Amerzone: The Explorer’s Legacy

Before creating the Syberia franchise, Benoît Sokal cut his teeth in the world of game development with Amerzone. Based on one of his older comics, L’Amerzone (which had a significantly darker ending), Amerzone is the first major popular release developed under Microïds, selling over a million copies on first release. Looking back at it, you can see the pros and cons of the later Syberia series taking form. They all stem from Sokal’s inexperience with game design, which does show up in this release – but not as much as you’d think. For a newcomer, Sokal proved he could do something impressive with the graphic adventure genre. It’s mechanically simple and plays to his strengths as a storyteller and comic artist, and he had a refreshing focus on making the game approachable to wider audiences.

Wonder Boy Returns

Unfortunately, Westone went out of business in 2014, and the intellectual properties were liquidated to a company called LAT. The Korean developer CFK then picked up the rights to the original Wonder Boy, and created Wonder Boy Returns in 2016. It’s technically the first follow-up to the original game not to use the Takahashi Meijin / Adventure Island name.

Prehistoric Isle

Long ago, before SNK was known mostly for their fighting games, they dabbled in a variety of genres, including shooters. Prehistoric Isle in 1930 is one of them, released before their Neo Geo system. As the title implies, it's not the usual generic space battle, but something much more original. The story of this game combines two famous myths: the disappearances of ships and aircraft caused by the Bermuda Triangle, and the existence of a "lost continent" where dinosaurs, cavemen and other remains of the prehistoric era still live. The protagonists are a couple of pilots that, during the investigation of said disappearances, stumble upon an uncharted island that they dub "Greenhell Isle", after they discover that it's full of murderous ancient creatures. 

The air is cool and moist as I steer our little group through the grove of palm trees. Keeping the steak knife within an inch of Christine’s spine, I march her toward an abandoned cabin I’d scouted the other day.

None of us speak. I brought Christine’s phone with me and once we get to where we’re going, she will surrender all her passwords and logins. I will then delete everything to do with Bridget, Gavin, or Kayla, and sift through any and all correspondence between her and Alex. It better be as one-sided as Alex says, or I don’t know what I’ll do next.

“Turn left here,” I say, glad people as big as Stephanie and as strong as Pierre are holding onto her. Being surrounded by the three of us, I doubt she’ll try to pull anything. I grow tense. I am ready. I can do this. The narrow, winding trail opens into a clearing. And there it is. Stephanie jogs ahead to work the door open.

The cabin is both smaller and cleaner than I remember, so for all I know it’s not the exact same one I found earlier. It doesn’t matter. At the entrance, Christine balks. I wave my knife in front of her face. “Get in there. Now!”

Her body quivers. She closes her eyes and nods. I head inside, taking the lantern from Pierre. I set it into a corner and turn it to the lowest setting. When I look up, Stephanie and Pierre are still trying to get her through the door and an image of a barnyard animal about to be loaded for slaughter pops into my head.

“Get in here!”

She lets out an ear-shattering scream.

“Shut up!” I hiss, slapping her across the face. The sting on my palm feels  incredible; I wish I’d done that ages ago. Like that day in the park. Pressing my knife to her cheek, I add, “Don’t think for a second I won’t use this.”

She stumbles inside, followed by Stephanie and Pierre who’re keeping their grip firm on her wrists. A dizzying thrill courses through my body. “Still got her phone, Pierre?”

“Right here,” he says, closing the door. He pats his pocket and pops his brows quizzically. I shake my head. Not yet.

He and Steph keep hold of Christine while I use my own phone to send a text to my dad. The one man in the world who would do literally anything for me, even keeping my pregnancy secret from my mother until he gets my go ahead. If she tries to run for it, he will get her.
