Museum of Dead Adventures
 

Hey there everyone!

I was recently reading the Sam & Max 2 thread, the one about creating a museum as a tribute to the game, in order to not let everyone forget about this potentially great adventure.

I was wondering if there's any way AG would also create a tribute museum for other cancelled adventure projects, like Star Trek Secret of Vulcan Fury, Larry 8 Lust in Space, etc. It could be just one page, a tribute page not as big as the intended Sam and Max 2 museum. Nethertheless, I think even just a small tribute page would be more than welcome to those adventure fans who never saw their game released after so many hype.

I would like to hear what the AG readers think of this idea.

i think it's a really good idea, finding information on these games is going to be kinda hard...

first i think we should make a list of all to be adventure games that were canceled

toonstruck 2
warcraft adventures
SAM and max 2
LSL 8
EDIT** Full throttle 2
i cant think of any others..

Add Southpeak's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" game.
I think you mean Full Throttle 2. I've played Full Throttle.

Of course you can always debate if Full Throttle 2 was an adventure game. :rolleyes: :P
But let's not go down that road.

I like the idea, but it's going to be one hell of a job gathering info. If AGers is to do something like this it would probably have to be a joint operation (so to speak) like the Sam & Max museum is.

Lets not forget those adventures that never made it past the planning stages or didn't get the green light.

Two I'd like to nominate straight off are Gabriel Knight 4 (which Jane Jensen said she even pitched to Sierra in the recent past) and of course Project Jane-J.

project jane j is'nt dead..it was put on hold..

Ohhh Vulcan Fury, due out in 45 days .... there was a full page ad in PC Gamer... then 2 weeks later it was canceled.... :shifty:

Damn.

This is absolutely something I want to do, though I want to focus on Sam & Max 2 first.

The next two games I would want to do would be Secret of Vulcan Fury and Warcraft Adventures. They fall under the category of truly getting the ax. LSL8 and SQ7 never really made it too far into the development stage. FT2 may have been the all-time mercy killing. And Jane-J, as was said, is not a dead game yet.

But certainly I like the idea of honoring deceased adventure games and hope that we can do something like that for many games over the next year.

what exactly do you plan on doing with the whole SAM and max thing? are you going to be making a tribute web page or one giant Could of been preview?
EDIT: never mind that comment, should of read the other museum forum

I think there was supposed to be a sequel to Infocom's "Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy". They also had plans for another Planetfall game which never went anywhere.

speaking of hitchhickers guide. dreamworks is working on a big budget movie remake of the BBC mini series.

Man, that sounds depressing when read the wrong way.

I just did a google search on Warcraft Adventures, and boy did that game look good.

Yeah, Warcraft Adventures sure looked promising and exciting, but still Blizzard pulled the plug ;(

They had even finalized the box art for the game
