Default Need help IDing adventure games.

I remember 2 graphic adventure games from my childhood but can't remember their names, any help would be thankful; its driving me mad.

The first one starts you off as some treasure hunter or something and the pilot crashes the plane and the first puzzle is you have to balance the plane with a crate. Then you were this french girl facing off with another french girl and she had a gun and you had to react by slamming her face with the pan.

The second one was about a murderer wearing a rat like mask, the intro was two people making love and then the murderer shows up and cuts off their heads. You were a detective and there was something about a painting turning better each time you helped someone. The first part you started in was a hotel.

Again thank you for your help.

Welcome to AG, by the way.

Glad you enjoyed Broken Sword 3 so much. You don't hear that many peaple around here that enjoyed that wonderful game. May I advise you to play Broken Sword 1 and 2 as well. Broken Sword 3 can very well stand on its own but I think you'll enjoy replaying it even more if you've played the other ones as well. Also there's a Broken Sword 4 but I wouldn't give it a try and if you do don't expect to much of it.

By the by how do you define childhood ? I mean if you were really a kid back in 2003 when BS3 was first released or maybe even later then you must be in you're early teens right now at best. Then again if you register everything between 12 and 18 also under childhood then that would make you a lot older

Just curious

I mean how long was it since you played those games? At least originally.

To me it doesn't seem long ago since BS 3 was released... Maybe that's just a side effect of getting older, though.

While we're at it I've got one too....When I was in Middle School there was a game that I believe I played on the Macs in the computer lab sometime between 1988-1990 (though the game might have been a little older). Your character was locked in a Museum at night and had to interact with characters from throughout history (seems like I recall Napoleon being in there). There were some dangerous rooms/encounters as well. Yes, the game was basically like the movie Night at the Museum but came about 20 years before the movie and no, I am not confusing it with Maniac Mansion. I'm guessing this should be a fairly easy one to id...

Not sure if it's it, but could it be Museum Madness? I played that when I was in elementary school in the school lab.

Great guess but not quite it. The game was even older...visually I see to recall it being less impressive than Maniac Mansion, much less a more "recent" game like Museum Madness.

The only locked in Museum game I can think of is Dagger of Amon Ra...but I don't remember Napoleon...
