Id heard from several sources that it was in the works, but I gotta say that watching the official teaser trailer for the thing gives me a nice shiver up my spine.  Its been much too long.

If I was gonna rank the top 10 video games (franchises) i've ever played, in terms of depth, immersion factor, and overall affection I feel, it would go

yeah... it was hard too. around the point where the three characters were in different time periods I started losing any clue of what to do next. Good game though. Grim fandango was better.

Do you count as a PC gamer if you had a Commodore 64? (I did get to play the original uncensored Maniac Mansion...)

1. Zork

...I'd have to think for a while about the rest.

er... im not sure. I think I generally consider PC gamers to be people that have regularly done a good bit of gaming on their PCs after around Doom 1. Before then there was this whole murky hardware period filled with scary things like Amiga, etc... the realm of the traditionalists who would probably put pioneering games like Pong and Nethack on their top-10 lists. While their opinions are perfectly valid, I usually hold them in a different realm than those that are most familiar with what id call the golden age of PC gaming (Doom II, till around the year 2003). Id say that if you had a commodore 64, and havent really touched a PC game since, then no... you are not a PC gamer. Maybe a classic gamer

I understand.

Though I have to clarify, I'm not a poseur. I sincerely loved Zork when it was new: I played all three games to completion (and several of the offshoots like Enchanter), bought (and still own) several of the books... I even wrote a fan letter to Infocom.

Yeah I might be a loser, but not a poseur!
