Dark and gruesome point-and-click PC adventure Alter Ego has been shipped to major retail stores in the UK & Ireland, Scandinavia, Benelux, Greece, Australia/New-Zealand and various other overseas territories, where its retail box will be available at the end of the week.
Alter Ego is a unique experience that wants players to explore and discover themselves by walking down a path of uncertainty.
Hardcore Gamer: It’s a surprisingly compelling game despite being over 30 years old at this point thanks to the great writing and multitude of choices. Alter Ego is now available on Steam so a new generation may discover it.
From lost adventures to forgotten puzzlers, here are the classic titles that games history has cruelly overlooked.
Oni?...Oni is not a classic, unless you want to consider it as a classic unfinished game. A cool idea at that time, but very forgettable.
Herzog Zwei is STILL better than most games that are released today, and it was released in 1989.
The Art style, music, Gameplay, how fluid and smooth it was, the game modes and maps, 2 person head to head.
OMG it was like nothing I had played at the time, and not many know of this true gem.
Another one is General Chaos.
Two Sega Genesis games that need to be remade but most people have never heard of.
What a shame.
Herzog Zwei. Hell yes! You get a bubble just for making me reminisce of that Genesis classic. I got that one as a freebee from Sega when the console launched. Oh..what a time...what a console!
I notice you have a lot of agrees, but not everyone supports your viewpoint. Oni was in my opinion an excellent game, something that user-reviews on metacritic supports me on. It was first and foremost an rewarding beat-em-up game, that also catered to fans of 3rd person shooters.
If you can point out how it was unfinished and what could have made it better in so regards, we could have more interesting conversation.
I talked to staff members that worked on the project (many, many years ago). It was not finished. It was rushed out the door (PS2 launch era). Ever notice how so many environments were so empty? User reviews and metacritic (which was 69/100?) support you? Do they know you? I'm just teasing, but seriously you can take user reviews and metacritic and toss them right out the door. It's all about how YOU like it. If you like it, then cool, you got something out of it. As for myself, I did not.
I used to play the demo non stop, that was on an OPM demo disc which had Akuji The Heartless and Syphon Filter.
Bust a Groove! The EZ mouse hasn't been forgotten!
We loved that game in high school, mainly because break dancing was getting big in certain social circles. Game was amazing.

The gameplay seems very cool walking around and figuring things out. And over 80 locations that resource to the story stated.
