Your gaming interests
What games do you people at Telltale play in your spare time? What games inspire and influence you?
|
Spare time? You're kidding, right? ;)
I think I'd have to say Day of the Tentacle is my all-time favorite. And the Monkey Island series, of course. |
Right now I'm addicted to NHL 2k6, and Guitar Hero...
Curse of Monkey Island was one of my all-time favorites - I was actually a tester on that. My experience working with the developers on that is partly what inspired me to go into writing and design... |
I was in the middle of God of War and Shadow of the Collossus when Kingdom Hearts 2 came out. Now I am playing Kingdom Hearts 2 almost exclusively and also this fantastic downloadable game called Plantasia. Oh and Nintendogs.
I find bits of inspiration in most games I play. But I think games that had a real formative effect on me design-wise were the Quest for Glory series, Wing Commander, and Sid Meier's Pirates! |

Shh...don't tell anyone of my puppy neglect! They might come and take her away! It's not my fault!
(Reaches for her DS to see how big the fleas are) |
Animal Crossing! Animal Crossing! Animal Crossing!
And all the other wierd DS games... |
Even Phoenix Wright?

One of the things that struck me the first time I visited Telltale's office was the big shelf of boxed adventure games. It's a sight to behold. Newish games, LucasArts games like Grim Fandango and Full Throttle and Monkey Island, all the way back to Police Quest and A Mind Forever Voyaging.
We should take a picture of the game boxes and put it up on Telltale's site. I can think of a few people who would get lightheaded and faint just looking at it. |
Ooh, are the games in those boxes available for playing, or are they just decorations?
|
Yes, photos of the office would be great.
|
Oh my goodness. Photos of the office might be dangerous.
|
Only if you leave sufficient evidence for us to track you ;).
|
Yeah. That would be a neat "real life" puzzle game :D

I feel like there might be a hidden alarm or something. :crazy: Or maybe if you pick them off the shelf in the right order, it opens up a secret passageway! |

Maybe that is where the kitchen is. |
Or the sacred never-emptying coffee pot.
|
I'm going to go scope it out.
If you don't hear from me again, it's because I fell in. :crazy: |
Funny that shelf should get mentioned. I just brought home Escape from Monkey Island, which people are often surprised to find out I've never played. Soon I won't be able to claim ignorance any longer.
Apart from that I've been playing a bit of Puzzle Pirates, where I mostly just hang out at the poker tables. And I somehow find time to play a lot of board games - Puerto Rico, TransAmerica, Carcassone, Vino... that sort of thing. As for influential games, I must cite Legend of Zelda for the SNES. I long to design a game as tightly and ingeniously as that. |
