Even if you didn't like the FMV in GK2, and there's no doubt that GK3 was a betrayal of the series, the original game was one of the best adventure games ever compiled.

Also: Allegiance, dammit. Nobody knows about it, but it was true love, baby, true love. The multiplayer marriage of RTS and space sim (with pretty graphics and fairly well balanced factions) was one of the greatest ideas ever, and it's a goddamned crime that nobody else has picked it up. It's what I dream the Star Wars space expansion will be, but know it won't.


What good is an online game that nobody plays?

Also, wasn't GK2 that one with the ludicrous cat hair mustache puzzle that OMM made fun of? With puzzles like that how can FMV be the worst aspect?


An online game that nobody plays is no good, of course. But it was. Oh yes, it was. I haven't loved a beta so much before, or since. And, if Cracker Barrel is right, it looks like people still play it. Which makes me pissed off that I don't have the client anymore, but I'll see if I can find it for d/l somewhere.

And the mustache bit was in GK3. GK1 and GK2 actually had pretty decent puzzles, although GK2 was too heavily into "research early on for puzzle solving later" for my tastes. It was kind of like what Phantasmagoria could have been, had it not sucked so very badly.
