Thanx, Jacques l'aliéné. What about Who's Fat Lou ? And regarding Secret Of The Pyramids, can you give me a link to screenshots or a walkthrough?

Oh you're not losing much, and I think you can easily find it anyway.

Im sure I could too

MDMaster · 09-03-2005, 01:09 AM

20 GBP for a russian cd only version of three skull of the toltecs?
I still can't understand what's up with people willing to spend that much on a completely worthless thing. But then again, it's the same people that gave me 80 euros for a boxed Sanitarium, so who am I to complain/judge?

MDMaster · 09-05-2005, 08:48 AM

Oh btw, I see nobody mentioned Angel Devoid by Microprose, so I guess this makes it one of the rarest of rare adventure games

Scratch that, of course it's Mindscape, sorry!
Well, I haven't seen it that much on ebay but having searched now there's more than one and nobody paying that much attention.
You guys are mean, you know?

The first game (Mean Streets) is basically 3rd person with 1st person driving simulator sequences that you can completely ignore, and it also contains some 3rd person shooting sequences.
The second game (Martian Memorandum) is a normal point and click 3rd person adventure game, similar to Access Software's Countdown.
The third, fourth, and fifth games (Under a Killing Moon, The Pandora Directive, Tex Murphy: Overseer) are 1st person FMVs but I wouldn't go so far as to call them Myst-style.

Aurebesh · 09-06-2005, 12:08 PM

I need to know if the following games were published normally (i.e. in a box and sold in stores) or if they were shareware (e.g. the Hugo trilogy) or budget games that were sold on-line only without a box (e.g. Passage: Path to Betrayal):

Teen Agent
Armaeth: The Lost Kingdom
Igor: Objective Uikokahonia
Piposh
Verschollen auf Lost Island (Missing on Lost Island)
Trick or Treat
Drascula
Riana Rouge
Hariboy's Quest
Heaven's Dawn

I care only about English versions, if a game was published commercially in a foreign language and its English version was not, then as far I'm concerned this game was never released commercially.

Thank you

Jacques l'aliéné · 09-06-2005, 02:10 PM

Phew ! So many questions !

Teen Agent : As far as I know this exists as sharewaree, but I'm always on the look-out, just in case.

Armaeth : I think this exists as a commercially released English version.

Igor : Yes. Commercially released, English.

Piposh : not sure about this one.

Verschollen : English. Still pops up on German eBay.

Heaven's Dawn : Don't know.

Trick Or Treat : I have this. Commercial release. English. Boxed.

Drascula : Only boxed as Spanish, I believe. Jewel-cased rerelease is English.

Riana Rouge : Still available (new), on eBay. English.

Hariboy's Quest : Mine is jewel-cased, with manual, but I'm fairly sure that a box exists. Good kids game. Long game too.

No idea about store sales. There aint no such stores where I be livin'.

I owned Armaeth a long, long time ago. Gets the award for the most complicated and frustrating interface ever. Yes, it came in a box. With a hefty manual.

Riana Rouge is still available at the Riana Roughe web site.

Missing on Lost Island does indeed pop up on German ebay, but to the best of my knowledge it's not the original release.

It's actually freeware now. And, if you believe The Underdogs, it was released commercially in Poland with Polish recorded voices.

Yes, I do believe the underdogs are correct in their Teenagent entry, but not because they're so reliable, but because many other sources supoort this.
The game I'm currently most interested in is Igor: Objective Uikokahonia. In this game's case, the underdogs are wrong because they claim it's a shareware game. Now I've never seen a boxshot of the English release of this game, but I believe it never was a shareware.
According to the JA review of the game, the English version of Igor was released both on floppies AND on a CD-ROM with voices (a common thing in 1994). Is this true? And were both of these English releases sold in a box? Every boxshot of this game that I've ever seen was of the Spanish release, can anyone provide a link for a boxshot of the English floppy and/or CD release? Does anybody have the English release of this game, and can supply proof to the existence of a boxed English release?
Thanx
