The part when he goes from like 9 to 49 is absurd

I would just like to point out that I would never do such things to innocent women myself

Oh. One question: you consider TeenAgent to be a full-retail or shareware? I mean now it's freeware but at the tine of it's release few years ago?

Well, the topic is , as far as I know Good, but less-known adventure games. I consider TeenAgent 2 b good but less known adventure game. Exept in Poland, may b.

It brings another question: less known where?

I think that because thise game was sold in the beginning, it isn't fully shareware. Or something like that.

Ah, but the true psychos think no woman is innocent, Erwin. No loopholes for you.

As for the topic, gotta go with Feeble Files here. A flawed game, to be sure, but one of the most finely-crafted adventures I've ever played. It might be more popular in Europe, but it's a shame it never found a North American publisher.

How about Starship Titanic? Its a Douglas Adams game with lots of Monty Phython members in it!

That's entirely true, Singer, but neither is any man

No argument here, Tamara!!

The possibility of an innocent guy is so laughable, it hadn't even occurred to me.

Of course, I was merely speaking hypothetically, on behalf of psychos the world over - not that I... umm... uh... right, shutting up now.

This was a great concept with some excellent ideas, unfortunately spoiled by awful execution.

There was some hot discussion here long time ago about our (polish) developers being simply inept at game making craft. One of the arguments against this thesis was actually worlwide acclaim of Teenagent. It was already a cult here in Poland. However one of interlocutors mentioned that Teenagent was treated as a shareware and it was judged outside Poland by that measure.
Now, I don't know what he really meant by "it was treated like shareware".

edit: Our guilt,our blame ,
I've been far too sympathetic.
Our blood, our fault.
I've been far too sympathetic.

I am not innocent.
You are not innocent.
Noone is innocent.

I will no longer tolerate you
Even if I must go down beside you.
Because,
Noone is innocent.

This game is one of my top favorites.

It's called "Out of this World" in the US, and "Another World" in Europe/Australia, and is not talked about as much as it deserves. It's a graphical adventure with action elements. It has really great music/art direction. The only downside, if any, is that it's bit hard to finish though (without cheating), cause its a big game. It has that fantasy/real story atmosphere which I enjoyed much.
Check out the screenshots.

Another world? Is it that DOS game when you arrive at another planet after lightning strike? Never got further that a couples of screens. The game has 2 many action for me, u could die a couple of time in each screen.

DomStLeger · 10-05-2003, 04:58 AM

It was more of a Action/Platformer imo; but a good game none the less.. The plot was rather good in Another World. Delphines pure adventures (Cruise For A Corpse, Operation Stealth and Future Wars) had equally good (but different) plots, but were more pure adventures. All of Delphines games are worth checking out (Fade to Black and Flashback are also quite good; more in the vain of Another world than Cruise for a Corpse though)

James · 10-05-2003, 10:23 AM

Another World! eh gods, i forgot about that one -an excellent game nevertheless.

Way of the Samurai. This one's on the consoles (ps2). It does involve combat, but it certainly has adventure elements. It's very open-ended, and you're able to make many decisions throughout the course of the game that truly have impact on how things play out.

Examples:

In the beginning, you see a yakuza thug chasing after a female. You can choose to stand back and let her get captured, you can interfere and save the young woman, or you can ask the thug if you could possibly join him.

Should you help the girl, she'll invite you to have a meal at her restaurant. When you arrive, a greedy family that rules over the area threatens to evict the girl and proceeds to trash the place (it's up to you whether or not you will to intervene). If you'd joined the thug (who happens to belong to said greedy family) in the beginning, you may find yourself being the one to trash the girl's restaurant.
