There's no other game like this!! I still remember my cousin's scratched CD crashing almost at the end of that one super long walk, I'm sure everyone who played the game know exactly which location I have in mind. What would I give to relive it! (without the crash of course)
The scene of opening the doors with a huge hammer has been imprinted in my memory for years, and I don't think it will ever come out.
Gameplay wise this game is nothing special, it is a standard Point'N'Click Adventure game. However, the atmosphere and the abstract sense of humor that oozes from every possible nook and cranny make this game a one of a kind experience.
I had an opportunity to replay it a few years ago, and it is even better then I remembered.
I own this game, on CD. It still works, but, in my humble opinion, we need more ways to play this absolute masterpiece, and I'd be very glad to see it conserved on GOG! I've been in love with this game ever since hearing about it as a kid, and it's amazing. It's not perfect, by any means, but it's lovingly made, and the charme is just something else. The graphics are one of a kind, a bit unnerving maybe, but just wonderful. It's desolate atmosphere is directly countered by Terry Scott Taylor's amazing work, the soundtrack is one of a kind and yes, it may be the weirdest stuff you'll ever listen to, but you know what? That only makes it way better. PLEASE, PLEASE get this game on GOG! I promise, people will love exploring the world of The Neverhood!
This game is one of a kind. Released at the tail end of the golden era of point & click adventures, it had everything--great puzzles, amazingly bizarre soundtrack, fun exploration, weird story, unique animation style, and a ton of humor & heart. I must have played the demo 100 times before saving my pennies and ordering the CD-ROM (one of the first games I bought for myself in my youth)!
Played the demo for this on my dad's computer and I remember feeling something akin to dread once you entered the exterior and the perspective shifted to first-person. The world in Neverhood felt simultaneously goofy and hostile, and it stayed with me forever. At a technical level, the sheer artistry that went into the set pieces, design, and music are more than worthy of preservation, they're worthy of celebration.
This was a game I grew up with. I first played it on my cousin's pc. He gave me his copy of The Neverhood. It was NOTHING like I ever seen before. The charm, the humor, the art style is what grabbed me.
I always followed my older brother’s lead as a child. He introduced me to click adventures and all sorts of art styles as he’s quite the creative type. He showed me The Neverhood when I was eleven in 2001. We had an old computer so we had to stick to games we could run. This game hit right when I was developing as a person and stuck with me. I listen to the soundtrack regularly and I’ve shown my kids the game and they love it so much they ask to listen to the music in the car.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the PatriotsMetal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake.
MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives.
Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them.
Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning.
Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival Drama
