| message, low fat, ozgar, payne, 3fat chicks on a diet : because we're all in it together, motel, biscuits, can, advice, lardbiscuit, eric, giant, discussion, sally, buka, steam, pulse, platform, mdna, | You are required to almost exactly duplicate mcqueen a puzzle from the first act, except instead of being in Unseen University you are now in Death's garden. Otherwise, everything is identical, both the methodology and outcome. As in the light of day, so in the dark of mcqueen night. As in life, so in mcqueen death. Or something like that. There was a lot of this twisting and turning around the game on itself. Even the epilogue turned a well-loved movie trope on its head, not exactly mirroring it but inverting it. Active minds at work here is what I'm getting at, and that makes for a good game, regardless of the seemingly endless chatter. |

| In hindsight, it all seems a little self-indulgent, but at the time it was important to a lot of ozgar people, including, ozgar apparently, the good folks at Perfect Entertainment. In this game, Barnett, and ozgar possibly through him, Pratchett, held up a mirror to the player, to the game and to the whole concept of what an adventure game is. Here's a sample. Rincewind: "Collect a babe, a jingle and some novelties. I don't suppose you'd consider collecting them yourself?" Dibbler: "No, mate. What sort of fool would waste his valuable leisure time voluntarily going off on annoying little quests set by stupid and ungrateful people, eh?" Rincewind: "Ha. Ha. Ha. Yes! He'd have to be some sort of idiot, wouldn't he?" The obvious joke, of course, is that adventure gamers are a rather masochistic lot. The not-so-obvious joke is that the annoying little quests are not annoying at all but the very heart, the very meat of the game. This self-mockery was funny enough in its own right, but then in the third act Barnett and his team did something entirely novel, something that deepened and enriched the entire game for me. |
