Looking for adventure game posters
 
I recently moved to a new house, where I have a small gaming room for my old computers and my adventures. I thought it would be nice to put up some posters on the walls. So far I have Riven, Daedalus Encounter, Lure of the Temptress and King's Quest VII. I'm trying to get hold of posters of Indiana Jones, Wonderland (Magnetic Scrolls), and a real nice one of Obsidian I discovered only yesterday: "Your rules don't apply here". ;)

All suggestions are welcome!

PS: I know there's a Kyrandia 1 poster out there which is easy to find, but I think it's very ugly.

Would it be too much to ask if I could s ee what this KQ6 poster looks like?

KQ seven, not six. Box art. All of the posters I mentioned are identical to the box, although Obsidian is the much nicer Australian box, except Riven (screenshot of the golden dome on one side, maps of the islands on the other).

PS: Wouldn't it be great I could hang a big Last Express poster on my wall... or Full Throttle... or the Neverhood... I think there are Neverhood postcards around

I have a big Indiana Jones: Fate of the Atlantis poster, but I'm never selling it to anyone. :)

The FoA poster is actually not hard to find. And I'm not asking anyone to SELL me anything. Just curious if they know of other adventure game posters.

You could always make your own... There's a program online called the Rasterbator, that allows you to convert images into large rasterated posters. Basically, it comes out as just little dots that when put together look like the image you inputted.

The artwork for Monkey Island 1 was gorgeous. I still have the box even though the discs have long since corrupted. The front cover would make a brilliant poster.

I'd really like to buy a lot of posters, if I could find any ever. :)
Yeah, FoA is the only poster that is relatively easy to find.

I have a poster of Prisoner of Ice. I'll take a pic if anyone wants to see it.

Ooooooh! Great idea, thanks. I had a look at the Rasterbator, it's so easy that even I can do it. I could literally immerse myself in Riven, imagine that...:9

You've piqued my interest now. Where is it easy to find? Ebay? How much does it tend to sell for? :)

German ebay. The poster comes standard with the German version, so you'd have to buy the entire game. Example: ebay #8829356974. Not very expensive. Problem for most American buyers (and British as well) is the method of payment though. You'd have to wait for a seller with a PayPal account.

Pic's a bit large.

Nice poster!

Gonchi 06-17-2006 07:32 AM

I'm certain other games I've purchased have come with posters, but I don't think they were adventure games (Harbinger I'm certain included a poster).

I'll check next time I dust my games and tell you if I find any others.

Keep searching on eBay that is your best bet. I just got a Maniac Mansion poster with the original box art, fair enough it cost me $100 but it sure is worth it. I will scan it next weekend and post it up on my site so you can grab it if you like.

Fien 06-18-2006 02:49 PM

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. ;)

PS: Gonchi, there's Dutch text on your poster ("top secret"). Did it come with the Dutch version of the game?

Gonchi 06-18-2006 08:51 PM

Hmm... Could be, although as far as I'm concerned this is the UK release (game+box+manual are all in english). I purchased it in Australia, if that's of any help.

EDIT: Wait, do you mean the writing on the crate that says "Streng Geheim"? I thought that was Norwegian...
