Pipped at the post! Not sure what's going on with the mirror, but the siamese twins seem like Faust.

OK, assuming I got it:

BEWARE! Does not work on XP!!

Do not buy this game unless you have a computer with a pre-XP operating system cause it simply will not work. I don't think it works with ME either. This was not made clear online and I was sooo bummed when it arrived.

What with all the positive reviews here I think I will steer clear of this one.

Assuming Faust was correct:

Discworld Noir ?

Good guess, but nope.

The Pandora Directive? I remember not getting one of the Tex Murphy games to work on XP. I even tried to run it in Win98 in a virtual machine. Which of course didn't work at all.

Faust it was.

I remembered you took part in the playthrough, but I had forgotten that you were one of those people who didn't "get" the game. Your loss. :P

:P
I know I will (if I get a chance).
:devil:
Wow....Operation: Weather Disaster. I could have lived the rest of my life and never had remembered playing that game. I think I remember it being really bad.

It's not Pandora Directive either, tsa. It's one of the other of the handful of games that famously don't run on modern systems. (Or at least didn't run; there's some talk of an installer/patch more recently.)

Grim Fandango?

skeeter_93 01-13-2012 10:53 PM
Amber Journeys Beyond?

EDIT: Stoopid me, I know that one runs on XP because I started playing it *shakes head* How about Feeble Files?

After a brisk nap 01-14-2012 04:14 AM
No, no. You had it right the first time. It is A.M.B.E.R: Journeys Beyond. It was notorious for many years for not running on modern computers. I guess someone finally fixed it, then?

However, near the end of the game you need to type a password and a bug prevents you from doing so. Someone fortunately had a savegame in which the password is typed and you just press enter. http://www.squirtthecat.com/forum/vi....php?f=12&t=26

WOw that is even more complicated than Journey to the Center of the Earth, in which there are three puzzles that no logic could solve, only painstaking trial and error and enormous amounts of patience and anger management.

skeeter_93 01-15-2012 06:18 AM
Yay! Okay here's one...

This is excellent interactive fiction - exciting story, cinematic, eye-pleasing graphics, and with well-integrated MacGuyver puzzles. It can hold its own with classic adventures from Lucas, and for me was definitely more fun than say plodding through Nancy Drew's chores. If you are a reader and puzzle-solver and liked the Indiana Jones movies and games, you may find this to be one of the best games you have played in a long time.

Nancy... plodding??? :crazy:

Niburu?

TimovieMan 01-15-2012 06:55 AM
You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Getting as much Indiana Jones references in there so I'd guess "Lost Horizon" every time. :D

Is it Lost Horizon?

tsa 01-15-2012 07:03 AM
No, it's Niburu: Age of Secrets :P

skeeter_93 01-16-2012 06:17 AM
Yes Timovieman, it's Lost horizon! :D Your turn...

I knew it had to be Lost Horizon sooner or later... :P


I came across this:

THIS IS A RPG GAME....
IS THE BEST GAME YOU NEED RESOLVE A CRIMEN CASE.
IS A HARD GAME BUT YOU CAN'T STOP!!
BELIEVE ME IF YOU WANT PLAY A GOOD GAME BUY THIS
I CAN'T RESOLVE THE GAME YET....
I CONTINUE PLAYING AND PLAYING BUT NOT IS EASY!!
But rest assured: it is most definitely NOT a role-playing game... :)
