I've been buying games over Ebay during the last week - and they've been so cheap. Purchases so far: Shivers - $5.00; Zork Nemesis - $10.00; Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Dammed - $25.00.
I've played Zork Nemesis before and the graphics, movie sequences, and music are better than any game I've ever seen. And the gameplay is unbelievable. You really feel you're on the verge of discovering the great secret of the ages - the fifth element, or Philosophers Stone, which turns lead into gold and creates life. This is because the game actually contains and is based on many occult theories and secrets. It turns out that the fifth element is blood...or the energy that runs through blood - the emotions - especially the positive ones like love.
Heavy stuff, but when combined in the haunting story of Zork Nemesis it's the penultimate gaming experience.
Looking forward to experiencing Shivers and Gabriel Knight for the first time.
