I must have a really bad taste if all the games mentioned are generally considered to suck.

I love SimAnt, I should probably be more ashamed I like SimFarm as well :whistle:
Alleycat was a very popular game at the time, so I don't think that counts as a game with very bad critics (yeah well nowadays it has ofcourse but back then?). And hey, if Myst is really such a bad game then thousands of people should be ashamed of theirselves for buying it. Also there are more captain comic lovers. There's a whole cult of them actually =)

The only games I'm ashamed to admit that I like are Strippoker 2 and three

The Dig, other people went crazy other it, saying it was "utter crap" and "complete crap" I found no crappage, I found a fun adventure game that was soaked with atmosphere.

I used to have the Dig from back around when it first came out. I had played a demo and then raved about it to my friend so he went out and bought the cd. He ended up hating it (using the "utter crap" excuse) so he ended up giving it to me. Of course my computer at the time was a cranky git and didn't like the full version, and now that I have a perfectly fine pc the cd has mysteriously disappeared.


So much woe. LOL

What exactly was it that people found bad about the Dig? I don't think it's that bad either.

It's very easy. The plot is unfocused. You never really care about the characters. It's boring. It's pretentious. It's got that stupid turtle skeleton puzzle. I don’t think I would call it “utter crap” but it’s nothing special, it’s by far the weakest Lucas Arts adventure. In fact, it’s the only LA adventure I wish I didn’t buy.

i never played the dig, but monkey four was great, the best part being the humor. however, i can see what people might not have liked. some of the puzzles didn't make sense or were just frustrating (case in point, the part where you have to find the guy in the swamp, and it's pretty much trial and error), and i never liked controlling adventure games with the keyboard, it doesn't feel right.

A game I have played up to this day that created hours of enjoyment isn't even a computer game. The game:
Military Madness
It is for the NEC Turbo Graphics 16. This game is great! I had this game until a few months ago when my mom made us throw out the Turbo
It pissed the crap out of my parents with the awful sound, but his game created so much tension in my basement it was unbelievable. Four of us would be hanging on the edge of our seats while two of us duked it out in the Hexagonal battlefield. Man I miss this game.
