City Quest

City Quest is the funniest game I've played in a long time, and perhaps in years. It boasts stellar comedic writing and, despite the game's deliberately prehistoric graphics, even some great visual gags. For true fans of comical adventure games like Leisure Suit Larry, this is a must-play. The game includes cameos by characters from classic adventure games and other pop culture media; I'm tempted to give examples, but that would spoil them. Gameplay is mostly standard point-and-click adventure fare, but for an adventure game, City Quest gives you an unusual amount of freedom. You can wander around doing things and talking to people that have nothing to do with your story arc, and it is truly YOUR story arc: in the beginning of the game, you decide on a career as either a prostitute, a gangster, a political crony, a hobo, and so on. This sets you on a certain track for the rest of the game, but you can still wander around all the areas that you would've had to explore if you'd chosen a different path.

A long time ago point and click adventure were "it" in gaming. Text based games were going out and the genre became the true hardcore games, leave behind tetris and those boring puzzles, here you could control a real character!! Eventually two schools existed, Sierra (creators of the genre with Mystery House) and Lucas Arts (the student that overcame the master), Sierra was text heavy and allowed for a more free approach till were they became famous as "those games you could die from doing anything", Lucas was more flashy and direct but accounted for it with glorious IP. Eventually Lucas raised, with founding from George Lucas and the involvement of people like Stephen Spielberg they starting experimenting more, improved graphics and simplifying the genre to appeal to a wider audience. Sierra was consider to have stayed stale and out of touch with newer generations of gamers, but it provide a template for comedy adventures that Lucas would take inspiration from and the "Quest" series would stay historically as a very important step on the evolution of gaming, they were after all the firsts and even though Lucas became more "mainstream" you could see on early Lucas works they were …

One of the funniest and most outrageous games that I have ever played. If you like nonsense and black humor, this one is for you, provided that your eyes and ears can stand the terrible graphics and sound effects.

This game was so much fun and the price is fair too! Click and point game fans won't only feel nostalgic because of the graphics: There are some guest stars too here which are going to increase this kind of feeling! I hope they really plan to make a sequeal of City Quest.
