Welcome to the Unofficial GAG Playthrough, fellow adventurers. Meet Gary Tusker, your neighborly Peeping Tom, made impotent by a mean little penguin. Let’s give Gary a helping hand, shall we?
GAG was developed by the Russian company Auric Vision. Actually, there are 3 versions: Russian 16+, Russian 18+, and English 16+ which is the one we’re going to tackle, so you’ll be quite safe.
The Russian 18+ version is soft porn. Really soft. Yes, I’ve played it... nudity but not a man in sight.
To the best of my knowledge, the English version was unfortunately published only in the Netherlands. It comes with a Dutch manual and a Dutch walkthrough in a Dutch box.
The
manual. Black-and-white. It consists of 5 or 6 pages of instructions and 16 pages of a fake and humorous
Making of section. Years ago, the Auric Vision site was still active. I remember reading the English
Making of GAG posted there, in color too. I wish I’d saved it, sorry. You don’t really need the instructions, it is all simple and straightforward. And there’s also the Help button in the start menu.
The
walkthrough. Black-and-white. Terrible translation, you don’t miss anything if you don’t speak Dutch. Need a hint? Just ask. Or consult the walkthrough at JA.
There are a couple of
minigames which involve dexterity. Hey, where are you going? Come back! You can play them in easy mode and they’re not hard anyway.
Except the
Gagboy tetris minigame, which is fun but tricky. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, let me put your mind at ease: I beat Gagboy and I still have a savegame somewhere if anybody needs it.
Very Important Warning: Due to a bug you cannot play Gagboy on CD 1 (= Gary’s apartment), so don’t try.
Starting now, you have one week till Monday July 18 to explore Gary’s apartment and gain access to the castle. You’ll know you’ve made it to the castle grounds when the game wants you to change to CD 2.
Click on everything you can click on and have fun!
