Is it Full Throttle? No idea why I think this lol.

At first, I was going to pick a really easy one:

"What a relief. I was getting concerned that our transportation wasn't ostentatious enough."

But then I saw that game had already been used in this thread several times, so I thought of this one:

"Last version was better. More bugs. Bugs make game fun."

But that's unfair. Some of you probably weren't even born when that game was released, so I ended up with one (slightly reworded to keep it from being obvious) which should be pretty easy:

"I think this Bumpus goon is overcompensating for his lack of stature. And besides, I've got a lot more trophies than he does."

Hey, that's "Sam & Max Hit the Road" :7:7 (one of my favo(u)rites). You're right: it was easy.

P.S. It would have been a bit tougher if you had omitted Conroy Bumpus. That name was a dead giveaway. :P

You're absolutely right. Yes, I could have omitted "Bumpus", but I decided on just leaving out "Sam". Anyway, I figured this thread isn't just about being difficult, it's about celebrating our favorite games, right? :)

In case anyone was wondering, the other two lines were from Grim Fandango ("What a relief...") and Planetfall ("Last version was better..."). Planetfall was a text adventure written by Steve Meretzky and released by Infocom back in 1983.

Right. :)

Who said this:
"Sometimes I wondered if these ancient temples were designed to fall in on themselves at dramatic moments."

George Stobbard in Broken Sword I?

No, it's not George and it's not any of the Broken Sword games.
The quote is from another popular adventure.

It was not Tex Murphy, was it?

Twist of fate?

It wasn't Tex Murphy (although the character who said those words was also a square jaw detective ;] :7) and the quote isn't from Twist of Fate.

square jaw detective?

Discworld Noir?

Sure, that's the ticket! :)
Yeah, it's Luton :7 all right:

Alrighty then, this shouldn't be difficult:

"That doesn't need a jawbreaker"

Monkey Island 3 - The Curse of Monkey Island?

*shrugs* no one got mine....

Yes!

I remember when playing CMI, I got really stuck and was using that friggin jawbreaker on almost everything and heard that phrase over a zillion times!

Okay, another easy one then. I'm sure this has been said in several adventure games, but anyone who has played the game I'm thinking of will cringe at:

"That doesn't work."

Hey yeah, that's true.

I've no idea but I thought I'd revive your quote :)

^
Thanks. I am surprised no one got it yet. It shouldn't be too difficult. If you played the game you ought to have that line stuck in your memory somewhere.

Simon the Sorcerer?

The first Discworld game? Didn't Rincewind say that a lot?

Aren't there many games in which the protagonist says that?

Gabriel Knight?

Yes! The first Discworld game is famous for reusing that quote for all the millions of inventory item combinations that, well, didn't work. I can't read those three words without hearing Eric Idle in my head. As a by the way, there's a feature on it here: "That doesn't work"

Haha, didn't think I'd actually get that right. :) I remember Discworld fondly, loved that game even with all its obscure puzzles. I played it in about 1995 on the sony playstation, one of the few adventures the console had. Ok, I've got to go out, but I'll find a quote later on to post.

You're a million percent right, Sik! Those three words really used to be quite annoying :frusty:. I'm sure I never used the UHS hints so excessively as while playing Discworld. "That doesn't work" was Eric's mantra :pan: :7.
You're a masochist, aren't you? :P

"Here you go baby, dinner time!"

Wasn't that "Here you go baby, harassing time!"? http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/q..._opanachke.gif

Of course. Combine ladder with stocking to get some totally unrelated solution. I loved it :D

Me too. It was such a rich and funny game. You could click on every single door and you would get different descriptions for the two sides. I remember Rincewind saying "this must be the door to the dining room, it has got teeth marks all over it". :) And inside the dining room, he said something about running to the toilet (don't remember the exact words). Time for a replay! :9~

No, it definitely was dinner time.
OMG AGCommunity....you should all know the answer.

On the last page I guessed Full Throttle for this quote, could be very wrong though lol.

Mmm, such a line would imply that the person is giving someone (or something) something to eat (no matter whether it's actually edible or not), either in an attempt to kill or to lure the subject away from or to a place.

I really can't think of a single situation, certainly not in connection with "baby" as a way to address the subject. All that springs to mind is feeding the octopus in "Fate of Atlantis", though I highly doubt it's an Indy line.

"Mmm, such a line would imply that the person is giving someone (or something) something to eat (no matter whether it's actually edible or not), either in an attempt to kill or to lure the subject away from or to a place."

Your are correct with the first part. But it was an optional action in the game. Not necessary

Ah, if it's optional (and assuming I actually played the game) I probably didn't encounter it. Usually I get too captivated by the storyline, moving a game along by performing all the necessary actions, that I miss out on extra stuff. The new Sam & Max season is a good example of that, missing out on jokes by not trying all dialogue options and using all the toys of power on everything else before doing what's needed. It's not intentional, it just happens that way with me.

But I dunno...this should be an action everyone experimented in the game. All it took was clicking on something/someone. No use of items.

It's not Phantasmagoria 2 or something, is it?

Ok, here's mine. :)

"Quiet, brother. The walls have ears"

Any hints with this dinner quote, Origami? I can only think of Ceville for this one...

The walls have ears - hhmmm maybe black dahlia?

Not Black Dahlia, sorry.

Okay....here is a hint. The quote is from the protagonist and its directed at his 'best friend'.
