I saw this game exactly one time when I was 13 and I never forgot it until tracking it down and playing it on an old Windows machine in 2012. Kids horror is some of my favorite horror; the best examples waver between being silly and scary and it's the perfect mix for me. On top of that, this game's got tons of cheesy green screen FMV and yes, even a brief cameo by Jeff Goldblum as a vampire. Perfect mood.
The tech's a little interesting, too, seamlessly blending FMV actors with pseudo-3D backgrounds you can scroll around inside of in real time without interrupting the FMV.
I don't think it's been re-released at all since its original run in 1996. It deserves to be seen by a wider audience.
Fantastic point and click FMV with an incredible art style and Jeff Goldblum as a vampire seducing underage girls! What more do you need?! The best Spooky-time game for me when Halloween rolls around.
I played so much of this game as a kid, and I think kids (and adults!) of the modern era can get a lot out of it too. Not just because Goosebumps is still popular (though admittedly not a juggernaut anymore) but also because it's a relatively easy and exciting point and click FMV game that's just perfect for getting people into the genre. Jeff Goldblum, Isabella Bossellini, and more star in it, and I think more people need to see this spooky little game.
A very special point and click adventure game! A direct sequel to the original book ‘Welcome to Horrorland’ and actually predating the original TV series by a year, it captures both the scary and fantastical aspects of Goosebumps without fail (probably thanks to the involvement of Steven Spielberg). While it seems like your regular bargain bin fare it’s so much more than that. Definitely a must play for all fans of Goosebumps AND point and click adventures.
This was one of the first FMV games I played back in 96 and it was a lot of fun. I remember actually getting scared at certain points. The highlight was the werewolf chase and Jeff Goldblum as Dracula. You guys should definitely bring this this one to GOG.
Had this game when I was a kid, my parents bought it for me on a trip to Staples or Wal-Mart when it first came out. I remember it was a Saturday night, I installed it, and played it until 4 or 5am. I got stuck at the Werewolf trapped in the freezer part. I found a way to play it on my PC, but I'd much rather have a legit version of it from GOG. Just thinking about the game brought back so many good memories. Man, I love it.

Alex the lion can throw fruits, use his claws and roar at his enemies. Gloria can tumble, butt bounce and hip check her enemies. And when she eats some chili peppers, she will be able to charge into her enemies. Melman can spin into, throw items at and head bash his enemies. He can also perform the Helicopter move which enables him to glide long distances. Finally the Penguin can slide, fish and attack with a Finishing move (something like a karate chop) to defeat their enemies.

HitmanBecome the Master Assassin in an intense spy-thriller story. As Agent 47, you perform contract hits on powerful, high-profile targets in exotic locations around the world. Gameplay focuses on taking out targets in huge and intricate sandbox levels with complete freedom of approach. Where to go, when to strike and who to kill – it is all up to you.
HITMAN is an expanding and evolving world of assassination. The experience began with a Prologue and Paris location in March, continued with Episode 2: Sapienza in April, Episode 3: Marrakesh in May, the Summer Bonus Episode in July, Episode 4: Bangkok in August and Episode 5: Colorado in September. The season finale in Hokkaido, Japan arrived on October 31st.
HITMAN also features a major live component, which is made up of Elusive Targets, Escalation Contracts, Community-inspired Challenge Packs and Contracts Mode.
An Elusive Target is the closest thing to the Hitman fantasy that we’ve ever created. These targets will be custom-created characters that are added to existing locations and are only there for a limited time in real-time. You’ll only have one chance to take them down. If they escape, they are gone for good. If you kill them, that’s the way that you killed them. There are no do-overs and no second chances. When an Elusive Target leaves the game world (one way or another) they never return.
Escalation Mode is something else completely new for HITMAN and was created as a way to regularly provide a fresh challenge to players. You’ll need to master the location as well as the gameplay mechanics to complete a hit that will escalate in difficulty by adding new elements. This mode has a strong focus on having fun with the game mechanics and mixing them up. It’s more about being playful than realistic.
Contracts Mode returns from Hitman Absolution; Play-to-create, mark your own targets, choose how to kill them and compete against your friends. We will also pick the best of the bunch and put them in the Featured Contracts list so you’ve got something fresh to play whenever you load up the game.Open world Action Stealth
