Summer Games Challenge 2016

sounds like a walkthrough is a must:

Unlike most point-and-click adventure games, which give the player time to explore, many actions in Dark Seed must occur within precise time limits, or the game will end up in an unwinnable state. As a result of this, one must start over repeatedly to win without resorting to a walkthrough.

Yeah the game runs on a timer, so if you can complete it, you will do so under an hour or so. There's just a lot of trial and error to get there. Noise if you end up playing and enjoying Dark Seed, it has a sequel.

1. Classic/Cult-Classic
2. Was released on PC/DOS
3. Can be beaten in 6 hours or less

If you've never beaten this:

you should...

I played Oregon Trail a ton back in elementary school. Did I beat it? I can't recall. I don't think I did. I think some other kids did and I was jealous cuz they got to print out something that proved they beat it? Hmm. Either way, I actually own a physical copy - that same edition you linked a picture of, so good call.

Tell me you at least made it to the part where you got to raft down the river?!

I remember trying to cross a river and my carriage flooded and sank?

Fine noise, go for something historically relevant - Jenny of the Prairie


It is the first graphical game with a female protagonist (possibly first game ever), beating Baraduke by a year and Metroid by two.

WTF I can't even

[noiseredux]

alright this is what you guys came up with so far:

Alien Carnage
Dark Seed
King's Quest
One Must Fall 2097
Oregon Trail
Zork


Interesting choices. And I actually already own three of those. Where's Bone, AJ, Key, etc?

[prfsnl_gmr]

Where's Bone?

Tracking down a mint copy of Ys III for the Famicom Disk System.

AJ?

Finishing dinner and getting ready for bed, hopefully.

Key?

Dual-wielding in Operation Wolf.
