.

Looking at ***Pagoda's list for 2008***, my vote would go to The Lost Crown or possibly Outcry. But there are several games on that list that are more fun to play than The Experiment, including some free ones.

Overclocked for me !
