Press X to Not Die
Introduction
Press X to Not Die is a quirky full motion video game filled with lots of humor and plenty of death. The game is a nice throwback to older games of this nature. Stuck in a world where everyone seems to have gone mad, you have to find away to not die through button mashing on your keyboard or controller. The game is a fun experience that can definitely raise your adrenaline, don’t blink or relax because you never know when you’ll have to press X!
Story
The game starts off like any normal day, that is until your friend rushes over stating that everyone is attacking each other and you have to press X to not die. From that point on you’re thrust into a world where your survival depends on your reaction time. But don’t worry, you’ll be dying a lot and actually this is the best part. All of the deaths are absurd as is the game itself. You have to rescue your girlfriend, find answers and get out of town in one piece all of this action packed fun is also helped with ridiculous dialogue which is funny and also meta. Don’t worry about the fourth wall, it’s been destroyed.

Internet Court
I have to admit I found Internet Court really funny. It does have a lot of silly moments that make you go what but I loved it from beginning to end. You can beat this within 2 hours but it is really fun to get through. I love the acting being silly but worth it to make a good comedy. The Judge always makes me laugh at every turn. I love the silly ending that connects all 4 cases and my favourite case was the first one. I may not be a fan of the music in the game but love the credits song at the end.

Great writing, including fun dialogue when you make bad decisions (intentionally or otherwise). Clear video and audio with acting by Gamecola staff emeritus.
The judge once said, “I’m going to let you try again, but first I’m going to give you a strike!” giving me my third strike and ejecting me from the courtroom. I might have gotten carried away exploring dialogue options.

Roundabout
Roundabout is a cheesy low-budget FMV game starring a limousine driver, a mechanic, a lady in a hat, and a $40 skeleton bought off of Amazon.com with surprising entertainment value.
In Roundabout, you control a constantly rotating limousine. You play as Georgio Manos, the world’s first revolving limousine driver. Your limousine is constantly rotating at all times, which forms the core of the game’s gameplay – you know how to get from point A to point B, but your constant revolution makes your life a lot more difficult. Early on it is fairly simple, navigating your way around stationary obstacles, but as the game progresses, things get increasingly more difficult, with moving obstacles, barrels which cause you to bounce in the opposite direction after striking them, platforming (done while spinning all the while), and the odd unique gameplay challenge to make things harder.

Most of us have been gaming a super long time by now, and anyone who’s been around can tell that ideas are slowly running dry. Innovation is something more or less absent from the game industry as we see the market pump out bland shooters, uninspired retro platformers, Diablo-likes, or roguelike-likes sticking with elements they know sell while struggling to find ideas that haven’t been exhausted already. Every great once and awhile a game comes a long and changes everything capturing the hearts of players everywhere by simply presenting us with a mechanic so strange and simple yet is an absolute blast to play. A game that makes the player stop and ask “Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?”

Dracula VS The Ninja On The Moon
Dodgy bootleg VHS style interactive FMV were you try to fix the tracking on your VCR to see what happens next in this outrageously silly movie about vampires and ninjas on the moon!
– Real player with 4.0 hrs in game
The introduction feels like you’ll be there to see your first born live and die it takes so long. Most importantly though, the game’s main mechanic, the “tracking” is outright broken. Pressing either side does nothing no matter how many times you press, and when a new scene comes it’ll be clear suddenly for no apparent reason.

Jerma & Otto: The Curse of the Late Streamer
Before this game, my only real Jerma exposure was the dollhouse stream… so I’m writing this review from the POV of somebody that just wants a fun game. And I gotta say - I really feel like Curse of the Late Streamer delivers.
The puzzles are never overly challenging, and I say this as someone who generally sucks at point-and-clicks. Everything feels fair. And here’s my advice if you get stuck on a puzzle: just go do something else. There’s plenty to explore and work towards.
It is really really cool how much original art is in this game, too. Characters that are (presumably, again I am a newcomer) all drawn from Jerma lore? 3D environments that both evoke old-school game memories and feel like a real (virtual) space that this guy could live in? The dog is adorable?? Seriously, such an impressive amount of effort.

Toonstruck
“Тунстрак” - классический представитель почившего ныне жанра point&click, популярность которого пришлась на девяностые годы. От прочих представителей жанра данную игру отличает наличие оцифрованного актера, которым мы управляем и которому мы помогаем решать головоломки и продвигаться по сюжету. И актер не какой бы там, а сам Кристофер Ллойд, который подарил нам ярких и запоминающихся героев фантастических фильмов - судья Дум (“Кто подставил кролика Роджера”), Эмметт Браун (трилогия “Назад в будущее”), Фестер Аддамс (дилогия “Семейка Аддамс”). Ллойд играет художника-аниматора, который волею судьбы оказался в придуманном им мире, в окружении нарисованных им же персонажей. Над королевством Кьютопия нависла опасность в лице графа Нефариуса и местный король просит нас помочь в борьбе с негодяем, чем мы и будем заниматься на протяжении десятка часов. Игра очень простая и выполнена в рисованной 2D-стилистике, мы перемещаемся от одного экрана к другому, беседуем с персонажами, собираем хлам в инвентарь и ищем, куда это барахло применить, получаем новые вещи, попадаем в новые локации и т.д. Все это действо сопровождается отменным юмором, будто смотришь очередной мультфильм Луни Тьюнс. К сожалению, слабая рекламная компания и зарождающаяся в те времена мода на 3D, сыграли с игрой злую шутку, ее не спасло даже наличие на озвучке, помимо Ллойда, Дэна Кастелланеты и Тима Карри. Очень жаль, ведь в финале был жирнейший намек на продолжение.

