Old School Adventure Games Part 4: Scooby Doo Mystery

There's a good chance you don't even know about this game. If one of my neighborhood friends hadn't had it, there's no way I would have either. But destiny united me with Scooby Doo Mystery.



This game is without a doubt the closest you will ever get to a faithful adaption of an episode of Scooby Doo. Actually, two episodes. You can solve either "Blake's Hotel" or "Ha Ha Carnival." Two games for the price of one! Orange Box trendsetter what?



If you are going to play this game for the first time I would highly recommend the level "Blake's Hotel." It's classic Scooby Doo monster mystery set-up. The hotel is on some kind of sacred ground, a ghost is showing up scaring people away, the team is called in to meddle.



The first thing you will notice about this game is that it looks AMAZING. It has LucasArts' style slabbed all over it.



Basically you play as Shaggy with Scooby sticking by your side the whole game. You wander around, talk to people, pick things up, check stuff out, and try to not get stuck wandering what the hell you are supposed to do next. As a teenager, this game challenged me. I will go back and play it to see if it qualifies for the hardest game ever.

In summary, if you enjoy life and fun then this is the game for you. It's like Indiana Jones meets the Hardy Boys. And I don't mean like if the game were crossed with the book. It would be like if the two actually met and shook hands.

So awesome.

Part 1: Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Part 2: Loom
Part 3: King's Quest: Quest for the Crown

Look for tomorrows post to come from the adventure king himself, -D-!

I had no idea this existed until you told me about it; I want to play it so badly. It's unreal how much this game looks like an old LucasArts adventure...UNREAL!

HOW WAS I UNAWARE OF THIS GAME

I played this as a kid, the use of a controler to navigate the menus really bugged me so I couldn't get into it.

Wait, so do they actually shake hands in the game? Is Harrison Ford (AKA INDIANA JONES) a playable character?

Absolutely yes on both.

I actually rented this from Blockbuster when I was a kid, but didn't get to play it (family emergency). I always wanted to rent it again, but I choose Vectorman instead. After that, I just forgot about it. Since it was in my possession at one point of my life, I guess that's grounds for "backing up" a copy.

This wins the obscurity contest hands down. Either that, or I'm way too old for a Scooby Doo game released in 1995 to catch my interest. Probably both :(

I rented this game from back in the day. I think I spent my time on Ha Ha Carvival though and had to take it back before I could start on Blake's Hotel. I do remember the graphics being really good, and the game being hard as all hell. Good times.

Unless you're talking about

A) Manuel Calavera, or
B) Guybrush Threepwood

you've failed at Adventure Game, since they are the kings...mainly Guybrush. My opinion at least :D.

Luca, not Lucas... and nope, I have no patience :D. Though I was being sarcastic mostly up above. Ya can't have reviews of adventure games without those two, especially Monkey Island. Defined the genre, really.
