I have a specific list of games I'd like to include that aren't already featured on the site, which include: I'd like to expand coverage for these going forward, so I'm putting out a public request for classic adventure gamers: if you are interested in covering these types of games for HG101, please drop me a line! I'm also finding that writing about this stuff is a bit more interesting than the usual expansive articles on unknown arcade games. I prefer articles written for both those unfamiliar and familiar with the game, not only picking out highlights for the newbies, but to elicit memories from those who have played it, and criticize as such. A lot of adventure game reviews sorta skim over important things like storyline, characterization, narrative, and perhaps most importantly, puzzles, perhaps for fear of spoiling too much for prospective gamers. "Reviews" seem to answer the question "is this game worth buying/playing?" The "Articles" that I put on HG101 assumes that yes, it is, to an extent, and the question answered is "what is interesting, important, or historically relevant about this game?" These are the types of questions I want to address. It's not necessarily the fault of the writers so much as the way they're written. That being said, I've been reading a lot of reviews on Adventure (ETC) and haven't found them quite up to par.
In the past I've stayed away from a lot of Western games, not because I don't like them, but because they're usually covered elsewhere and I've prefer to be a bit more unique. I've been on a point n' click adventure game bender for the past year or so, which should be obvious given the recent content on the site.
