PC

Game Review 1 (written by Shannon) Added on: 09/11/2009
Majestic Part One: Alien Encounter is a very short but super fun game that was created by Istvan Pely, who also created other short science fiction oriented games, such as Zero Critical and Symbiocom’s Syn-Factor. It features a great story line that is deep and engrossing, which is one of the things…along with good puzzles…that can hold an adventure game together. It offered a manual that was complete in several languages, making it a great play globally. A dedicated gamer could complete the whole game in perhaps six hours or less, making it an awesome rainy day play.


The story centers around a luxury liner, similar to modern day cruise ships, the SS Majestic. The main difference, of course, is that the Majestic is made to travel through space. The story of the Majestic is somewhat Titanic-esque. She is driven to almost unrealistic hype before her maiden voyage and is touted as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Similar to the Titanic, her first trip ends in disaster, only she is in space. Instead of hitting an iceberg and sinking, she simply disappears. She is deemed lost forever, until the Venus Observatory identifies a call for rescue in a distant nebula and identifies the signal as that of the Majestic. You will be in charge

of investigating.

Here is where the game starts to get fun and challenging. You will find the wreck of the Majestic and will be able to use and control four different exploratory nodes to search for clues, remains and survivors. You control all of them from your shuttle, which is fast paced multi tasking bit of fun. They flit around and dart from place to place, and by striking buttons in your control shuttle, you can switch your view from node to node, effectively moving from map to map within the game. You are not required to use multiple nodes if you don’t want to, but if you choose to, only one is allowed in a single location. Each node features a computer, a scanner, a grappling arm and a simple cutting torch. You will also control assignments on these features from the shuttle. Sometimes the node will locate a computer program at specific sites. Uploading them to your system will allow you to perform unique tasks with that node, likely necessary for solving puzzles in that area.

The puzzles you find are odd and mysterious, possibly to reflect the theme of the game. It is more mental than inventory based, making for a refreshing change. It is an interesting play that should be given a one time go.

Game Review 2 (written by Omega2287) Added on: 11/19/2006
Majestic is a short, sci-fi mystery game which takes you for a confusing, but interesting plot twist. The games is based sometime in the not too distant future. You are in command of a scientific research vessel, sent out to investigate the whereabouts of the missing RMS Majestic, which was the luxury space cruise ship of the time. Supposedly, this ship was abandoned by its crew, leaving behind its captain and several passengers. It then becomes your job to find out what happened to Majestic and the crew members, who stayed behind. In order to explore Majestic, there are four probes at your disposal. These probes are equipped with computer uplinks, sensors, and torches.

This game had so much potential but did not make it big in the market. This short lived game is a must have for any of you who love mystery movies as well as sci-fi shows or movies, such as Star Wars or Star Trek. You'll really appreciate this game if you love Star Trek, and have some interest in the Titanic disaster. The game gives you a feeling of exploring the corridors of this supposedly abandoned vessel, very much as you would if one was exploring the remains of Titanic. Throughout the game, one will be faced with the challenge of solving riddles, left behind by one of the surviving passengers in order to progress in the storyline. This game is not for the average Joe. I must admit, the solutions of these puzzles took me hours upon hours in order to solve them. Several are multi-faceted, making the game much more complex than it first appears.

The controls of this game are pretty simple. It is a basic point and click kind of game. There is some option to dialogue and some parts, where you have to type answers in. It takes a couple of clicks to get the hang of the game controls. Nothing too hard.

In conclusion, this game is a decent play if you have a couple hours to spare. Don't get discouraged if you can't get some of the riddles or puzzles on your first fifty tries, you will get it eventually. Like all adventure games, trial and error will eventually work. The key to this game is to over analyze any small detail that doesn't seem important or relevant.

My opinion? Give the game a try. Patience is a virtue. Attention to detail is keen. Enjoy!
