Solomon's Key? 
Close, but no cigar.
This game is kind of obscure. So obscure, that simply putting its name into Google, doesn't yield any results unless I append "game" to the search.

Caren and the Tangled Tentacles.

You'll have to give me a moment to think of something for my turn.

Edit:
Ok, thought of somehing.

Indeed, it's LBA2. :D And yes, I fell in love with the game the moment I played the demo version from one of my countless shareware CDs...
Hey, I played a demo of it on a shareware CD too!
It wasn't until many MANY years later, when I finally got to play the full version. I never saw it in shops you see. (Probably because by the time I got that shareware CD, the game was way too old.)

I still have that shareware CD too. It also had a demo of Dungeon Keeper on it, and cultivated my love of that game as well. Thankfully I managed to find Dungeon Keeper in a shop.
Ah good times.  :-D

LBA2
I just adore the aesthetics of Little Big Adventure 2. Something about the engine and how it pre-renders the background whenever the camera moves, is just beautiful to me.

That's the sort of thing that sounds funny on paper, but would get decidedly less funny once someone inevitably gets a heart attack.
Well it is a horror movie... not a particularly scary horror movie, but you get my point.  (laugh)

Guess what, most DLC is NOT carved out.
Correct. A lot of content in games, wouldn't exist without DLC. A very good example I think, is the uncensored Ransome in Thimbleweed Park.
That being said, content is still carved out for some DLC. And if DLC wasn't popular, that content would never be carved out.
So in other words, I'm complaining about how other people have ruined my gaming experience by making DLC popular by buying it all the time. I'd like to reiterate my example of Tira in Soul Calibur VI.
That being said, I can completely understand if someone thinks that the extra content you can get from DLC outweighs any games that might carve out content for DLC. I'm just not one of those people.

DON'T BUY DLC!
U wot mate? If I like a game I want more of it.
If I like a game, I don't want content carved out and sold to me.
Sure not all DLC is carved out, but enough of it is that by buying DLC, you're promoting the practice.

Tira was carved out of Soul Calibur VI because of people like you constantly buying DLC!

What do you guys think about Pre-Ordering games?
My personal opinion, is why would you buy something that doesn't exist yet, when you can just buy it when it DOES exist?
I suppose I can kind of understand when there's bonuses involved, when there's a discount, or when there's a chance that they'll run out of stock.
But in video games, the preorder bonuses are terrible, preorder discounts are practically non-existent, and they're never at risk of running out of stock. So what's the point?

By preordering, all you're doing is funding a terrible business practice, where companies don't even have to finish or put effort into making games, because everyone has already bought them.

I remember someone who preordered Fallout 76. Now back then I thought it was going to end up being a good game. But I still thought he was an idiot to have preordered it! And now he regrets having done so.
So in short, no.
DON'T PREORDER!
DON'T BUY DLC!
DON'T PAY FOR MICROTRANSACTIONS!
DON'T BUY COLLECTOR EDITIONS!
If you do one or more of these things, you're helping promote bad business practices.  (nod)
After all, with how things are going, it won't be long until we get actual commercials that you have to sit through in AAA games. (I'm being serious here.)

I think it's a game called 'Sparks'?
You're close. Almost close enough for me to say you got it. But what you've said is the equivalent of calling "Alone in the Dark" simply "Alone".
Come back with the full correct title, and you'll have it. :D

Isn't that the woman who plays The Master in Doctor Who?
Close. Michelle Gomez actually played Missy.
Just because she changed her name, doesn't mean I'm going to use it.
I still call Eggman "Robotnik".  (laugh)
