- Rainmaker Software's Isle of the Dead is an innovative mix of first-person shooter and point-and-click adventure game. Of course, innovation isn't always a good thing, as it often pops up on lists of the worst PC games of all time.
Thing is, this game came out in 1993. Not only did Doom, one of the greatest FPSes of all time, come out that year, so did Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers and Myst, two of the greatest point and click adventure games of all time. There is really no excuse for owning this game.
One of those zombies eating you was clearly Duke Nukem. Surprised you didn't point that out.
a machete is too violent but a shotgun is perfectly fine....... yeah that totally makes sense
this game scared me as a kid. that kid that said "daddy?" I actually had a nightmare over that
I had the original version of this game when I was a kid. If I remember correctly, killing the village drummer was actually part of a quest you had to do for the chief. He had a headache and asked you to get the guy to stop banging on the drums. Killing him was the only way to resolve it.
its funny that a merit software is involved in this because the game contains nothing of merit.
Maybe the team was just under time pressure and deadlines... This actually looks like a decent game - just not groundbreaking or "great". I would not say it can deserve the worst game ever made award.... The idea I literally like a lot and maybe gameplay is bad only because of deadlines effecting this kind of innovation badly to be honest...
The music in this game sounds like somebody having a seizure while attempting to play a MIDI keyboard.
Story sounds like Far Cry 1...
Looks like Dead Island but better.
I had this game when I was a teen... Bought it at release... With my entire allowance...
I quite like the death animations; it's kinda cool to see the zombies devour your character instead of the boring "slump over and die"
Well to be fair, all the gory scenes were also censored in the version with the bamboochete. Still not sure why machetes are censor-worthy and shotguns are okay, but whatever.
That music is a masterpiece.. I'll always shed a few tears when I hear that song playing.. me and my wife got married and chose that for or wedding song. I've never danced so Passionately to a piece of music. I'm crying right now thinking about it. And oh my don't get me started about our honey moon to this music. Let's just say it was like sea world. Very wet.
I bought this game used at a yard sale in the 90's it was on several 3½-inch floppy disks. Got home and inserted the 1st disk to load it and it had been copied over with Leisure Suit Larry. Guess I dodged a bullet of a crappy game. All this time I always wondered what the game was like.
Mabamcheteboo. I think I just found the name for my new band.
I am walkin'
Heh. Title sounds like "I love the dead."
Merit also published that terrible Dragon's Lair port I reviewed a while back. Yeah, they didn't exactly have a great track record.
Drawn in the style of every college-newspaper comic in the 80s.
