Tachyon Dreams Anthology review: '80s-inspired space questing that channels Sierra's heyday

Almost like the adventures of Roger Wilco, but not quite In the heyday of Sierra’sadventure gameyears, there was a series calledSpace Questthat featured an intergalactic janitor named Roger Wilco. The series was more satirical thanKing’s Quest, less preachy than Police Quest, and not quite as adult as Leisure Suit Larry. Spearheaded by Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe - a pair of devs who called themselves “Two Guys from Andromeda” - Space Quest was renowned for its humour, and there was a nice sense of progression throughout most of the series, with Roger Wilco leveling up from working class spaceman to the head of his ownStar Trekship....

Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure review: a unique puzzle game that keeps things moving

M People would really approve Arrangeris apuzzle gameabout moving, in both metaphorical and literal senses.

Rather, imagine that the row or column Jemma is on becomes a travelator, and you control the direction and speed of it....
