Alone in the Dark

[Judith Gray]

I am very fond of Alone in the Dark, but there aren't many people who are big fans of the series.

I have every game in the series released so far and I must say, they are very well made. But for some reason, my copy of the first game doesn't seem to have any volumne control.

I first got into the games midway into 2001, after buying The New Nightmare. At the time, I thought it was actually better than Resident Evil. Well, the older releases anyway...

I longed for a proper sequel, and although one is coming out soon, I have my doubts about it being a horror game. Some of it looks more like a pilot episode of 24 or something. The graphics do look impressive though, and I'll keep my eyes peeled for any updates on it.

i dont like it being in a park really, i really like Alone in the dark N.N but i don't think i'll be buying this right away. The graphics look gr8, but the storyline is yet to be seen. i really like the last one where you can be two ppl, and see the story from their point of view, i wished they did the same with this game. but i prefer project zero (fatel frame) to this game.

I never really got into the New Nightmare. It's probably because I'm stuck in the mindset of other games I own but I found it akward and, from what of the storyline I could get, dull as dishwater and horribly predictable.

Sadly, I haven't played the others. I've heard the first is awesome and the second and third...well, zombie pirates and cowboys?

[Skunky]

The new one has been in the works for a while now...
The only one I have is 'the New Nightmare'. I thought it looked pretty impressive at the time but I remember my first time playing I got stuck in a wall
No matter what I did I couldn't move (I couldn't even see myself!)
A few days later I was playing again and the same thing happened in a different place! I've got a huge collection of games and when it happened the 2nd time I just thought F**k this, I'll play something else.
I've never returned to it...

come to think of it i may go back to NNM, but i have r.e 4 on wii and assassins creed to complete atm

Well, I picked up the AITD trilogy for $10 (I think; it was about 8 years ago), and I managed to finish all of them with a little help from my best friend gamefaqs.com. Great games. Also, DarkMoon, the cowboys and pirates thing works well. The pirates aren't zombies, by the way. Just crazy-ass guys.

Edit: Found my trilogy

Here!

[Tenebrae]

The first AITD was my real first horror Of course now they all look rather funny.
I was expecting a lot from "The new nightmare" but after playing it for a couple of hours I felt that there is something really missing, despite the nice graphics and athmosphere.I hope they will come up with something original in the new game.

I liked the first game and AitD4: New Nightmare for DC/PSX

[Helegad]

Am I allowed to post up my AITD trilogy in ISOs so people who haven't played it can do so? Is that against the rules?

[Helegad]

Well, can I?

[Hunk_4TH]

I don't think that would be allowed here since its still piracy even though they're old games.

[Helegad]

They should be freeware by now. Did you know that id is still selling Wolf3D? Look at their website.

I watched the tv series as a kid and I played AITD4 psx hacked version which had a intro made by paradox I think.

Oh I knew that. Kinda like how 3D Realms lets you download Duke 1 and 2 etc.. those games are rather old as well like the original Alone In The Dark games but since they're still selling the Wolfenstein games why would Alone In The Dark be freeware? both games are about the same age.

Alone In The Dark? Or Wolfenstein?

[Hunk_4TH]

Oh that has nothing to do with Alone In The Dark they're two completely different things lol

[Helegad]

AITD1 had it's fifteenth birthday sometime this year, did you know?

[The Dude]

I missed the boat on this series and never picked up a copy, well thats not true a friend of my mothers gave me 30 games after her husband passed for the PC and Alone in the Dark was one of them but I never played it so dad just passed it on to someone else, whats the kicker as all the PC monkey island games were boxed in there too

[kevstah2004]

Oh that has nothing to do with Alone In The Dark they're two completely different things lol

I thought the tv series was based on the game but was toned down & re-named for kids my bad. Anyway I have played AITD4 I've still got the save on memory card where I gave up in Lucy's Bedroom lol

[Hunk_4TH]

Nah it wasn't but I see why you would think so it has a similar title I have yet to finish The new nightmare for the Dreamcast I got pretty far but ended up giving up I think lol.
