This is one of the best "early CD-ROM interactive movies era" adventure games. It can compete with such great products of its time as Tex Murphy's series were (Under A Killing Moon, Pandora's Directive, Overseer) but it is unique to them in genre (demonic horror) and the very dark setting. I dare to say this is perhaps the most gore game ever created and it even contains some erotic scenes. This is surely not a game for kids despite its somewhat old and thus a still a bit unrealistic graphics. In the light of today's games the product cannot offer much graphics or sound wise. But for the oldtimers (like me) it was a great nostalgia experience. Also it was one of those great games I missed at its time and I simply wanted to know what it was about. Generally speaking - revieving a game like this is kind of pointless. If you don't know what Phantasmagoria is already then for gods' sake don't buy it! It is too old now to impress today's gamers. And if you do know it... Then you don't need my description or hints. Except perhaps this one: The game can be installed and run even on Windows Vista (!). All you have to do is to skip hardware detection. However to play it in the meaningful screen-size you will also have to set your monitor resolution as low possible (ideally 640x480).Read full review
I played this game in the 90's and at the time, it was cutting edge. It can still compete with todays games although the graffics are not as good. I saw in many reviews that it wouldn't work with XP, NOT TRUE. found some direction for installation online from a girl would claimed it worked just fine, followed her instructions to the letter and she is right. It works perfectly!Just like I remember, still a lot of fun and at times, downright spooky. Its a little graphic but nothing compared to some of todays games. It was ahead of its time in the 90's and is still a great game. A true classic!
I've had this game when it first came out. It was a blast. My son has recently requested this game for sentimental reasons and because he too enjoyed it. It's not as fancy as today's Wii system, not as realistic as PlayStation or xBox either but it was a very enjoyable game with endless twists and turns which made you think as well as react fast. I highly recommend this game to those who enjoy nostalgia and challenges.
It was far more than I had hoped for. Great item.I thought I was just getting a seven cd set of the first one but also got the set for the newer one. I had this game before but lost it and wanted a new one. Very long game and well worth them time. I left it as is but can be set for a less bloody game.
The game is pretty old, but for being as old as it is, it was still fairly entertaining. It really is not that scary of a game and it makes me wonder why there was so much controversy surrounding it when it came out. I have even heard that it was banned in a few countries. It was not a very challenging game and it went by fairly quickly, but it was still an interesting game that had a fairly intrigueing backstory.
