Leisure Suit Larry Box Office Bust had Carmen Electra *coolface.jpg*

Jelena · 08-29-2011, 11:29 AM

Michael Dorn (Worf in Star Trek TNG and DS9) was the voice of Dr John in Gabriel Knight, Sins of the Father.

EDIT: Ah well, that was more than 10 years ago.

hehe nice work.. and thanx for reminding me once again that i should play Tex

i completely forgot Michael York is in Overseer, is his part a minor one? i love the actor ever since i've seen this version of The Three Musketeers

and speaking of movies, how cool is that both Walken and Hopper are in one of the best movie scenes ever?

Oh, i see what you're doing here, an undercover way for another FMV quiz

i don't recognize all of it

Fien · 08-29-2011, 03:34 PM

I wouldn't call Michael York's part minor. He's pretty good. We could do Overseer as a community playthrough.

I'm a great fan of Christopher Walken and I remember that scene with Hopper very well. Awsome. That guy has such an incredibly menacing presence! But the little I've seen of his acting in Ripper was awful. (For some reason I still cannot play Ripper on my 3 machines, not even in DosBox.

)

No, it's not a quiz.

It's an homage. If you want to know who's who, just say the word.

diego

Bad diego, bad

I am going to try to guess them all nevertheless

SweetDalilah · 08-29-2011, 05:20 PM

This is what I've managed to find/recognise/guess

1. Oliver Muirhead (Zork Grand Inquisitor)
2. Michael York (Tex Murphy Overseer)
3.
4. Dennis Hopper (Black Dahlia)
5. Christopher Walken (Ripper)
6.
7.
8. Christopher Lloyd (Toonstruck)
9. Dirk Benedict (Zork Grand Inquisitor)
10.
11. Erick Avari (Zork Grand Inquisitor)
12. possibly Pierce Brosnan

for the remaining ones I have no idea

*Fantasysci5* · 08-29-2011, 05:47 PM

Interplay · 08-29-2011, 06:29 PM

Yeah, nobody liked my FMV quizzes and I don't think Diego took part in them, so this is my revenge.

You got them right, except the first and last one. Brad Dourif's NO! NO! NO! NO! etcetera etcetera still has me in stitches.

Fantasy:

Here we have a nice example of the time-honored generation gap. To me, Brad Dourif is of "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" fame, as the very young stuttering patient.

Hints? Heh, two of the unguessed pics have already been mentioned, one even twice. The ghostly head in #7 also played an important part in The Lord of the Rings. The guy in #10 was in the ancient but great movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers. #12 is the most recent game.

PS: #6 is correct too.

*PolloDiablo* · 08-30-2011, 01:06 AM

#3 is Michael Dorn (the famous Klingon from Star Trek) in Mission Critical

diego · 08-30-2011, 01:57 AM

7 is Saruman with a haircut

of course, it's legendary Christopher Lee in Ghosts from 1994.

another legendary actor - Kevin McCarthy in Pandora Directive on 10.

And the last one is... oh darn, i shoot two guesses already.

Fien · 08-30-2011, 06:56 AM

Yes, yes, and yes.

The last one is Clive Robertson as Captain John O'Neil in Darkstar. Come to think of it, he's the only actor of the lot who has a right to have his pic posted in this thread. I recommend Darkstar.

Nice story. It has some flaws but what game doesn't.

SweetDalilah · 08-30-2011, 07:24 AM

Fien, it was a great amusement guessing these actors

(even though I never even heard of the ones that I haven't guessed

) Nevertheless I enjoyed it very much

Can we expect any kind of quiz from you any time soon?

The same for me.

*PolloDiablo* · 08-30-2011, 07:34 AM

I pre-ordered Darkstar from a Dutch online shop back in February but it got cancelled because it was 'sold out'.

Fien · 08-30-2011, 07:50 AM

You can buy it from the developer himself, Pollo.

Sorry to disappoint you, SweetDahlilah, but I don't really feel like making another quiz in the foreseeable future. But I've said that before and then I produced another one, so who knows...
