The spirited debate between lazy, ABF, and myself over the merits of 90's era PC games really got me to thinking about a lot of old PC games that I used to play back then. I wasn't some huge PC gamer, but I had quite a few adventure games and RPGs and some other random stuff from back then. Maybe it's nostalgia talking, but some of those games were pretty sweet and it was cool remembering all of them again. So, with that in mind, let's talk about some old PC games!

Normality - A scifi adventure game from Gremlin set in a 1984-esque police state that put you in control of a hippy teen named Kent Knutson. Your goal is to escape from your apartment and into the city and then to bring about the downfall of said police said with the help of a group of rebels. Rather than having pre-rendered backgrounds like most adventure games from the same period, it had a first-person perspective that allowed you to move around [the engine was used again in Realms of the Haunting, which I'll probably bring up later]. It still had the same kind of point-and-click inventory gameplay seen in other adventure titles, but the 3D was a nice twist on the old formula. Normality was a very quirky game with a very quirky sensibility, much like the Lucasarts games of the time, and I recall it being an absolute blast to play.

As of yet, I have been unable to get it to work properly with DoxBox. :(
