I went with the nerd Bernard and the punk rocker Razor as my picks (you have to use Dave as well, so he kind of doesn’t count for personal choice). Considering that adventure games had very little in the way of replayability back then, this is a cool design. I do applaud the idea of creating different parties for the game to alter the playthrough experience.

Other than that, I’m going in pretty fresh! All I really know of it is that (a) you can play through it with different characters and skills, (b) it was the sort-of prequel to Day of the Tentacle, and (c) it existed back in the text parser era.

So one of these big oversights is LucasArts’ 1987 classic Maniac Mansion. One of the reasons I love doing the Retro Gaming series here on Bio Break is that I get to correct some great oversights in my own past and visit games that I didn’t get to (or was unaware of) at that time. You can follow the entire series on the Retro Gaming page.) (This is part of my journey going playing through 1987’s Maniac Mansion.
