Awesome. I loved those games and played them as a kid (in post-Soviet Russia) on a black and white laptop. Good memories. I have not seen anything past goblins 2 though. Looking forward to the later games especially. I watched the old LPs of these games by Nidoking and enjoyed them thoroughly. Lots of great nostalgic value there.

Praise be! By the way, the one-eyed skeleton scared my 6 year old self. I had to ask my parents to play through that part for me. Also, I don't think the game is as bullshit as people make it out to be. Yes, some of the logic is non-existent, but by the power of permutation, you can try all of the things in a reasonable time period. I think my parents beat the game in 1 or 2 weekends.

I checked and Gobliiins 4 is no longer available at the unfortunately named gamersgate or anywhere else online I looked.

Cool beans. We didn't have hint books for this back in Russia, so had to brute force all the way through. I finally went ahead and bought this pack on gog. Too bad that 4 is nowhere to be found, but it's probably worse than the old ones since they at least have nostalgia and cute art going for them.

I got through games 1 and 2 just now. I managed to get through 95% of 1 by memory and trial, but 2, oh boy. I guess I will withhold comment until we get to it.

Cool beans. The dragon room is pretty sweet imho. Sure it involves the usual Golbins bullshit, but it's a fun setting for its era. The deodorant joke is kinda great.

Deathwind posted:Wow, even for the time this game was lacking. Total moonlogic, threadbare story, a pointlessly punishing life system, and a lack of any real payoff in the end. This is the same wizard that would kill you on sight a few screens back, what's stopping him from zapping you? What keeps him trapped in the bag? Dude, this is the game that brought us mole rat tits. Have some respect.

I like the start of gob 2 a lot. The whole romantic notion of pastoral fantasy landscape and all that... It gets utterly bizarre pretty fast. By the second half of the game, I had to use the hint manual more often than not.

Hey, at least Gob 3 mostly makes sense (I have not finished it yet).

I too was stumped on scene 2 of gob 2 as a child. The loving clock scene. gently caress it so much.
