I loved Isabelle, I experienced the game as emotional and touching. Search the Adventure forum for "Isabelle" and you'll see I've defended it countless times. I honestly don't understand how any reviewer could give it only half a star, like AG did.

Yes, Steve Ramsey loves Isabelle too. The two of us should start a fan club. It's a kind of running gag that he's the only one who always votes for Isabelle at the Gameboomers Annual Game List.

He definitely didn't like GAG as much as you do.

Well, yes, but he gave GAG three stars although he used to be very stingy with those. I think he only once gave a game five stars and very rarely he splurged with four stars.

BTW, S. Ramsey also used to play adventures together with his daughter .

Thanks, zobraks!

The reason I know this is because I am actually still playing the game (unlike a certain someone ) and this segment of the game is where I left off! It boggles my mind wondering how in the world (pun intended) Oliver is going to reach Yokohama from Bombay by train!

Edit - Here's the new pic:

That makes me think of Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, but that's action, not adventure. Mm, we're way overdue for a new Indy adventure game ...

Yes, right again zobraks. (Let me guess, you haven't played this game either??? ) This pic is from the New Orleans section of the game. (The sign above the door means "music", take it from me, a sneaky 'Chinaman'. )

You got it! Now imagine how good I would be in guessing screenshots if I'd played more AGs .

Yeah, I recognised the way street and buildings are rendered. Seriously.

Something about the colours and textures reminds me of Slip Space: The Burma-Shave Analogy.

I think it might be Astronomica: Quest for the Edge of the Universe.
