I don't know, as I've never played it. I've wanted to check it out since I first saw the "making of" film packaged with KQ7, though. I bought it, so we'll see.

Quite simply, no.

Does that mean you agree that the sequel was rubbish? I haven't played that one either, which is why I'm curious in case I ever seek it out.

They are both rubbish in their own ways, but the first one isn't AS bad. They are from the worst era in gaming...the dreaded FMV games.
The sequel was like a bad episode of Garth Marenghi's Dark Places.

Williams is aware of the complaints filed by the core adventure game crowd, but she believes the reason for their disappointment was not due to Phantasmagoria being a poor gaming experience, but rather the adventure crowd not understanding that, quite simply, the game wasn't made for them.

Shouldn't that be in Bargain Deals?

No. IMHO, they were horrible. And 'pretty good'? Sounds like an excuse for a mediocre game...
And one game doesn't excuse an entire genre.
