Drascula

Flight of the Amazon Queen (This is a surprisingly well-done click adventure game in the style of the old LucasArts games. Not quite on their level, but it is still well, well worth downloading!)

I played this for about 15 minutes and got past the prison scene, looked like a great game and unique game..The only game (I can remember) that is even close to this is "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" and that is a throwback but if you liked this game I'm sure you would be interested in that..

And bro, developers no longer make games like these anymore..Theres no way in hell you would find a game similar on the PS3, your gonna have to dig up PC throwbacks or even play flash games if you wanted..There could be newer PC games like this though..

lol true that

i had a little faith though with morrowwind oblivion and fallout 3 etc, those seem like heavy story games. youd think someone would make like a psychological horror game with a story like that

@mrtonguetwista thanks for moving the thread to its appropriate place

^^^ damn, i hella wanted to play that back in the day.. never got the chance to though. it wont run on windows 7 or whatever though, will it?
i dunno, you never know until you try.
if anything you could just run it on an old computer, it definitely isnt system intensive lol

i think the requirements were like 64mb of ram or some shit
