(ags) The Shivah – Rabbi Detectives?!? Oy vey! – AGS

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Today’s review is about an adventure game called “The Shivah” from Wadjet Eye Games.  But before we get to that let me tell you a little story about me.  Adventure games in ages past were a bit part of why I became a programmer.  Great classics such as Sierra’s Space Quest Series, and the King’s Quest Series, The Secret of Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion, and Maniac Mansion 2: Day of the Tentacle, as well as Sam and Max hit the road had inspired me to get into making games.  At the time it was hard to find information about programming because the internet was still in it’s infancy and you had to use bulletin board systems to communicate with people.  In any case I pressed on slowly but surely learning a craft that I hope would allow me to make these kinds of games.  Soon I was making games, and that was about the time in the late 90’s that adventure games stopped being produced by major companies.
