I remember this ... although its seems awful now at the time it seemed ok although it does have its faults for a point and click horror.
The acting isnt as good as you would expect and the story could be better although I still do not recall fully understanding what went on but since it had an 18 BBFC if i recall due its themes and some sceens in it at the time in 1997 for EU release ... ?? was it only released then, seems far longer but thats whats on wikipedia. There are some moments which will or did make me jump and I had played through more than once which I expect was to try and understand the story as not everything was clear on the first play through as well as it has two different endings.
I just love the Phantasmagoria series! It was the first game and a daft 3DO adventure/shooter called Corpse Killer that started my love/hate relationship with FMV heavy adventure games. I belive Corpse Killer was also released on DOS so I would love to see it get the GOG treatment! :p

I own the original Big Box versions of both Phantasmagoria and Phantasmagoria II - A Puzzle of Flesh. I also remember being so disapointed to find out that here in the UK Phantasmagoria II was cut by the BBFC. Two death scenes I believe were censored regrdless of whether you played the game in it's censored form or not!

From what I can remember the first Phantasmagoria remained intact and included that infamous scene here in the UK. Regardless both games were excellent and still remain in my collection today. I will be getting both games again soon (saves messing about with patches to get these games working on modern computers) to support GOG, especially Phantasmagoria II so I can finally play through the game uncensored! :D

heheh i was the same, i found it pretty hypocritical that they cut the 2nd game and not the first. when i played the uncensored version i found the 2 death scenes they censored weren't even that explicit, ok what happens to the 2 victims is quite extreme and ott but no more ott than the original and in terms of blood you dont see allot and they're over pretty quick. i found the torture death scenes and the end sequence in the original phantasmagoria allot more disturbing when i was younger and they were certainly allot more explicit..
