game number 2

Hi I've played ROTG, OP!
The music was amazing. Everyone played it. HECK I had a Game Boy walkthrough book thingy which had the following games in it:
Bart Simpsons Escapes Camp Deadly, Fortress of Fear, Quirk, Mario Land, Mario Golf AND ROTG so don't act so special.
I know there will be someone who has played MY GAME but I never see anyone talking about it and IF I post it it always ends up getting ignored so I might as well post it here hoping for someone to comment on it.

I am currently playing THE GENE MACHINE. To me it is still one of the BEST and MOST underlooked point and click adventures. Really its great and such an underdog. The animations are amazing. So many different animations for all your different items. You can see they put a lot of hard work and effort into this. I love all the little details like the fact that there are RANDOM PEOPLE walking on the street or walking in front of buildings / inside buildings. The game is ALIVE. I don't recall other point and click adventures having NPCs just for the sake of making it more alive. The humour is also HILARIOUS. I still laugh about it today. I've always used to be a Lucas Film Games fan boy but now as an adult a bunch of jokes are pretty lame, tame and quite embarrassing. The Gene Machine has great dialog and jokes. I think it didn't have enough advertising and it wasn't a big company. The game is from 1996 and the graphics and everything is AMAZING for the time but the question is: What other games were there in 1996? I guess a bunch of point and click adventures so it got overshadowed by bigger titles from known companies. It's a crying shame. It also probably doesn't help that the main character is a TOTAL DICK. He really is a prick but this is what makes the game so funny.
