Adventure games with cartoon graphics and/or conspiracy theme
Im looking for some adventuregames with cartoonish graphics. And preferably with humorous or conspiracyrelated themes. I would appreciate any help you could give me.
Some of the adventure games in this "genre" that I have truly enjoyed are: - Monkey Island (the whole series) - Broken Sword 1 & 2 (even though I didnt mind 3 and 4) - The Longest Journey and Dreamfall (Conspiracy; well, not really, but they are some of the best games Ive played) - Full Throttle - Moment of Silence (enjoyed the conspiracypart of the game) - Toonstruck! (fantastic!) - Runaway 1 & 2 - Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) I would be very grateful if someone were to help me find some more games like the ones mentioned above. Thank you for your help :D |
Welcome to the forums, fredmania. :)
You might want to have a look at the Discworld games (1, 2 and Noir). They're fun and very good, though the first two are insanely hard. Secret Files: Tunguska has conspiracy elements and nice graphics (though not cartoony), but there are some caveats (see the review). I'm sure there are many more, but nothing pops to mind at the moment. |
Cartoony and Conspiracy you say? May I suggest Sam and Max: Episode One by Tell Tale Games! :)

You will love Flight of the Amazon Queen:

Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria is also very nice:

No cartoonish graphics. No humor. (I hate that "genre" of yours, and when you say like this cartoonish graphics and with humor - that's insult!) |
Humor is, indeed, despicable.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Hysteria on this one. Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) is definitely not meant to be cartoony or funny. Maybe you were just throwing that one in to fulfill the whole "conspiracy" requirement you were going for?
|
What about Legend games like Death Gate, Shannara, Callahan's Crosstime saloon and Champions of Xanth? You guys think those would qaulify as so called cartoon adventure games?

In reply to Kurufinwe and Nautilus, I have already played Gilbert Goodmate and all the Discworld games (Noir is great!). I may give Secret Files: Tunguska a try and definately Flight of the Amazon Queen. I think Ill wait a while with Sam & Max, until season one is released. Thanks alot for the help guys and keep em coming if you have some more games for me to try. :) |
Seems like this topic is very simmular to the one I made few days ago
feel free to check out the other topic too, great tips are in it ;) http://forums.adventuregamers.com/sh...ad.php?t=19313 as said about 1000 times in this forum: be SURE to check out grim fandango, if you havent before ;) greetz -fender- |

I have also played Grim Fandango. Loved it. |
Oh ... 3rd person you say? Have you played any of the Kyrandia games? They're fantasy but they also have a rather funny/sarcastic tone about them.

I think Leisuresuit Larry 2 was one of the best conspiracy theory games ever!!
|
Thanks for all your help. Ive played all the games youve mentioned now and are desperately seeking more. Loved Gabriel Knight series!
|
How about Out of Order?
|
Thanks for the tip but Ive played that as well. :-(
|
How about 'Day of the Tentacle?'

You can try the demo for Beneath a Steel Sky and Lure of the Temptress.
You may download them from the revolution's site http://revolution.co.uk/ You may also enjoy the King's Quest, the Police Quest and the Space Quest games. You can actually get these three series in brandnew collection for each of the Quest releases ;) However, there is also a fanmade? re-make of King's Quest 1-3 which sometimes is (far) better than the original ones, imo. And there's a fanmade Broken Sword 2.5 out -- sort of a 2½ D game, I think. Simon the sorcerer 1+2 is also fairly good games. |

However, you will find the full version of Lure and a link to scummvm.org where you'll find the full version of BASS. |

Just turned in an application and cv/resume for a new job :) --- so I'm totally :crazy: and :shifty: today. I'm glad you're correcting me, though :) - especiallu this day, when I can't seem to remember that it is the full games (right?) that are available, not the demos... |

Though the humour is a bit childish, King's Quest VII and Torin's Passage do have cartoon graphics.
|
For what you've played and enjoyed, you should definitely play Syberia, great story and the graphics speak for themselves :)
|
Definitely the Sam & Max series - very well done and funny....also Martin Mystere comes to mind...good story;)

How can I resist suggesting the Nick Bounty games.
cartoony, Funny, and a conspiracy about counterfeit crabs! Ok, these games are short, but free! Should entertain you for a while! http://www.otterarchives.com/bounty2/images/screen2.jpg AG Review http://www.otterarchives.com/images/shot3.gif AG Review |

|
Grim Fandango is a great game. Its sorta has a conspiracy theme. You should try it out anyways, its great.

If you don't mind realllly old EGA/VGA graphics ,
Cinemaware action adventure Rocket Ranger was a hoot to play (not sure about now) and has nazi conspiracy. ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Ranger http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/rocket-ranger http://www.cinemaware.com/clsgame_rr.asp http://img524.imageshack.us/img524/840/rocket1zl5.png Sierra's Heart of China was another early title that was pretty cool. Maybe not really cartoony graphics but more of photo realistic graphics. Looked really fantastic at that time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_China http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/heart-of-china http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/410/heart1ah9.gif http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/1585/heart2ft0.png |
How about Snatcher and Rise of the Dragon?
