More Interactive movie goodness. Way back in time, back in 1642, England was awash with witch hunts. Great teams of angry Christians, armed with pitchforks and flaming torches, scoured the countryside looking for witches. Having cornered and captured a witch, they would be tried and then burnt.

Around 1995 the same thing happened to the Interactive Movie game genre. Hordes of angry video game industry pundits and journalists, scoured this land for the dark evil that was Interactive Movies. And interactive movies, like witches, were purged from this green and pleasant land. Seems a little harsh but in retrospect was fair, as most Interactive movies were awful.

Psychic Detective was amongst the best of a bad lot and stands out for two dubious reasons.

Firstly: Marcia Pizzo in a slinky tight dress. Marcia had been the pretty military commander in Shockwave 1 and 2 on the 3DO and had been seen dressed in a pseudo military costume. This meant for male 3DO owners at least, there were questions regarding Marcia. Psychic Detective and that dress answers a few of those questions.

Secondly: Ohh! Come-on! It is kind of fun. Three disks worth of disk swapping fun but fun none the less. Let us not forget, while playing this game you witness: a young girl turning into an old hag during sex. You can be thrown into jail and let us not forget that magical moment when you possess the mind of a tramp. If you are a professional footballer, it's unlikely this will be anything new but for the rest of us, it's a world of discovery and adventure.

You know what? I've rambled on again and missed the point of what I was talking about. And no, it's not the fact that Marcia doesn't appear naked in the game, despite the Adult rating. I have in fact forgot to tell people what the game is about.

It's called 'Psychic Detective' have a wild guess.

3DO kid.
