I used to play this as a kid with my little sister. She couldn't figure out some of the puzzles but really liked the game. This was aroun 2000/01, sor she was 4/5 and I was 10/11. So I would play the game, while she watched. I don'r remeber too much of the game, just vague parts. I remember an FPS section and that the teacher who is an alien is randomised.
Great fun, suspense and action and storytelling for 90s kids. 9 year old me loved to play this but i recall all the frustration with troubleshooting all the glitchiness. Reminds me slightly of Nancy Drew games but more action based.

Halo 3
Halo 3Halo 3 is a shooter game where players primarily experience gameplay from a first-person perspective. Much of the gameplay takes place on foot, but also includes segments focused on vehicular combat. The balance of weapons and objects in the game was adjusted to better adhere to the "Golden Triangle of Halo": these are weapons, grenades, and melee attacks, which are available to a player in most situations. Players may dual-wield some weapons, forgoing the use of grenades and melee attacks in favor of the combined firepower of two weapons. Many weapons available in previous installments of the series return with minor cosmetic and power alterations. Unlike previous installments, the player's secondary weapon is visible on their player model, holstered or slung across the player's back. Halo 3 introduces "support weapons", which are cumbersome two-handed weapons that slow the player, but offer greatly increased firepower in return. In addition to weapons, the game contains a new class of gear called equipment; these items have various effects, ranging from defensive screens to shield regeneration and flares. Only one piece of equipment can be carried at a time. The game's vehicular component has been expanded with new drivable and AI-only vehicles.
