Written by TBD Rex Nebular’s Log: Stardate – 27th of Last Seed.7: I’ve explored the abandoned underground land of men. I have a few more items, but none of them are getting me closer to getting the vase that I’d almost forgotten about or escaping the planet. I’ve found some […]
Rex Nebular’s Log: Stardate – Later That Afternoon.3: I’ve been captured by a group of women. One of the woman keeps referring to me as scum – which is strange because usually people spend at least a few minutes with me before realising I’m scum. It seems the women want to […]
Written by TBD Rex is regretting his third wish, which seemed like such a fun idea in theory. Much like a previous game I’ve played, Leather Goddesses of Phobos, the title of this game has me forming an opinion on the type of experience I’ll be having before I even […]
Written by TBD It’s time to see how Amazon: Guardians of Eden fares in our PISSED rating. In my rating I’ll be specifically comparing it to the developer’s predecessor, Martian Memorandum.

Jason Roberts Journal Entry #2: I’ve made it to Rio Blanco – it’s taken a bit of effort – getting past one homicidal pilot and more than one deadly piranha. But for some reason I feel I need some cigarettes – and I don’t even smoke! (Boy those things must […]
Jason Robert Journal Entry 1: My brother is missing so I’ve decided to trick my workmates in order to get what I need to follow him to the jungle. I’ve already deceived Darlene Fitch and Male Guard, and tricked Female Guard by proxy. Now I need to try to deceive […]

Written by TBD If not for the title, I wouldn’t be sure if it was a jungle adventure game or a pirate game?

It’s time to rate the best King’s Quest game, based on most opinions I’ve read. Will I agree? Spoiler alert: Yes, I will. Before I start I’ll quickly mention that I attempted to play the Amiga version for comparison purposes but couldn’t get it working. I did find a comprehensive list […]
Written by TBD When we last left Alexander, he was about to crash a wedding TWICE! But before continuing the game, something has been bothering me about the events that preceded the start of the game. The people of the Land of the Green Isles have told me that the […]
Written by TBD. Now that I’ve used both methods to enter the castle, let’s see how I fared in each case. The castle’s puzzles are also different on the two potential paths, so let’s split them up and see where we end up. Let’s start with the Land of the […]
