Reception to the games was negative, both on release and in retrospectives. Publications such as Computer Gaming World have called it one of the worst video games of all time. GameplayIsle of the Dead is a first-person shooter and point-and-click adventure game where the player is the lone survivor of a plane wreck on a mysterious tropical island, teeming with flesh-eating zombies under the control of an evil mad scientist.[1] After retrieving items from the wreckage, the player can explore the beach and move further inland by hacking at the undergrowth with a machete.[1]Quitting the game causes the player to commit suicide by shooting themselves in the head.[2] Development and releaseIsle of the Dead was developed by Rainmaker Software and published by Merit Software. The game's concept and design was created by A. Sean Glaspell, programmed by Bruce J. Mack and Bryan Kelsch, featured art by Myk Friedman.[1] The music was by Scott "The Skinny Man" Loehr. The game was originally intended to be a hack-and-slash game. Programmer Bryan Kelsch disliked games giving you tasks with reasons to do them. Because of this, the programming teams added a script with narrative hooks in it to turn it into a "good hack and slash games, but with a strong plot."[5] The developer also intended the game to have the feel of horror pulp comics. A minicomic was included with the game.[5] It was later showed at the 1993 Consumer Electronics Show.[3] Isle of the Dead had two releases; each was slightly different from the other and had different box art. The first release had box art of a skull with decomposing flesh emerging out of the water near an island with words under it reading "Isle of the Dead". The second release's box features a man holding a shotgun standing next to a woman near a crashed airplane. A port for the Atari Jaguar CD was in development but never released.[4][5] Reception{{Video game reviews| Dragon = {{rating|0|5}}[6] | rev1 = Electronic Games | rev1Score = 84%[7] | rev2 = PC Joker | rev2Score = 38%[8] | rev3 = Pelit | rev3Score = 13/100[9] }} Previewing the game at the Consumer Electronics Show, Computer Gaming World, while not impressed with that game graphically, thought that it made up for it with its "enthusiasm, gore, and the spicy addition of a little gratuitous T&A."[3] Upon its initial release, Isle of the Dead received negative reviews from reviewers. Reviewers compared the game to Wolfenstein 3D.[6][1][17] Sandy Petersen for Dragon in their "Eye of the Monitor" column gave the game zero out of five stars in the magazine's rating scale, advising readers to avoid playing the game.[6] Peter Olafson at Compute!, while negative towards its graphics, compared its mood to EC Comics horror magazines.[1] Chris Lombardi for Computer Gaming World argued the game was designed to be campy, but otherwise described it as being the worst they have ever seen in adventure games and games with 3D graphics.[10] In their 15th anniversary issue, Computer Gaming World rated Isle of the Dead the 32nd worst game of all time, noting its "crude graphics, weak sound, and a weak 3D engine."[11] {{quote box|align=right|width=33%|You don't play this shooter for fun. You play for penitence.|source= —PC Gamer's Richard Corbett on Isle of the Dead.[22]}}Retrospective reviews for Isle of the Dead were also negative towards the game. Kurt Kalata from Hardcore Gaming 101 said that Rainmaker Software took the worst elements of point-and-click adventures and first-person shooters and turned them into "an overtly shlocky mess", criticizing the lack of feedback when taking damage and the death animations throughout the game.[12] PC Gamer's Richard Cobbett, in his "Saturday Crapshoot" column, criticized its structure and the in-game map for being unhelpful.[13] Corbett would later call it one of the weirdest shooters of the 1990s.[14] Adam Smith from Rock, Paper, Shotgun called it one of the worst games he ever played.[15] References1. ^1 2 {{cite magazine|title=Isle of the Dead (Software Review)|last=Olafson|first=Peter|magazine=Compute!