Worst adventure game of all time?

[Ed Oscuro]

It's been a long time since I even thought about this game. It looks even worse than Maabus reputedly was, by a LONG shot.

So...oh, right, here's the game's trailer. Almost everything I know about the game is mentioned in the upload info. Enjoy...I guess?

Prepare yourself for BADNESS

Looks like that awful PBS-quality Overdrawn at the Memory Bank movie starring Raul Julia (gotta be some MST3K fans here!)

Console?!? Price??! CML!?!? WANT!!

Windows 95 (probably), last copy sold on eBay for $25 + shipping (roughly $30 total). Put 'er in your watch list.

I'm still laughing at "I'M ARTIFICIAL!"

I can think of a few 3DO games that would be tough to beat...I'd say Dragon Lore is the worst of the lot.

I can't imagine it's worse than this.

Like, if the Dragon wasn't a real dragon, but a drawing of a dragon that somebody put in front of a camera...maybe I could see it. Then it would be merely as bad.

Dragon Lore wasn't that bad, I had it for DOS way back when and I remember enjoying it. Mainly because you were able to kill just about everyone and if done right, you could still manage get a good ending doing so.

If Ed Wood had made videogames, he'd have made something almost exactly like The Umbra Conspiracy, except it would have vampires, zombies, a sea monster, burning pie plates, Bela Legosi and crossdressing.

The space shuttle scene almost made me cry.

[goemon]

Are you sure this is a video game and not a high school film project? The end part with the burning photo made me wonder...

[Vectorman0]

I really want this, if it was on a console I would be all over it.

[Hounder]

That was just......bad. And that's a weak word to describe it.

[Push Upstairs]

That was the excrement of excrement.


Did they make that shuttle explosion with MS Paint?

While perusing the MobyGames database, I found this game. Whether or not the two are related is anybody's guess, although they both sound similar in execution. I found this line to be the most telling:

"When Umbra was released, most of the members of GoogolTek were 12 or 13."

Wait, I've read that line before... Ah, yes, it was in this review of Tellurian, the sequel to The Umbra Conspiracy.

Yes, they made a sequel.

Wow. The trailer to Tellurian sounds like it was made with a little synth keyboard bought at a dollar store. And it looks like Googoltek loves Bryce 3D.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I.

Must.

Own.

Umbra Conspiracy.

"Hello, you've reached the white house. I'm artificial!"

If someone has/gets this game, post lots of details. Nothing in this trailer makes sense, especially since one of the above articles says it's about a vanishing school.

[Ed Oscuro]

Umbra =/= Umbra Conspiracy. Tellurian isn't a sequel to the Umbra Conspiracy; to the best of my knowledge the games are completely unrelated.

I imagine Umbra/Tellurian are better simply for not having the world's worst artificial exchange operator.

See the picture of the Umbra (not Conspiracy) box? Umbra Conspiracy has the picture of Hitler on the front.

Crazy though. It's like the plot to some bad hentai movie where you accidentally open a gateway to hell, and tentacle monsters come rushing out. The difference here is that each of those tentacles bears a copy of some heretofore unknown, world-class-bad computer game.

Two of the funnier comments so far at [http://www.forumplanet.com/gamespy/t...043155]GameSpy Forums[/url]:

Space Ace: "That looked so cheap it gave me a rash."
Bazbake: "In case it really was a porn company, I'd get that rash checked."

Maybe not the worst adventure games of all-time, but the Myst series is incredibly boring and illogical, even with the player's guides. What about Tail of the Sun for PlayStation?

Eh, blow it out yer arse Also, no more derailing.

Oh yeah, for people who were wondering if this isn't real:

I'm not derailing. Aren't the Myst games supposed to be adventure games? If not, what are they?
