Alone in the Dark

The Good
Very creepy for its time. Lovecraftian theme! And of course the gameplay was so original when it first came out.

The Bad
The controls were pretty awkward, especially running. Also the fact that you can trap yourself in a certain situation with no way out especially if you didn't save the game first was very frustrating.

The Bottom Line
An adventure game that paved the way to games like Resident Evil and other "Survival Horror" type games. You control an investigator on a mission to discover the weird happenings in a mansion sometime in the 1920's or 30's. The graphics are a bit dated but they were pretty good at the time. This game was very fun to play with complex puzzles and a spooky atmosphere.
