Monkey Island was a great game...I haven't played it in so long though! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Its ok, I won't be offended =) I liked Day Of The Tentacle, an ingenius plot, the way you go backwards and forwards. |
||||||||
|

Me neither. But it was cool anyway. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i played 1 and 2 too. yea the games were a bit surreal...the spaced out graphics, good music, mysterious story lines and characters created an original atmosphere...i'm definately gonna play lba 1 again. |
||||||||
|
|

Jackaranda Jim - Old text adventure. Brilliant, you must download it! (It's shareware) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
why play action games when u can play wipeout? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
because its bloody impossible |

Zork was the game that always confused the hell out of me. I think the only one me ever actually had on our family computer was Beyond Zork where it seemed you;d just wander forever and get beat up alot till you were dead. I was a Sierra kid, grew up on King;s Space Quest games and even beat Leasure Suit Larry I when it was still kinda new. |

lucasarts are the masters |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yeah there were a lot of rather dodgy adventure games, some it seemed without any boundaries, i.e. if you decided to go in one direction for an hour into nothingness, you'd spend another hour coming back or end up having to start again i used to like ant attack though precisely for that reason |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Yeah, Twinsun's Odyssey was one of my favorite games as a young lad. I also really liked King's Quest 5 and 6... All the mid-era Lucas Arts adventure games(Sam & Max, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, The Dig,..)too. I never liked the Space Quest series because your character (Roger Wilco) was a complete loser. I play games to get away from real life, not to remind me of it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ant Attack, man that was great! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Indiana Jones! |

lucasarts rule! monkey island 1 & 2 and indy iv are all 1000%. and michael z. land is king. anybody noticed that the music in lucasarts amiga games are much better than in the pc (midi) versions? try downloading them and compare.. if you want to play all those classic lucas games on your modern computer, check out .. it's so so nice. |

|
|
where can these lucasarts games be downloaded? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the ultimate in adventure games.... The Hobbit! fuck, what was that like? you waited what seemed like an hour waiting for it to download. then confronted with a shitty parser which never understood anything you typed in. apart from go north - which was followed by a quick death for no apparent reason. the 1st 48k game if my memory serves me correctly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't know there was a hobbit game... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1983 i think |

scummVM is just an interpreter, you'll need the data files from some other source. there are pleny of sites on the net if you search google. or if you want to stay legit, you can get lucasarts classics packages at your local computer store |

geez...the year i was born. hehe. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
.. ya think there's some sort of fanatical coorelation between idm and adventure games? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes there is. similarly, there is one between idm and people who bought their own lunch to school. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i did that as well. did you guys as well make it through at least 2 decades of life having never interacted in any way with a female, other than your mother? err.. nevermind. |

I used to have a text-adventure version of "the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" on my hyper-knackered old pc when i was about 8. I think i was condemned to geekdom from then on. |
||||||||

thats online somewhere, it's been posted before |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had that too. has anyone played the text-adventure game "A mind forever voyaging" that game changed my fucking life, as pathetic as that may sound.. it was by the same company as "hitchhiker's...." , infocom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't make me search that shit out again. It was bad enough the first time round, i completed it a stupid amount of times without ever having heard of the book. I had another text adventure called "leather gods of phobos" on there too. Only now am i beginning to unravel the many layers of filth contained in that game. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm old skool, i preferred the choose your own adventure books |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"you are a millionaire" or "you are a genius" those were good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hah! I read those as well, there was a craze on them when i was at primary school. I remember some dude called christopher (?) livingstone wrote a load of them or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ken livingstone & steve jackson did the more popular role-playing books, warlock of firetop mountain, citadel of chaos, & starshop something or other. i liked the smaller white books myself, some of them were quite bizarre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i remember being banned from using those on book reports. it must've been too entertaining for the children. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
those really must've been a pain to write. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wonder if those are still floating around my house. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've lost mine :( i will make an attempt to buy some back at some point, they were great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They had some nice hatching-type illustrations. i remember trying to write one of those kind of books with a friend when i was about twelve, but we got tired of writing since we made way too many choices, and my friend just eventually set every ending to "You fall onto a knife and die. The end." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think lots of people had a go at writing text adventures. the problem was then you had to get someone to play it! fortunately i had my brother to try all my little games on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ken livingstone, that was it. I've still got a couple of these weird post-apocalyptic choose-your-own-adventure type books in a sort of gothic mad max vein, revolving mainly around very bloody violence and acquiring guns. I forget who they're by. Looking back, i suppose their target market was kids who've grown out of rubbish magic spells and into wanting to shoot things. |
