I bought a magazine back in the day that came with the game (still have the magazine, but the 2 CDs were borowed to a friend and I never saw them again...). It still amazes me how these characters stuck with me throughout the years, the pre-render backgrounds are still gorgeous and so the music. As far as the story goes, it's a bit basic, with some twists here a there. Silver is an older game and sometimes the combat can be a little clunky, although to me is completely fine. I believe younger people will have a bit of trouble when it comes to "what to do next", there is no log book, and the game doesn't hold your hand pointing you to the next objective. There are a couple of compatibility issues with the inventory UI but minor things aside this was as fun as it was in the past.

Shame on you Steam. Its full of bugs, incomplete (rain dungeon not available, glass palace unavailable, special attacks not available) and this is just after 4 hours of game play. I finished the game back in '99 but now it just feels like Steam robbed me of one of the best games from my childhood. Game is awesome, but not this version that Steam sells.

This is one of the games that basically forged my primal gaming experience. Next to age of empries and Starcraft, this was the first PC game I ever owned and played. THE IMPORTANT BIT FIRST: I highly recommend playing this game in PCem. https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ Its a free software that emulates old hardware. You can build an old pentium III machine with voodoo graphics or the like inside this virtual machine. WHY do I recommend this? Silver has been hit by fate. For some reason, during its lifetime, its source code which was written in freakin KOBOL was lost. Why is this important? It means that the old sourcecode cant be compiled anew for modern CPUs. It means that the game will forever be incompatible with modern systems. The only thing that can be done is trying to build workarounds, integrating the old compiled code into new adapter-code that somehow makes it executable on modern systems. This has its drawbacks though. It can easily lead to glitches in sound or graphics, it can cause crashes, and the intro, which is 5+ minutes long and very atmospheric, becomes a mess. ABOUT THE GAME (If played like it was meant to be): It is very atmospheric. Ive played it with german localization ever since (If you want to play it in german you either have to look for a german version online or find soundfiles online). Your protagonist has the synchro of nicolas cage in german ;) Of course nostalgia plays a huge role (for me), but the game IMHO aesthetically stands the test of time. The fixed angle on 3D pre-rendered backgrounds enabled the devs to create visually astounding setpieces that still impress (me) with they very own charmes. There really is nothing comparable to it, nothing I would know of at least. People sometimes compare it to older Final Fantasy games, Ive never played those, so I cant say. The levels/setpieces and music are a match made in heaven. Again, maybe its nostalgia, but I think that the game has a gorgeous soundtrack that works perfectly in tandem with the visuals. I remember that even back then, I sometimes started up the game and went to certain locations just to breathe in the gesamtkunstwerk. The gameplay was unique and probably is to this day. You have to try it out yourself to understand it. Its probably not as smooth and streamlined as modern games, but it was pretty intuitive and for most of the game was very playable (It was 2000 when I first played it and I had to make do with one of those mechanical mouses ^^ still worked, but it was hard!). I wish there were still games these days that were made this way. Back then it was due to technological limitations that one chose this type of presentation and the according game mechanics. But it created aesthetics and gameplay that were very enjoyable and maybe would be even more so today with modern means. Its like with old point and click adventures that had their backgrounds drawn by 2D artists. They were true art with some animation for the gameplay. Silver is comparable to these old adventure games. With the difference being that Silver was ONE of a kind. There are multiple adventure games from that age, but theres only ONE Silver.

It's great this game made a comeback, but please if you can restore the loading screen and the credit screen with the character artwork as per the retail physical version back in the 90s.
