  7.5

  8-bit Adventure Anthology Volume I does exactly what it advertises. It allows players to play three classic adventure games on modern consoles without any hassle. That said, it’s important to know exactly what you’re getting into since this doesn’t featured remastered versions, and the design is absolutely old school.

  If you missed out on Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Uninvited when they first released and are a fan of point-and-click adventures, you owe it to yourself to add The 8-Bit Adventure Anthology: Volume 1 to your collection. All three of these games will offer hours of satisfying puzzles, tense atmosphere, and more untimely deaths than you can shake a life insurance policy at. While it does suffer from occasional control hiccups and a dated UI, it’s easy to overlook given just how engaging each of the included games is. If you have a soft spot for point-and-click adventures, this nostalgic collection is worth every penny.

  8-Bit Adventure Anthology Volume 1 features three point-and-click adventures games originally for the NES that were popular in the 80s and early 90s.

  It really all boils down to if you have nostalgia for these games or have a genuine interest in checking out the early days of point and click adventure games. Either way, you get three full games that are still fun in some instances even if some of the mechanics don’t hold up. Even then, there’s plenty of walkthroughs that have been made throughout the years that can help if you’re stuck. And all of this for the low price of eight bucks.

  8-Bit Adventure Anthology: Volume 1 is an enjoyable experience, but it feels more like an exhibit than anything else. While collection style games are always going to be a mixed bag, 8-Bit Adventure Anthology doesn't really have a weak spot so much as it has a dip with Uninvited. Fortunately, the whole package is one point-and-click fans would be downright silly to miss out on, though perhaps they'd be better off playing it somewhere else.