Toonstruck | Arcade Theory
Close your eyes and imagine a world where animated characters interact with live action individuals. If you’re thinking about the classic film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you’re on the right track. Picture the movie’s antagonist, the sinister Judge Doom. Now imagine him surrounded by a bulldog that sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger, a robot that sounds like Christopher Walken, an effeminate scarecrow, and dominatrix cows. If you’re confused, don’t be. This is just a fraction of Virgin Entertainment’s point-and-click animated adventure known as Toonstruck. Released in 1996, this game combines live action characters in animated environments to create a unique experience that could be seen to some as visually overwhelming, but challenging and fun to play for everyone.

General Horse and the Package of Doom
Someone reviewed this earlier and said it was a re-imagining of The Oregon Trail, and as I sit here attempting to write my own review I keep coming back to that comment. Is this game as timeless as that? honestly, probably not. But I can tell you what this game is. A fun, amusing, comical ride through another universe, with a cast of eclectic and weird characters all looking to stop our eponymous hero, or in some cases aid him, in completing his task.
Don’t come into this game with any expectations, and just allow yourself to enjoy this absurd, silly adventure. It might not look like much on the outside, but if you pass this game over, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Friends of mine agree that this game is a hilarious journey of skill, resource management, and wacky encounters. And it never fails to generate a laugh.

It’s a really dumb, poorly written game with amateur but earnest acting.
It’s fun.
It absolutely doesn’t take itself seriously and revels in how silly and awkward it is. It has all of the charm you’d expect from a game made by bunch of buddies who were just messing around and having fun. It doesn’t get more silly and more FMV than this. I’d also say the entertainment value isn’t just the humor alone which can be hit or miss, but the fresh and wild nature of it all, the sheer commitment to the absurd ideas that are being presented. There is also this admirable confidence about it, like the game doesn’t care if you’re entertained by what you’re seeing or not. The skip button is always there, you can decide for yourself if you want to keep watching a scene, the game just keeps doing its thing.

Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon
When Under a Killing Moon debuted in 1994 it was a marvel, the first story-based adventure game to incorporate both 3D first person movement and FMV (Full Motion Video). When it showed up on Steam at a bargain price I decided to replay it and see how it held up against the recent spate of indie-made story games that I’ve been playing. The verdict - it’s still pretty amazing.
Sure, the graphics are pixellated and the controls are a little…odd. But the production values are stellar - great sound, acting, writing, and game design. The mouse-based movement control took a little getting used to, but actually worked much better than the fidgety controls in recent games like Edith Finch and Stories Untold, which just about drove me mad.

Trawling through the relics of adventure gaming’s past can often be more frustrating than fun, but I’m happy I gave Tex Murphy a chance! Under a Killing Moon tells a great tale set in a near-future, post-apocalyptic world, done up in the most advanced tech 1994 could muster. Even if – unlike myself – they don’t see beauty in jerky live-action videos so low res they contain weird rainbow blotches, everybody who enjoys adventures will find something to love in the silly-serious narrative, and especially in the character of Tex Murphy: a down-on-his-luck, fedora-wearing PI torn straight from the pages of a Raymond Chandler novel. Some of the actors are pretty good, some are so bad they’re good, and some of them are just straight-up bad – tough, yet affable, yet goofy ol' Tex, though, is consistently played to perfection (perhaps that’s because he’s portrayed by Chris Jones, who is also the series' head designer). It’s easy to see why this character picked up such a cult following!

Vegas Tales
The owner of the fabulous Bellflower Casino Hotel in Las Vegas is terminally ill. Having devoted his life to running his hotel, he never made time for family or friends. With no obvious heir, he’s hired you to help him choose the right person to inherit the Bellflower. He narrowed his list of candidates down to a small group of people who have strong personal connections to the hotel, but whom he knows little else about. They’ve agreed to be interviewed by you under the pretense that you’re writing a book about the Bellflower Hotel. None of them know what’s truly at stake. It’s up to you to get to know these people and determine which of them is most worthy of inheriting the Bellflower. This will be no easy task, as the group contains some unique and memorable characters who will make your decision quite difficult. Be careful though, as there may be more to some than meets the eye.
