Ozzie And The Quantum Playwright Dean Sullivan 2002

This is an extremely short amateur adventure game that unfortunately doesn't offer nearly as much gameplay as its high production value may suggest. The game's plot is quite interesting: thanks to a huge drop in ranking of your university, the dean has decided to shut down the theatre department to build a library for accounting majors in its place. Since your girlfriend in the game is a theatre major, you (named Ozzie in the game) have to do something to stop it to prevent her from transferring to another school. And what better way to convince the dean of the merits of theatre than to use the time machine to bring back the world's greatest playwright of all: William Shakespeare. The game's strong point is definitely the graphics and sounds. As you can see from the screenshot, the background graphics is almost the same caliber as commercial adventure games. Every scene is detailed and very, very well-drawn. On the other hand, character graphics could use some work. Ozzie and other characters look like 2D paper dolls, and very "squished" when they walk toward edges of the screen, and they don't 'shrink' or 'grow' consistently enough to maintain the illusion of depth. The game uses an elegant point-and-click interface similar to Full Throttle: right-clicking on any object or person on the screen brings up a small action menu where you can USE, LOOK, or TALK to the target. Your inventory is easily accessed by moving the mouse to the top of the screen (as an aside, the game was coded using AGAST adventure game creation program, which emulates LucasArts' engine quite closely).
