    That would depend upon by what criteria you judge a game to be good, now wouldn't it.

  • @Melnorme A shame really. It means that a game doesn't need to be good. It just needs to provide exploration for the player. After all, games are played mostly for escapism, not for intellectual expansion.

  • Myst was to the Sierra games what Elder Scrolls is to Bioware RPGs.

    They both prove that the gaming audience will always be willing to sacrifice a degree of character interaction in exchange for a sense of wonder and exploration.

  • If you ever visited an adventure game forum in the late 90s you would know the most asked question every day was "When is Space Quest VII coming out?"

  • I used to play Return to Zork. In my opinion it was better than Myst.

  • Great stuff, thanks!

  • LOL, Al Lowe has shit-talked the competition a little (regarding ~13:17-15:00)

  • Doing great work, shame I'm not in any financial shape to help with donations.

  • I just love these interviews!

  • AAARRRGHHH!!!! NERDRAGE!!!!!! (you got me good with that one!)

    Mr. Mandel is a great guest, being very friendly, entertaining, and very generous with his insights.

    Awesome job again, Matt!
