Adventure Game Scene of the Day - Fri 9th June
I'm so happy to be now able to replay this one under WinXP. Lots of great characters, and great lines (and some of the most deviously difficult puzzles ever).

Bah, who cares about stable releases? Start playing now. (Well, that is, in a couple of days, when you're done converting the videos. )

Interesting looking game.
I just went to a local video game rental place for the first time in about two years. They still have a lot of old classic games there, it's really awesome. Anyway, I saw this one there... think I'll definately check it out when I've got some cash.

Not like them!
|
And this is what game?
By the way, wouldn't it make more sense if the person who puts the screenshot also names the game? You know, for us idiots who haven't played so many of these. |

It's The Feeble Files, otherwise known as "that other Adventure Soft game".
There's been some discussion in the past over whether the names should be stated; some people (like myself) normally put it in the post, but others like the challenge of guessing. |

And the conversion process is long (took several hours on my machine) and requires several Gb of space for the temp files. So you could at least get started on that.

As far as I understand, no (I don't think AdventureSoft gave them the permission; what's more, we're talking about 1 Gb worth of files here, which wouldn't be all that practical to download (and to host)).
