One of two adventure games largely taking place in an odd bar that I definitely played before I could legally go to one (the other is the also-excellent-but-for-different-reasons Callahan's Crosstime Saloon). Despite the aforementioned similarities, The Space Bar is a very different kind of game. There's more of a sense of menace/danger, as you're hunting for a murderer whose face and motive are unknown to you, and the crowd they've chosen to hide in is literally so alien to you that from the jump you feel like it could be anyone in the joint. And the brilliance of the game is, to crack the case, you actually get to step into the unfamiliar boots/roots/tanks of its characters and experience their lives in ways that are equal parts empathetic and absurd. Though there is an overarching story, it also feels like an anthology about different beings navigating challenges in their pasts, which is fascinating. This game is absolutely worth playing if you like hard puzzles, mature (but not prurient) humor, and imaginative characters. Plus, a digital release on GOG would eliminate one of the most annoying things about playing the game on CD-ROM, namely the disc-swapping (which was considerable).
Long ago, in my grade-school days, I got addicted to point-and-click adventure games. Scifi channel was still scifi, not syfy, and they played a commercial now and then for a pun-titled game called "The Space Bar." A zany-humor space-based point-n-click adventure, right up my alley. I played it, and it was hard as heck, but hilarious, wonderful, creative, with tons of exploration and experimentation to be had. You had to take good notes, as with all hard point-n-clicks back then. Still, it was doable. Once in a blue moon, I revisit this classic of my childhood, though it is harder on modern systems. Sometimes I'll just rewatch a longplay on youtube. Still, it would be far better if GOG did an updated, modern-system compatible version of the game. I think the humor, the wit, the puzzles, and the world set up by this game would still land with players today. The voice acting was good, too. Just be prepared for a difficult challenge to your puzzle-solving skills.
