Please at least mention 'ROT13' in the comment so we don't get a lot of replies saying 'what is that gibberish?'ĥ. I appreciate if you use ROT13 for explicit spoilers for the current game and upcoming games.

It makes it impossible to tell who's who in a thread. I will delete comments containing profanity on a case-by-case basis.ģ. I don't want my blog flagged by too many filters. Please avoid profanity and vulgar language.

(For instance, that GOG is selling the particular game I'm playing is relevant that Steam is having a sale this week on other games is not.) This also includes user names that link to advertising.Ģ. Do not link to any commercial entities, including Kickstarter campaigns, unless they're directly relevant to the material in the associated blog posting. I welcome all comments about the material in this blog, and I generally do not censor them. For example, in a game that should have been called 'Knyaz' (Russian ruler of the principalities): Legends of Forest Land (Countrie)' was the 'Legend of the North: Konung', 'Allods (planes)' became the 'Rage of Mages' and 'Cursed Lands' became 'Evil Islands: Curse of the Lost Soul' (which by the way has a sequel which is not in the list - 'Cursed Lands: lost in the astral' ('Evil Islands: Lost in Astral'). But and when you see what happens on the contrary, as it sigh with relief. This is often the cause of various disputes, confusion and laughter. We quite often meet incorrect translations from English into Russian. Then, of course, was amused by the translations of the names.

A series of Alien Shooter is a Top-down shooters. For example: Brigade E5: New Jagged Union, 7.62 and 7.62: Perezaryadka (this is one series) pretty far from the genre of RPG, it is rather a tactic game like Jagged Alliance. If Waxworks wasn't a licensed title, they sure were inviting legal action.īy the way, I was a little surprised by the list of Russian games in your list. There's a tall, hollow-cheeked butler in the first film that resembles the one in the game. The second film includes an exhibit with Jack the Ripper. The exhibits include one sent in ancient Egypt (where the hero must rescue his girlfriend from a sarcophagus), the Marquis de Sade (not appearing here but mentioned in the manual), and a zombie horde. The first film involves a wax museum owner, played by David Warner, who has collected artifacts from the '18 most evil people who ever lived.' He invites people to the wax museum to get sucked into the exhibits and thus lose their souls to the various evil individuals, thus granting power to the museum owner. But I'm more intrigued by the hypothesis, raised in the comments section of my first entry, that the game began as a licensed tie-in to the 1988 film Waxwork and its 1992 sequel, Waxwork II: Lost in Time. I see what he means: Elvira II also had several discrete 'scenarios,' culminating in a ritual that required you to do several things in a precise order. The game is notable for its gruesome death scenes, of which there are several dozen.ĭeimar felt that the plot followed Elvira II too closely ('if you were to change the twin brother to Elvira, the plot would be basically the same'). The driving game element here is inventory-based puzzle solving.

Combat difficulty is extremely erratic and really only applies to two scenarios anyway. The character gains experience and max hit points as he explores and fights, but he loses it all between scenarios. While the graphics have been improved from Elvira and Elvira II, the RPG elements have been lessened. The game uses the same engine that HorrorSoft built for three previous titles, including the two Elvira games (19). In each scenario, he inhabits the body of a 'good' twin who must stop his evil brother the culmination of his efforts will end a witch's ancient curse on the protagonist's family. The protagonist enters his late uncle's wax museum and must travel through time via four exhibits: an ancient Egyptian pyramid, a zombie-infested graveyard in 15th-century Wallachia, 19th-century London on the night of Jack the Ripper's latest murder, and a 20th-century mine taken over by a malevolent plant. Waxworks is a first-person adventure game with some RPG elements.
