What game? Maybe you've played it and can help me identify it.
I've played it through about 8 years ago.
I am not totally sure about all the facts but I'll try to give as many (and as correct) as possible

Need the NAME of this game:

- 2D Adventure (Similiar more to the "drawn/comic" style of MI3 and not the old MI2 (pixely))
- Humor/Comedy
- PC (Was running on a 166MHZ / 16 MB RAM / Windows 95)
- I got the game from a magazine in Germany (Can't remember if the Game Publisher was german - but somehow I'd be closer to saying "no")
- Release Date 1996-2000 (1994-2002 MAX range)

Main Character:
Name: Can't remember (but may be included in title)
Male / A lil' geeky / Wearing glasses

Story: Can't remember

Partial Gameplay:

- Game starts off in a library (the main character may have been working there)
I remember you had to "interact" with a spider to get to a key (or similiar)

- From there you get into a taxi (some longer conversation was involved with the cab driver - like directions and similiar)

- I remember destinations involving a "lighthouse"

- A city covered in snow with some rude residents.


Pfu.. I'll try to come up with more xD but memories are pretty blurry.
But maybe YOU can identify it (somehow xD I guess it'll be hard with those lame clues)

Very appreciated!

The only "cartoonish humour" game which featured a guy with glasses which cames to my mind right now is "Tony Tough", but i don't think it fits the other clues.

Was the game german btw?

Glad you found it Shinji! I've never heard of it and it looks intriguing.

Welcome to AG too!

Heh, I think I should check the Adventure category here in the forum more often: I could have told you it's Archibald Applebrook's Abenteuer right away when you said "Library" and "Spider". Actually, I might have even been able to tell from the information before that.

And I can assure you, the publisher, Software 2000 was German. In fact, they used to have their (*extremely* tiny) office in our town. I saw the sign every day I drove to school in the train, because it was right by the train line, on the outskirts of our business/industrial district, in a building that has seen many companies come and go (usually short lived).

Archibald Applebrook's Abenteuer came in one of the earliest issues of the magazine "Mausklick". I remember that, because I picked it up at a Kiosk that no longer exists (it was rather short lived too, only being able to stay for a few years. There's a cosmetics studio there now), and it was the only place that seemed to carry "Mausklick" in my area. Sadly, "Mausklick" no longer exists either.

I still have the CD from the magazine.


Anyway, I think I'll try checking back here more often, so I can immediately help people when after all these long years I at last am not the only one who has played Archibald Applebrook's Abenteuer. I was starting to get the impression I really was alone in knowing that game here.

@ Melanie68 - Thx ^^ I remember the game really was a lotta fun (but I was ~14 years old at the time so.. can't guarantee)

@ Jazhara7 - xD Yep.. the same magazine I got it from. I haven't seen the magazine before or after I bought the one with "AAA" . But I guess I would even buy a "Cosmopolitan" if it has a new/free/full adventure game coming with it.

You must not have looked in the Adventure game Scene game thread then. I posted it in there a while ago.

You're exactly right. I don't read that thread too often, and I won't be made to feel guilty because I don't.

That wasn't a glare at you, that was a grumbling look to the side, Melsie. Don't worry about not reading that thread.

Okay.
