Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m obsessed with FMV games. Like… obsessed. Wales Interactive has provided me many, many hours of amusement, thoughtfulness, and action through the FMV games it’s developed/published. Especially its interactive films.

Back in the early to mid ’90s, I was obsessed with educational games. Platformers? Nah. Shooters? Nah. Just let me learn! Some of my favourite games included the Carmen Sandiego series, Super Seekers games like Treasure Mountain! and Treasure Mathstorm!, The Oregon Trail, and Operation Neptune. That’s a pretty wide…
