So, uh, is this game any good?

Looks quite interesting, like to see your thoughts.

I liked it. Played it back in the day. It kind of depends on if you like old school adventure games, though this one is much more puzzle based. Climbing around and using your roachy abilities to survive, and manipulate the environment in whatever ways your tiny body, while dodging roach motels and the like.

This game is incredible, i played it when i was much younger and i remember how strange and creative the story is. it's an odd game and not for everyone but i remember it fondly.

[Puzzlemint]

Absolutely loved it. One of my favorite niche games of all time.

[gusgreco7]

[BlueStinger]

I also love this game. Such a classic.

Definitely good. Tried to install my disc version about 2 months ago just for the hell of it; naturally Win 7 told me to go ♥♥♥♥ myself. It's great to see it here on Steam.

This game was so incredibly weird. Probably the one game that truly deserved to be called Kafkaesque.

You should get acquainted with how the game was made to truly appreciate its full grotesqueness (and to decide if you are offended by its nature before digging in). Reikhardt posted a very good link for that - if you hate reading, just check this excerpt from it:

And so you see why this game can be so icky. That's not a well drawn picture of a dead rat. That's an actual dead rat, scanned in for your stomach churning pleasure by developers who jokingly complain that the problem with trying to scan in spiders is that they would literally vaporise in the heat of filming. They ordered cockroaches from a supply company and let them be fruitful and multiply, creating what they called 'a terrarium of horrors'. The rat though... the rat really had a bad day.

"It was our original goal not to harm any animals during the production of the game," begins the story. It doesn't get much better from there, with our friend there having just been captured from a restaurant by an exterminator... who then smashed it against his truck. Not apparently too bothered, the team raced back to stick it on the scanner table and get as many shots as they could before it started to stink and go rotten, and the story became "We only harmed animals who were on Death Row anyway."

At least the cats in the FMV bits were handled by a proper trainer.

The catfish you find in the kitchen though? Beheaded in the studio. To be photographed.

A link to the "making of" video:

I would wait until it is out, though, to see how they went about with the porting.

what is exactly new in this 'Redux" version? i did noticed updated FMV anything else?

[sbN]

Its been out for a while on GOG. http://www.gog.com/game/bad_mojo_redux

More than enough reviews on there.

Redux was released back in 2004 on DVD. That means higher quality FMV files.

"Got Game Entertainment re-released the game in December 2004 as Bad Mojo Redux. All in-game videos were remastered from original footage. Redux runs in truecolor only, opposed to the 1996 release which required only 256-color mode. This change makes the videos clearer and more colorful. The re-release also came with a bonus DVD, which contained a making-of, art galleries and other bonuses.[3] This DVD was omitted from the UK release."

Ah, so it existed already. I guess its safe to buy, then.

Odd. I have the original CD ROM and I'm playing it just fine on Windows 8.

And I don't have the , "Redux" , version mine is the original by GOT.
But, since this is the Redux version I'm getting it. Mine is CD and the game videos
are crap. But I'm shocked it runs with the CD on Windows 8!

[wsgroves]

Great game. Remember playing the originl when it came out. Going to have to pick this one up.

[Luiz Alves]

This is one game that sure deserves a remake. I loved it back in the day, and I'm very happy to see it on Steam.
