Crash Garrett

Crash Garrett is a pulp-inspired adventure that puts the player in the role of a tough, wisecracking hero caught up in a mystery filled with danger, suspicious characters, and old-fashioned action. Its style draws heavily from serials and adventure fiction, giving the story a deliberately theatrical feel. Exploration, conversations, clues, and puzzles form the backbone of the game, while the setting encourages the player to think like a detective rather than simply blast everything in sight. The humor and period atmosphere help give the adventure its own identity, and the plot moves along with the sort of enthusiasm normally reserved for Saturday-morning serials. It may not be the most famous adventure of its generation, but it has plenty of character. Fans of vintage pulp stories should find its combination of mystery, action, and eccentric situations quite appealing.
