"Tachyon Dreams Anthology", my Adventure Game Hotspot review

Read my full review on Adventure Game Hotspot!

Excerpt: "Compared to most modern graphic adventures, Tachyon Dreams Anthology might shock newcomers to the genre with its blatantly old-school graphics and user interface. But this is a game that must be judged on what it’s trying to do, and that’s where it largely succeeds. It’s a nostalgic 80s-era Sierra clone, with blocky pixel art and a text parser for commands instead of simple point and click. Objects are sometimes crudely presented visually, and a better than basic knowledge of the English language is needed, but I hope people who aren’t turned off by its limitations will give this game a go. Sci-fi usually isn’t my cup of tea, but the simplified presentation made for an enjoyable trip down memory lane. And even for those who didn’t grow up with adventures in the 1980s, not only does this game shower you with great humor, it succeeds in making you think about your own life and the path you’ve walked in the process."
