CVG To-do:

I question wither some of the information present in this article should instead be in the games own articles and not under the general header of series. This page is disorganzied and will become even more so if Atari intends to reinvent the franchise once again. I'm going to suggest moving the new nightmare spefic info to the new nightmare page, and possibly creating an orginal trilogy page. I dunno, I'm new to this process and open to suggestions.

Is there a demo version of this game series ?

there is a demo for the first alone in the dark (DOS) game at download.com

[edit] No rendered backgrounds

Alone in the Dark 1 and 2 (at least) do not have rendered computer backgrounds - they have all been drawn by hand. The article is wrong at this point. --Abdull 19:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

--3rd one features hand drawn backgrounds as well and come to think of it, new nightmare, while having a completely different engine, still uses drawn backgrounds instead of rendering them in 3d.

The original trilogy backgrounds were made by hand painting over a wireframe render of the background. I'll try to write something about it as I have some first material on this. yaz0r 08:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] contradictions in the movie

What part of the movie contradicts the latest game?

---Almost every part of it, it depicts the Abkanis as an evil race, they depict the shadows as corporeal beings 100% of time, the characters are in a city, they are not 'alone', not in the 'dark', they close the Door by themselves(remember Edenshaw, the abkani), there is no Obed or Alan Morton who try to unleash the shadows, etc.189.136.141.217 03:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC) Cthulhu
