And remember that, just because we choose one over the other, it doesn't stop us doing a playthrough of the other game at a later date! (if there is enough interest)

But how and where do we get the game?

Little Writer · 07-06-2011, 07:44 AM

I'd like to know too. Never heard of the game. It's originally Russian, I believe? A rare two-disk game, they say at JustAdventure. If I try to find it, more items about some boot loader show up than the game itself.

Yes.... "Gag" is, to put it mildly, NOT "safe for work" as far as searching the internet -- as you might (or might not) anticipate...

Anyway, this will help narrow it down: "GAG" "Unplugged Adventure"

Tiocfaidh · 07-06-2011, 08:51 AM

I´d join GAG (never played it before) & Broken Sword (would be my 5th or 6th playthrough)

diego · 07-07-2011, 06:31 AM

current score

GAG - 6

Broken Sword 1 - 4

Fien, i really hope you've got 20 copies of GAG in here for each one of us

zobraks · 07-08-2011, 12:36 AM

Guess who's got his ~~mojo~~ GAG working!

I would go for Overseer, but I tried to get it working on a modern PC years ago and failed miserably.

Did you try this? There's also something about getting TMO to work here.

BTW, GAG works flawlessly on Win XP (SP 2 here).

millenia · 07-08-2011, 03:37 AM

GoG Overseer works pretty good on my Win7 x64. It has crashed once or twice, otherwise no problems.

Best to use the full title: GAG: The Impotent Mystery. Strange but true, the English version was released only in the Netherlands, with English voices, subtitles, menus, etc. But in a Dutch box with a Dutch manual and a Dutch title: GAG Het Impotentie Mysterie.

Actually, I don't. I'm sorry if I gave that impression. Fien

Good for you.

In my experience it works flawlessly on XP machines (compatibility 95 on). Don't know about Vista.

I (XP SP 2) didn't even tinker with Compatibility. The only thing I had to change in my system settings to get GAG working was the Color Quality (right-click the desktop, Display Properties) - I switched it from Highest (32 bit) to Medium (16 bit):

There's a diagnostic program on the GAG install disc (aptly named PCINFO.EXE) that checks your system and tells you if you need to change something:

Now back to the Davis Cup

Thanks, Zobraks, I didn't know about that useful file on the disk. If anybody has questions about starting GAG, feel free to send me a PM.

So, Luna, Seagul, Matt, Little Writer, Zobraks, Crabapple, Skeeter and any other interested posters... when would you like to start the playthrough? It's a short game, will take us two or three weeks at the most to finish. Next week, or is that too soon?

Woo-hoo! I'm glad so many people are already interested in playing GAG. And interesting/quality members of the community, to boot!

I only have to go through a final chapter of an adventure game I'm currently playing, after that I'm all yours, o, mighty playthrough mistress!

Any time you (and the others) choose is fine with me, but don't wait too long to start the thread.

Oscar · 07-09-2011, 12:36 AM

I'm in but I still don't know what we're playing. What is GAG?

So, where can you get this game? Seems quite unlikely everyone would find it in a week. I don't even know where to start looking.

Luna Sevithiainen · 07-09-2011, 06:37 AM

I have nothing else to play to play at the moment, so I'm ready when you guys are

I got GAG running on windows 98, and surprisingly it also seems to work with no problems on windows 7. I recall not being able to install it on XP, that it crahsed on the autorun. I guess those options mentioned by Fien and Zobraks would have done the trick. Ah well, I got it working on windows 98, for which it's made, so that would be fine.

(sorry about the useless flood of words, I guess I am just over-excited to start playing GAG again and to be part of a playthrough again).

@everyone who is looking for the game: I searched every second-hand online storeI know, but so far no luck. My best bet would be Dutch second-hand stores, but the ones I checked didn't have it...) I was lucky that my dad once found a copy of it, and that I could steal his.

I was lucky enough my uncle went to the war tribunal in The Hague (Den Haag, Netherlands), so he brought GAG to me, as a souvenir.

skeeter_93 · 07-09-2011, 06:45 PM

I was thinking we'd need a couple of weeks to find the game. But I realised I'm going to be gone the whole month of August (going to the UK and Europe, yay!) so next week is good so that I can finish before I go. I just have to find the game now...don't suppose GOG will have it?
