a ghost.. a real ghost.. has no need to die.. what is he except a being without access to the universe that he has not yet managed to forget? ~ randall jarrell

today i'm sharing what is my most favorite videogame of all ~
american mcgee's alice by ea games on pc from 2000 ~
what can i say except that i just love this game ~
at the time i played this game i had my pc hooked up to my tv for a nice big screen ~
i got well into this twisted wonderland & then needed to upgrade my pc to xp which resulted in my losing all playability! ~
an old friend, humpty dumpty ~
the cheshire cat by my side ~
original gameplay guide ~
oldschool installation ~
alice had a whole arsenal of toys she used as weapons in this dark wonderland ~
& so there i was stuck in the middle of the game for years with no end in sight ~
more than once people have commented about a resemblence between this alice & myself ~
i tried every fix i could to get the game to play but nothing worked ~
these are the notes taken by alice's psychiatrist at rutledge asylum ~
complete ~
there was laudanum & camphor ~
bloodletting & solitary confinement ~
art therapy? ~
force-feeding ~
experimental drugs ~
in-patient abuse ~
homicide & suicide attempts ~
insane children & a therapy cat? ~
psychoanalysis ~
you know, the usual ~
while dr heironymous q. wilson tries everything to evoke a breakthrough, alice fights her personal demons all in her own mind ~
i can relate ~
'if it's my keen invention you'd like to destroy, i'll withstand your best shot: i've got the right toy..' ~
check back tomorrow to see alice's progress ~
this has been a flashback friday favorite post from 2014.. also, alice fans should support american mcgee over on Patreon like i do to get cool insider benefits & help bring about more adventures in wonderland :D ~
