It's nice to know everyone has the same definition of "adventure game" that we do.

What game is that featured on this screen?

Evan finds a surefire candidate for the next Top 20.

What game is Evan holding?

I couldn't figure it out what were these 2 games even when I clicked on the thumbnail to see the larger version of the pics.

i think the answer to your first question is prince of Persia, i stared at the picture for a few minutes and thats the only one i could figure out. i could be mistaken. so don't quote me

*Stinger* · 09-07-2004, 06:36 PM

1. Yes, that's the new POP game.

2. That's a non-licensed Atari 2600 game called Custer's Revenge. Good stuff.

Is that the one where you rape indian women?

remixor · 09-07-2004, 08:36 PM

Well, the box claimed it was something like "adult consentual intercourse", but yeah, it's the game where you rape Indian women

Draco2.5 · 09-07-2004, 08:37 PM

I'll have to play that game.

Er... I mean

How horrible! Why would you speak of such an evil game? And how would such a racist game ever get made? One wonders....

I didn't like how playing Monkey Island 2 was always 'geeky'

remixor · 09-08-2004, 12:20 AM

Well, it was more the fact that there were probably almost a dozen of us holed up in a hotel room at night in the middle of Los Angeles, and yet we still decided to hook up a laptop computer to a big screen TV and collaboratively play an adventure game. Granted, it was totally awesome, but hard to defend it against being geeky.

Thank God my laptop has video out and someone (Doug?) had a component video cable. Man, it looked really good on that big screen.

Stop making me drool!

So, did you complete it? In Hard mode, or easy mode?

09-08-2004, 04:21 PM

there's a hard mode and easy mode in MI2?

*Jake* · 09-08-2004, 04:36 PM

In the original releases, yeah. The version that shipped on the PC Gamer US Coverdisc in 1997 with the CMI demo, and the one currently in the Monkey Madness CD compilation only have hard mode (though I suspect the second mode will show up if you run the game via ScummVM).

09-08-2004, 04:40 PM

i did not know this, i now have to get the game and play again

Yeah, it does

That was a couple of good laughs indeed, thanks! *wondering about the chicks*

Sarah is from Mojo, and Amanda is Dom's sister.

What make is that car, Jake? If you look at the c-pillar it resembles a Saab (9000 maybe?), but the front doesn't really look like a Saab from that angle.

It's probably an American car and I'm making a total fool out of myself right about now.

One does wonder why they removed it...
