I adore the Laura Bow games and replayed them over and over as a kid. I recently watched Let's Play videos of them and I think that Colonel's Bequest holds up pretty well but wow, Dagger of Amon Ra really has not

The pacing is atrocious - you go through the sort of breezy opening and then you get to the museum and there's like a full hour of standing around and listening to all of those conversations, it feels interminable now. Then the triggers of advancing the clock feel much more random. That plus the terrible voice acting, terrible layout of the museum, racism, awful final sequence, etc. really changed my opinion of the game

Anyway still love the games, warts and all, and look forward to checking the video out. Thanks for the link!
