Riddle of the Sphinx Series


The Riddle of the Sphinx series has got to be one of my all time favorites in the world of computer games. The game was mostly released by I think Dreamcatcher Interactive. This game is a first person perspective game that falls into the adventure/puzzle genre. Like MYST, this series contains multiple endings depending on the players choices throughout the game. But, only one ending is the happy ending. This game takes place at the Giza Plateau in Egypt. You are able to explore the Great Sphinx, the campsite of the archeologists, and the Great Pyramid. There are several other places to explore, but if I tell everyone about them now it would ruin the surprise for them if they should decide to play it themselves. This game is in my opinion one of the most exciting games there are. This series mixes computer graphics with live action actors just like in the MYST series. The graphics in this game are about the same as in RIVEN, the sequel to MYST. I thought that the music in the game was placed perfectly throughout it to match every single surrounding music was played in (everywhere). What I like the best about the game is the plot. It gives everyone a very entertaining story that helps to give a new theory to a legendary historical event that none has ever been able to explain, and will probably never be able to explained.

The Omega Stone is the sequel to The Riddle of The Sphinx. It is my favorite game in the series so far. It takes place at the Giza Plateau like the first game, but also five other locations that all seem to be connected to the Giza Plateau. The connections are found near the end of the first game. This game has less music in it than in the first game. But, the music that is played at proper points of the game adds to the suspense and to the plot of the game. The graphics of this game are like the third and fourth games in the MYST series. I like plot best about the game. I feel that the plot of this game is about several hundred times bigger than the first. Like in the first game “It gives everyone a very entertaining story that helps to give a new theory to a legendary historical event that none has ever been able to explain, and will probably never be able to explained.” but this one answers a bigger question . It links a predetermined date in the future with a forgotten past that just about everyone whishes they can discover.
