I used to use Mavis Beacon to learn to type as a kid. I can type 100WPM now. It was a great tool.

why is Anachronox in that list? it definitely needs a followup, it left off on a cliffhanger and probably will never be continued.

I don't know if I would call Gabriel Knight a Mac game...

That being said, I'd love a sequel. But those games always had a serious case of identity confusion (with every title looking totally different and playing somewhat different from the others), so I'm not sure how you could ever do a sequel that would really work well (and not fall into the same sort of trap as King's Quest or Alone in the Dark did). Still slacker bookstore owners turned supernatural monster hunter and his cute Asian sidekick researcher girl has tons of potential for interesting stories if done right.

As for Ace Harding/Deja Vu, that was probably my least favorite of the MacVenture games. Shadowgate was easily my favorite by far, with Uninvited being a strong second. I'd love to see a Shadowgate sequel... except for the fact that we already got one, and it was total shit. And another, which was also kind of shit.

A lot of older games like that feel like they can't really be done properly these days, and remakes/reboots will only invite negative comparisons that ruin the franchise. If anything, maybe we'd be better off with more spiritual successors than outright continuations of old IP.

I remember back in 2010 that Tom Hall (the creator) said that if he never got the chance to make a sequel by 2020, he would just write up the script on his website for people to read. Obviously he hasn't done that yet...

Although he could make a sequal since Square Enix basically said that anyone who wants to make an Anachronox game can do so with their blessing.
