Zork: Grand Inquisitor
I'm not really sure how to start this, but I guess I will start like a fan-girl: Pewdiepie I love your videos so much and spend hours just watching. I really like that you have branched from just horror games to ones that are funny and stuff too, that's why I think this game would be great to see you play! There aren't many Let's Plays of this game and all I can think of when I am searching for it on YouTube is "I would love to watch Pewdie play and fall in love with this game like I did!"
A little about it: The game was developed by Activision and released in 1997 for PC and Mac, so it kind of a veteran of its time. It is an adventure point and click game with a lot of interaction (though it is point and click you are able to do full 360's in your surroundings and in some places up and down is restricted.) and sense of urgency (even frustrating at times, but still fun) puzzles. What I love most is the comedy element in it and the use of real cut scenes and in-game graphics throughout the game. I can remember spending hours as a small kid watching my Dad play the game well into the night and enjoying every minute of it, and I feel like it might be something you would love.
I'll leave the wiki link below for some more in-depth information:

I know it is pretty expensive for an old game, but trust me it is worth it. The reviews on Amazon are also worth a read if you are still not sure!
I hope this has got across how awesome and fun this game could be for you and that you consider playing it. I think a lot of people would love to watch it and be surprised at how amazing a game 16 years old can be!
I look forward to potentially seeing this float up on your channel one day.

The storyline: Zork has been conquered by a failed former wizard with
MDD (Magic Deficit Disorder). This Grand Inquisitioner (tyrant) is
hand-in-glove with the Frobozz Electric Company, and is using force to
replace all magic with Frobozz technology. The game takes you on a
fantasy quest-adventure in the famous Underground Empire. Your
mission: to restore magic to all of Zork.
Pros:
1. Highly inspired zaniness of the best kind. A six-armed, invisible monster
with an Irish accent. A walking castle that whistles "Tiptoe Through
the Tulips." A way to lose the game that exiles you to New Jersey.
2. Colorful, archaic, fantasty-land-type graphics. Journeys through
time and through the looking glass. A spell system that reverses
itself, with hilarious results.
3. Some unique ways to die and to be transformed. An opportunity to become something akin to a
paperweight, or perhaps an ash tray. A chance to find Love in a
bottomless pit.
Cons:
1. If you don't turn the text option on, you're likely to miss some of the funniest wisecracks in the game.
(To do this, click at the top of the screen on Prefs, then flip the
Captions switch to "On.")
2. A very cynical view of the phone company.
Bottom Line: A delightful place to adventure, loaded with crazy characters
and some fun, wacky puzzles. You need not have played any previous
Zork games in order to have a grand time with this one.
I hope this has got across how awesome and fun this game could be for you and that you consider playing it. I think a lot of people would love to watch it and be surprised at how amazing a game 16 years old can be!
I look forward to potentially seeing this float up on your channel one day.
