You don't play Flash games and you don't play Underground games. *shakes head in disapproval*

Play "Spooks" from that same site. Heck, they're free for download, what are you going to lose? And I can vouch for Spooks being a great game. So go playing already, or no more gun pron for you! Don't make me get out the Loony Pan.
Trust me, you will thank me for this later on. -

I'll take a look at it.
 Seriously, every time I've played an underground game, I've gotten stuck and given up. Part of the problem is a lack of beta-testing and tweaking to make the game better and a bit easier to figure out, but part of it is also the lack of hints. On a commercial title, there'll be a walkthrough, but that's rarely the case with an underground game. |

You're probably playing the wrong games.
Either that, or I'm playing the wrong commercial games.

The most recent Underground games I've played are Reactor 05 and Charlie Foxtrot and the Galaxy of Tomorrow. And Dreaming, but that doesn't count because it's not really, you know, a "game".
And if you're playing adventure games, you're playing probably some of the wrong games. Go play BioShock; it's gaming at its finest. |

I played an underground game once, about some boy wizard or something, it was kinda good.

Firstly, there' the AGS forum hints and tips which already contains threads for most games and you can start a new one if not. Secondly, there's this website which has walkthroughs for nearly every AGS game. The guy who runs that, Leon, also writes reviews for my blog. As for other underground games, I don't know, but 90% of underground adventures are AGS-based anyway... |

It's nice to see people who have a hobby.

Excuses, excuses...you just don't know where to look! Also, asking in the forums of the games often helps too. In the case of AGS games you can usually ask directly in the AGS forums. -

Unfortunately, I don't think those sites have been updated in aeons...

Why is it that stalking isn't as fun when you're doing it in a computer game?
