    Roberta Williams' Phantasmagoria

    Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Jul 31, 1995

    A full-motion video adventure game from King's Quest creator Roberta Williams, Phantasmagoria was one of the best-selling Sierra titles of all time and the subject of controversy for its graphic violence and sexual themes.

    Random-ass PC Game? Phantasmagoria?! Oh, dear.

    Phantasmagoria was considered pretty fucked up back in the day, though I never had a chance to play it myself. I wonder how Dave's adventure into this is going to turn out.

    Anyone here have memories of playing this game? How do you remember it?

    I remember I wanted it when I was a kid. Suffice it to say, I never got it. :(

    I think it's great that the Sierra school of adventure games are getting featured on the site. I was a Sierra kid instead of a LucasArts kid back in the days and really enjoyed that Sierra conversation that popped up on the Bombcast way back when Brad talked about reading the Wikipedia article for Sierra and Roberta Williams.

    No idea what this game is. I'm looking forward to watching Dave and Vinny bumble their way through it on Friday.

    Also Phantasmagoria is a helluva name.

    Man, I don't care what they play at this point, Random-ass PC games never fail to amuse; Vinny and Dave always have the best bantar :P I think I've already watched the ridiculous SWAT PC one almost 9 times just because they are so darn funny :D so totally excited for this one!

    I can only hope that this will eventually lead to Shivers. I love that game more than it probably deserves.

    Well, considering that it's a FMV adventure game, I can only see good things coming from this. In any case, I'd imagine that Phantasmagoria is at least a few steps above Police Quest SWAT. It's still a Roberta Williams adventure game though, so the amount of moon logic will probably be through the roof.

    Another vote for the sequel being amazing. It made for one of the best LPs ever, since I can't imagine trying to puzzle all that nonsense out myself.

    I was almost positive I saw this show up as a subscriber vid earlier today, but that I'm home and logged in I don't see mention of it anywhere but here. What fresh madness is this?

    With this and Spoony's Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle Of Flesh let's play, I have now experienced the entire Phantasmagoria series. I feel dirty.

    Hadn't watched the live-stream, so looking forward to seeing it on the Subscriber video section. I hope Dave and Vinny tore this game a new one MST3K/Beavis and Butt-head style because I hate point-and-click adventure games with a burning hot passion for the tortured fucking logic in those games.

    Oh man i really hope this gets uploaded, i was watching it for 10 minutes and decided to stop watching so i could save it for a later date. It looked too awesome. I suspect the size of the video is the reason it may take a while, or at least i hope so.

    I'm really looking forward to the archive too. I got to see a pretty large chunk of it before work but I was doing some laundry at the same time and I have no idea how much longer they ended up playing when I finally had to leave the apartment. What I saw was glorious though.

    My only disappointment is that I played Phantasmagoria recently at Halloween. Still looking forward to their reactions! I know I laughed my way through a lot of the game.

    Same. Sierra games were always played in my house. Police Quest was always my favorite. I liked it better than King's or Space Quest, but it is the most underrated of the old Sierra games.