|issue=166|date=July 1994|page=115|url=https://archive.org/stream/1994-07-compute-magazine/Compute_Issue_166_1994_Jul#page/n115/mode/2up}} 2. ^{{cite magazine|magazine=Electronic Entertainment|title=The Gross, the Rude, and the Ugly|last=Thumblister|first=Victor|pages=61-62|issue=5|date=May 1994|url=https://archive.org/details/ElectronicEntertainment05May1994/page/n63}} 3. ^1 {{cite magazine|magazine=Computer Gaming World|title=CES Report Part II|author=CGW Staff|pages=18-27|date=September 1993|issue=110|url=https://archive.org/details/Computer_Gaming_World_Issue_110/page/n19}} 4. ^{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/stream/Edge_UK_020#page/n13/mode/2up|title=News - Jaguar Plugs into the CD revolution - Jaguar CD games in development|magazine=Edge|issue=20|date=May 1995|pages=14–15}} 5. ^{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/stream/nextgen-issue-006/Next_Generation_Issue_006_June_1995#page/n19|title=Breaking - Jaguar Plugs into the CD revolution - Jaguar CD games in development|magazine=Next Generation|issue=6|publisher=Imagine Media|date=June 1995|pages=18–19}} 6. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite magazine|title=Eye of the Monitor|last=Petersen|first=Sandy|author-link=Sandy Petersen|magazine=Dragon|issue=206|date=June 1994|pages=58–59|url=https://annarchive.com/files/Drmg206.pdf|access-date=2017-08-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160322001554/http://annarchive.com/files/Drmg206.pdf|archive-date=2016-03-22|dead-url=no|df=}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite magazine|magazine=Electronic Games|last=Dillie|first=Ed|title=Isle of the Dead: Get Your Ghoulish Giggles Here|page=81|volume=2|issue=6|date=March 1994|url=https://archive.org/details/Electronic-Games-1994-03/page/n79}} 8. ^{{cite magazine|last=Magenauer|first=Max|url=https://www.kultboy.com/index.php?site=t&id=2055|title=Isle of the Dead|magazine=PC Joker|issue=29|publisher=Joker-Verlag|date=February 1995|page=|lang=de|access-date=2019-01-14}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.pelit.fi/artikkelit/isle-of-the-dead/|title=Isle of The Dead – Aivokuolleiden saari|last=Salminen|first=Tapio|work=Pelit|publisher=Fokus Media Finland|language=Finnish|date=March 1, 1994|accessdate=August 28, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829013826/https://www.pelit.fi/artikkelit/isle-of-the-dead/|archive-date=2017-08-29|dead-url=no|df=}} 10. ^{{cite magazine|magazine=Computer Gaming World|last=Lombardi|first=Chris|publisher=Ziff Davis|issue=124|pages=102–114|date=November 1994|title=Doom Toos|url=https://archive.org/details/Computer_Gaming_World_Issue_124/page/n113}} 11. ^{{cite magazine|magazine=Computer Gaming World|publisher=Ziff Davis|issue=148|page=94|date=November 1996|title=50 Worst Games of All Time|url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/issues/cgw_148.pdf|access-date=2017-08-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130511185822/http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/issues/cgw_148.pdf|archive-date=2013-05-11|dead-url=no|df=}} 12. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/isle-of-the-dead/|title=Your Weekly Kusoge: Isle of the Dead|last=Kalata|first=Kurt|publisher=Hardcore Gaming 101|date=August 28, 2011|accessdate=August 24, 2017}} 13. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.pcgamer.com/saturday-crapshoot-isle-of-the-dead/|title=Saturday Crapshoot: Isle Of The Dead|last=Corbett|first=Richard|work=PC Gamer|publisher=Future plc|date=March 23, 2013|accessdate=August 24, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825104002/http://www.pcgamer.com/saturday-crapshoot-isle-of-the-dead/|archive-date=2017-08-25|dead-url=no|df=}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pcgamer.com/the-weirdest-shooters-of-the-90s/|title=The weirdest shooters of the '90s|last=Corbett|first=Richard|work=PC Gamer|publisher=Future plc|date=August 23, 2013|accessdate=August 24, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170825103620/http://www.pcgamer.com/the-weirdest-shooters-of-the-90s/|archive-date=2017-08-25|dead-url=no|df=}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/06/04/isle-of-the-dead-pc-game/|title=Have You Played ...
