adventuring to look forward to......

scribeswindow · 11-21-2006, 08:57 PM

Well it's that time of year again, and I've now officially finished uni for the year. In fact I've just completed my degree

Now is when I start playing all my adventure games. My list so far (in order of how they will be played) is:

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars
Sherlock Holmes: The silver earring
Nancy Drew: Last train to blue moon canyon
Dreamfall
Secret Files: Tunguska

Have started Broken Sword. Can't wait to get into them all.

Hey, congrats on the degree! Well done.

That list should keep you going for a while. By the time you finish all those, there will be new games out and you'll be no farther ahead.

Thanks Jackal

Really happy it's over and done with. A little sad too. But got lots of games to keep me busy.

I just finished my Commerce degree too. What did you study?

I too am playing Broken Sword.

Broken Sword 3, though.

I'm also getting my degree in dec 2006. (A M.Sc. in Information Technology). I do however wonder how you get the time to play games when work will be there competing for you waking time?

During my degree I only played games during semester break and the summer. There's no way I could complete a degree whilst playing games - they're too distracting!

I did my degree in Arts majoring in literature. I still have to do a Grad. Dip. in Education, as I want to teach secondary school. That's the plan anyway.

Congratulations to everyone else who got their degrees. There's nothing like that feeling.

A note about adventure games and studying: their limited replayability has always been great for me! I remember trying to finish them up before the exams arrived. Once I was done I could forget about the game for a year or so and concentrate on studying. With my current busy life, I still find this feature attractive.

Riddle of Master Lu !

Finally managed to run it properly with DOSBOX w/o sound & performance issues

Only drawback is that I can´t play it fullscreen because the screen is too dark, but that´s just a very minor annoyance.
So, after more than 10 years I should be able to finish it

Murder on the Orient Express

But I´ll wait till the prices drop a little.

Gray Matter

This should become adventure gaming heaven ...

Dead Mountaineer´s Hotel

Cool and intriguing concept.
I dig the setting !

Reprobates

I´ve just seen a couple of screenshots.
Is this supossed to be a time traveling adv ?
Extremely differing looks (sci fi, present, mediaeval)
But I expect somethin´ good from the Black Mirror team !
