Adventure game scene... uh, game - Page 220

Torin's Passage?

GarageGothic · 05-15-2009, 09:33 AM

Good guess, but no. I definitely see the resemblance though, Torin's Passage would also have been my first guess.

Jadefalcon · 05-16-2009, 12:04 PM

It's not Kings Quest VII is it?

GarageGothic · 05-16-2009, 12:17 PM

No, I'm afraid not. Don't be fooled by the size of the image, I resized it for clarity (didn't use image size tags to avoid Firefox 3's blur "feature"). The original game resolution is 320x200.

Jadefalcon · 05-16-2009, 12:53 PM

It was more the graphical style I was thinking in. It's not Legend of Kyrandia is it?

GarageGothic · 05-16-2009, 01:11 PM

No, not Kyrandia either.

The crystal ball looks like the tram from The Dig lol.

GarageGothic · 05-16-2009, 01:53 PM

Haha, yes it does look a lot like the tram, hadn't thought about that.

This screenshot seems to be a tough nut to crack, no doubt because the cutscene style is so different from the rest of the game. So here's a bit of context (once again resized so you won't need a magnifying glass):

AndreaDraco83 · 05-17-2009, 02:23 AM

King's Quest 5?

GarageGothic · 05-17-2009, 03:47 AM

Nope!

Shany · 05-17-2009, 08:23 AM

Eternam?

SuperEdy · 05-17-2009, 10:58 AM

It's Shadow of the Comet

GarageGothic · 05-17-2009, 02:15 PM

Yup, you've got it, SuperEdy. Good work! It is indeed from Shadow of the Comet, one of my favorite "bad" games (most of the puzzles are horrible, but Lovecraftian games are so rare and this one really captures the atmosphere of his stories).

Here's the full screenshot the second image was taken from:

Eternam wasn't a bad guess either considering it was also made by Infogrames, and - if I'm not mistaken - used the same engine, at least for the third person sections.

Dreamfall.

Of course

Trunkyo · 05-18-2009, 06:53 AM

Fantsie's next pic will be from either Dark Fall, Dark Fall II, The Lost Crown or Barrow Hill.

Uncle Trunk, you wound me...

The Doctor · 05-19-2009, 01:57 AM

That looks distinctly Myst-like - the Uru live thingy?

*Fantasysci5* · 05-19-2009, 01:14 PM

Man, you're too good. Either that, or I post really easy pictures. lol Yes, it's from Uru.
