Welcome to the forum.

I don't think this game was ever released in English, unfortunately.

mac · 10-25-2005, 11:31 AM

Thanks Fav
i read that it was released in some countries, that's why am asking about it.

any way thanks for replaying

kelmer · 10-25-2005, 11:34 AM

As far as I know, the game was released only in Spain and Italy (in Italian), given that its actual publisher (FX Interactive) opened offices there some time ago.

You can get the game in both these countries easily (it's almost everywhere here), for a very low price.

***fov*** · 10-25-2005, 11:38 AM

Do either of those versions include English subtitles? (I'm guessing not.

)

kelmer · 10-25-2005, 11:39 AM

Nope.

I think there was a beta version with English subtitles around, but it wasn't even a complete translation, some parts were missing, and some parts were still in Spanish.

mac · 10-25-2005, 12:03 PM

Hi kelmer
i want the beta version

do u know where can i find it ?

***fov*** · 10-25-2005, 12:07 PM

An unofficial release like that would be illegal to download, so we can't allow any links to be posted here. Sorry about that.

kelmer · 10-25-2005, 12:07 PM

Didn't have it, anyway.

mac · 10-25-2005, 12:11 PM

sorry
but i want to buy it not to download.
thanks

***fov*** · 10-25-2005, 12:18 PM

It would be illegal to buy, too.

It was never officially released by the developers.

Kelmer, out of curiosity, have you played the game in Spanish? If yes, how did you like it? I've heard it's not as good as Runaway, but decent.

kelmer · 10-25-2005, 01:03 PM

Well... to be honest, it's not bad, but certainly not such good a game.

It's DAMN difficult. Some of the puzzle flaws and playability issues that were present on Runaway were ubiquitous in Hollywood Monsters: some illogical puzzles, object combinations that work only and strictly when developers want them to (i.e. some annoying linearity issues in a pseudo-non-linear environment), weak dialogue trying hard (and uselessly) to be funny, and two main characters with no appeal at all.

On the other hand, the art is fine (although with noticeable photoshop coloring), the story is something original, the voice actors weren't really that bad, and it had the unique feeling of the old adventure games, which is probably why it's so demanded in the adventure community.

I played it long ago though, I guess I'll have to play it again to refresh my memory.

mac · 10-25-2005, 03:16 PM

i'll play it in a spanish version and try it.
does any one know feeble files ?

Fien · 10-26-2005, 01:38 AM

The Feeble Files is one of my favorites. Good game, hard puzzles, some extremely hard. Very funny, but with a cruel streak. First-class voiceacting. And no complaints about the length of the game.

A pity that it takes little Feeble such a long time to cross the screen. And you can't skip cut-scenes.

And it doesn't play on XP.
