Several Cryo Interactive Entertainment adventure games have been republished over the years on both Steam and GOG. One of the outliers is the 1994 game Commander Blood, which is exclusive to the ZOOM Platform:

I’ve never played it, but I do like the unique art style they went for. The French have always expertly produced eye-catching graphics. Has anyone on here got opinions about the gameplay itself? Also do you think most people even know ZOOM Platform exists?

Never heard of this... it looks wild. It sounds wild.

Yep. Crazy cool stuff with just a dash of 'je ne sais quoi'.

There is no definitive answer to your question.

Played it back in the 90s and loved it, but like many other French experimental games it's a strong case of acquired taste.

Interesting! I never heard of the Zoom Platform until now, and never played Commander Blood back then.
I did however have a soft spot for Cryo’s «Lost Eden» which was released around the same time (1994-95).

I never tried the Dragon Lore games either, and they do look sort of ridiculous from the few snippets I've seen, but there’s still something intriguing about them and the whole look and feel of these Cryo games. Maybe I’ll have a go at some of them now Big Grin
