I'll admit it. I'm very old school, and lack the dexterity for most skill games, and lack the courage for games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil, much as I love watching them played ("No, I refuse to enter that room. I know that the terrible sound eminating from it is a bad sign. I'll just wait here. Throw down the controller. Have a cup of tea."
I can't multitask. I'm the only person I know who actually found out the hard way that you could lose in Black and White. My idea of a good game is Discworld (no, Xane, STILL not completed it!), Broken Sword (though the last one was so bad it gave me rage), Monkey Islands, and that Indiana Jones game where you had to get to Atlantis (I think).
So, I'm stuck for a new game to play, and was wondering if you have any suggestions. I don't mind raiding the past for some game I might have missed when it was new, and I don't mind trying something different as long as it doesn't make too great demands on my limited resources of logic, hand eye co-ordination, or doesn't make me jump too much (sometimes these days when I watch jumpy horror films, I actually think they make my heart hurt a little. Perhaps it's just old age, or perhaps I should worry more about this.)
Please don't give me a game where you have to time and jump, and do this repeatedly for nineteen minutes before reaching anywhere where you can save, because these games make me vomit blood, and cry lava.
Any suggestions (other than crawl back into a Spectrum ZX where you belong, loser girl?)
