I remember picking up my copy of Bad Mojo back when it was first released in 1996. The Roach Game, as it became known, embodies what Drew Huffman, Pulse Entertainment's founder and president, calls the 'Booger Principle': something really disgusting will attract and hold lots of attention without generating too much backlash. Spin aside, for those with a taste for the creepy/weird and a willingness to see through the grime of the world into the heart of the spirit, Bad Mojo is an extraordinary adventure. Players expecting a creepy/weird point-and-click, first-person experience a la Myst found instead a creepy/weird third-person (or should that be third-roach?) adventure driven by nothing but the cursor keys. While arresting, the blurb is more than a bit misleading. In this Kafkaesque graphic adventure game, Roger (you) must scurry through the walls of a run down San Francisco bar trying to restore his memory and his human form while avoiding spiders, a roach eating cat, and other creatures that live in the bar.īad Mojo's original publicity spin asked players to imagine Myst, directed by David Lynch and scripted by Franz Kafka.

Unfortunately, he can't remember what it was because he has been transformed into a cockroach. Featuring more than 800 scenes to explore, laced with puzzles, bugs, and dirt, Bad Mojo is an ambitious adventure game of epic proportions, especially from the perspective of a roach. In Bad Mojo, you must assume the role of Samms and crawl your way through Eddie's bar, listening and watching out for any clues about what just happened and figuring out how to get yourself back to normal. Right then and there, he mutated into a cockroach. As Samms picked up the medallion, he began to transform into someone or something else. In his haste, though, he forgot something-a precious, mysterious medallion.

However, he planned on leaving that night so he packed his bags and began to head out the door on his way to fame. Samms had been living in an apartment on top of Eddie's bar.

Roger Samms, an entomologist, was just about to gain the recognition for which he yearned.
