"It has also been confirmed that the well-known easter egg containing the complete, original Maniac Mansion game to which Day of the Tentacle is a direct sequel..." 1. will NOT be included in the remaster? 2. WILL be included in the remaster? 3. is an incomplete sentence? 4. will be...

Why is this column so hard to find on this site? I forgot the exact name of the column (Good Old Reviews) and thought maybe it was listed somewhere in the menus. I keep hoping it'll show up in the "Weekly Content Schedule" on the bottom of the front page, but because this column only appears...

I always liked the original SS better than SS2. I replayed SS1 two years ago, and SS2 last year, and still feel the same. SS2 is a whole lot "scarier" than SS1. The sounds of those whimpering monkeys put me right on edge every blasted time! But it was hard... TOO hard I thought. In the end...

I wondered this myself a couple years ago... but technically I believe the two Buck Rogers SSI games were never part of the AD&D universe, but set in their own universe created by TSR called "Buck Rogers XXVC". Maybe Stew will have more on this, but I doubt he would cover it as part of this series.

I remember reading about Privateer when it came out, and even bought it back then... but never got around to playing it. All these many years later, I tend to completely forget the progression of the WC series. Consequently, I was a little "shocked" to see the screenshots from WC:P looking so...

delete this dupe, sorry. first post (duh).

Ha! Great game, and great review, Stew. I had to chuckle at it, though. I was hoping you would settle the age-old question... is it "Lords of the Realm" or "Lord of the Realms"? Like me, you used them both, so the answer must be "yes". :) EDIT: now nobody knows what I'm talking about...
