Wow, I've only played SQ1 and the SQ6 demo (where hilarious borg parodies invade to turn everyone into... ORANGE SORBE!). That sounds annoying.
Meanwhile, I've been playing some various adventure games. I've been playing Syberia, which is a very fun game that has a pretty engaging story, and certainly isn't like Myst at all (standard item collection as opposed to hint collecting, though that plays a part too).
I think after this I'm going to play Police Quest. I never did finish that game... The main problem is I only have the floppy disk for it, well had, I'm not sure if it's anywhere to be found by now. Anyway, I got it used and without the "Police Handbook" that apparently came with it. So, every now and then I get these important things that involve "obeying the policeman's handbook to a T". Kinda hard to do without that thing... It's fortunate that in the case of arresting some drunk idiot, I had the advantage of common sense. I knew to handcuff the arms behind him, NOT in front, and to make sure my gun was not on me when escorting him about so that he couldn't possibly steal it. The only problem is, from what I remember, I'm totally stuck over at the cells trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do next to get him imprisoned and me out of there without something going horribly wrong.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
