About the game:
imon the Sorcerer 3D (also known as Simon 3D), is an adventure game released by Adventure Soft on 13 April 2002 for Microsoft Windows. It is the third game in the Simon the Sorcerer series.
As indicated by the title, the game was the first in the series with 3D graphics. The publisher's website claims that there are over 40 hours of gameplay, and reviews stated that the game world includes over 10,000 pieces of voiced dialogue. The sarcastic attitude and cruel humour of the series remain. Brian Bowles returns as the voice of Simon.
The story picks up some time after Simon the Sorcerer II: The Lion, the Wizard and the Wardrobe. It opens with a lengthy cutscene explaining how Simon's body, which had been separated from his soul by Sordid in the second game, was recovered and "rejoined" with his soul. At the start of the game Simon's immediate objective is to get to the city Poliganis and join Calypso. Before he can do this several smaller tasks have to be completed, in typical adventure game fashion. Upon arriving in Poliganis he is greeted by Melissa Leg, the heroine who apparently rescued his body from Sordid. She wants a favour in return: for Simon to track down the Swampling and let her know of his whereabouts. Once Simon finds the Swampling, there follow several revelations concerning the game's storyline, as well as the origins of the Universe.
About the run:
I managed get a sub 4h time for this game what was all I wanted.
Lets recap:
Chapter 01 = Worked out fine no major mistakes
Chapter 02 = Did a couple of mistakes route could be more optimized
Chapter 03 = Was solid still more time to save
Chapter 04 = Did use the teleports in the wrong order so I had to walk to much otherwise good
Chapter 05 = Minigames worked out most of the time, got a huge time loss by catching the ghost, this cost me more then 5-7m also the route wasnt perfectly played out
Chapter 06 = Nothing to complain here
Despite all the bad reviews for this game, I have to admit I enjoyed playing/running this game. Music is really great, dialogs are sometimes really funny, puzzles are weird, there is a lot of content, minigames are not frustrating and vary much. The game was just released at the wrong time when everything has to be 3D. Yes I liked it.
I am pretty sure that there has to be some glitches or bugs to abuse to cut some corners, lets see how low the world record will go in the near future.
Anyway enjoy!
