The Prophecy

The Prophecy (1992)

Genres:Adventure, Puzzle
Story:This point and click adventure takes a fantasy setting in which the player acts as a wizard called Ween, deemed to be "good", taking on a less good one. To fulfill the titular prophecy the wizard has been given a limited time of three days during which he must go on a quest, solving various puzzles along the way, to be rewarded with three grains of sand, that he must place in an hourglass what eventually will result in killing an evil wizard. Objects around the levels are always detected by the cursor, making each screen and the challenges quick to comprehend. Like the company's Gobliins Series, the interface is simplified, and the game has a heavier focus on self-sufficient puzzles than other traditional adventures. The game experiments with the toning of the graphics, using a faux-sepia style outside and some bright colours inside, which changes the atmosphere somewhat. As one of not many titles of those days, two times during the game, the player makes a choice of taking one of the paths which results in different puzzles to be solved.Show more

A great first person adventure came from the same creators at the Gobliiins series. Has a very interesting vibe and aesthetic. Also known as "Ween" in some countries.
This game is special to me. The game mesmerized me in back in the day due to the great art-direction and amazing berlin school style synth midi soundtrack. Used to love watching my dad and brother play it, before ultimately playing it myself a couple of years later. The total package sparked my imagination and I look back on it fondly.
Mobygames has nice screenshots (that I cannot link lol) Looks pretty cool : Visuals are top tier. And nice bluesy chords in the intro music... Animations are really high quality for that time.
Those games also need your vote!
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's AwakeningDevil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is a prequel to the first Devil May Cry. The game plays very differently from its predecessors, as it puts much more emphasis on style rather than simple demon slaying. As such, combat is much more intense and faster than before. An all-new Style system that allows you to select your fighting style has also been incorporated.

Neverwinter Nights
Neverwinter NightsNeverwinter Nights (NWN) is a third-person role-playing video game and is set in the fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, with the game mechanics based on the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition rules. The game engine was designed around an internet-based model for running a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG), which would allow end users to host game servers. The intent was to create a potentially infinite massively multiplayer game framework. This game was named after the original Neverwinter Nights online game; the first ever graphical massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), which operated from 1991 to 1997 on AOL.
