Anyone else return to an old favorite and been frustrated by an aged
interface after years of using slick modern ones?
I've been interested in the classic adventure games lately and fired up
Zak McKraken in an Amiga emulator and was horribly dissapointed by the
games interface. I remember at the time being impressed with its mouse
use and being able to click on the command options instead of typing
them in like in Sierra games. Now I find the later games more enjoyable.
Being able to type in the command directly is just faster and easier than
madly clicking around the screen in the clunky SCUMM interface. The late
release SCUMM games are pretty good but this early one is a drag. I'm
not sure if I will complete it but will at least keep with it for a while
longer.
