Our very own Squinky has a wonderful game I like, "The Game That Takes Place on a Cruise Ship" that has very broad locations and multiple endings. And I liked one called "Beauties and Beasts" about Beauty pagents.

Yeah, I knew he was part of Telltale. Personally I wish they'd make a full Nick Bounty than a rehash of an age old VG franchise. I think that by Telltale focusing on making games based on established franchises they've undermind their own talent.

Also must recommend the Barn Runner games - a bit rude but very funny.

You know, I've recently created a demo for an adventure game based on my own IP and it's really difficult to get people to notice it. It makes me wonder if it wouldn't be a better move to first create an Indiana Jones game or something. Anyway, from the business standpoint tried IPs are the thing that may decide if a company will be able to sell enough copies of their games or not. However, in the future I can see Telltale delivering completely original games. Especially now, after producing the new Monkey Island sequel.

This one about/co-written by adventure legend Tim Schafer is cool, though a bit tough:

This is great! I didn't know there were so many people actually doing this kind of thing. Will have to check them out. Too bad my summer vacation is already over. Luckily I still have a week left in September.

"The Flight of the Amazon" Queen is an nineties-oldie, obviously inspired by Indiana Jones. Originally a commercial release, you can now download it for free from the scummvm website (and a few more freebies). Not quite a classic, it's still enjoyable.
There is some freebie fan-made remakes/sequels that's also worth checking out. AGDInteractives remakes of Kings Quest I and II (There is also another team that made a remake of KQIII) and Quest for Glory 2 has already been mentioned in this thread. Worth playing is the sequels Broken Sword 2.5 and Zak McKracken: Between Time and Space. |
