Just played a game called 'Snatcher'. If you like noir, or more cyberpunk noir, this is for you guys.
Man, this game's good. It's not third person, but I think you'll forget that very quickly. It's about as expensive as games come, but with a bit of research, you can find out how to play the game for free. |

Here's a recent article on how adv. games get Noir right but how most non-adv. games that call themselves Noir are nothing but tourists and posers:

Blade Runner I consider noir. And a new one being made right now is Face Noir http://www.facenoir.com/

Jack Orlando is one of the games I loved while playing demo, but did not strike me after all these years when I finally got them and played them... Sadly.

Jimsta, I'm not sure if it would work for you, but there is a utility on the net that I'd found called MoSlo. It allows you to slow down CPU performance for certain applications. It may help you out with your WARP speed games.

In search of good games :D
Hello everyone , i just registered in AG forums and i am very excited i found a site/forum like this !!
i am 30 y.o gamer since 1985 or so (good ol' Amstrad 6128) and never stopped gaming till today .i am very fond of action games and rpg's , but i allways appreciate a GOOD adventure game ! sadly i cannot find anything too good after Still life , that game thrilled me -it was awsome- atmosphere , puzzles , difficulty , graphics quality and variation of gameplay , not to mention an excellent scenario. Other games i enjoyed all most as much were : runaway , runaway 2 , a Vampyre story , still life 2 (not even close to still life 1 though :/ ) , Syberia and the Monkey island sequels . Now i am on Alter Ego and thinking about Lost Horizon. i have to say that Still life is THE KING of adventure games for me So , having these in mind is there something similar you'd recommend to me ? P.S. - please exclude FMV's and manga-style games P.S.2 - really glad i found AG community |

The Last Express is highly recommended. Also fits with the topic of being a noir game.

Thought I played a demo more than a year ago. Has it taken that long to bring the game to fruition?

Chinatown is my favorite movie. With that said, I'd recommend Private Eye (based on an actual Raymond Chandler novel). Grim Fandango, my favorite AG, has strong connections to Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon, making it a must for noir lovers. For a more cyberpunk feel, you can't go wrong with Fate by Numbers or Blade Runner. And while Still Life is, imho, the best adventure of the 21st century so far (though as a Chicagoan, I'm biased), its prequel, Post Mortem, is far more noir, with a femme fatale, more of a "shadows from venetian blinds" atmosphere, etc.
My $0.02.

Episode 1 (of 2) for the PC got released (it's really great!) and the full Nintendo DS version of the game too, but then the publisher went bankrupt and...

I'm attempting to make a short 1st person noir in AGS at the moment. I don't really want to talk much about it until it's done, because I've had bad luck with game projects recently :-/

Another thread reminded me of the Casebook trilogy, which should be pretty good.
