He he, I had almost forgotten about that scene, and it isn’t even more than about a year since I replayed TLJ.

So the only options left are cutting back on sleep or work. Tongue

There you go, you already know the solution to your problem, now you just have to execute it Tongue


And back on topic: I have never played The Neverhood, and I got bored with Machinarium about 1/3 - 1/2 through and never finished it, so I also can’t vote this time, at least not in good conscience.

Not sustainable, I need my income and my sanity. Grin


And now I notice that The Neverhood won 10-7. When did the poll end, Advie?

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka

Nonsence. Sanity is overrated. Your family will love you either way. Tongue

Machinarium’s major weakness is that it’s a really small game. It can be finished in a 5-6 hour session (thus not a good choice for an AGCP, but perfect for someone with a schedule like yours).

The Android version is the superior one IMHO.

strange this question coming from you! as you were the one who confirmed/wrote those Cage Matches rules, at the Recommendations Thread>Cage Matches overview.

anyways, it ended a week after the original post, post time.

I haven’t played Neverhood (shame shame shame), but I loved Machinarium so much.

it is just like you say, Sefir! .  i am* experiencing it on my Android phone.. and IT IS such greater than my earlier PC experience, but my* only tiresome is (my mobile ) that the screen size is only 480 x 800 and due to this,  changing Joseph size (to shorter/taller) is sometimes just terrible to make happen (on the spot).
But apart from this,  i am enjoying it to the max… very advisable to tryout the Android version, indeed!

uh sorry for the loss of your Avatar.  congratulations Speedbo Wink  Tongue Pan  Pan

You are welcome Advie! Smile

I always experience Android games through my 1280x800 tablet display resolution though, thus I hope the game doesn’t become tiresome for you or something. The smooth graphics will certainly help…

(and now that I think of it, an Android version of The Neverhood would have been great too…)

I haven’t tried it myself, but ScummVM supports the Neverhood, and ScummVM also works with android.

You are right! It works. Not perfectly well (have to use the cursor/touchscreen combination), but it works anyway. Thanks!!

EDIT: Nice background change btw.

CPTs are a great way to play games - honestly, compared to play web RPGs - I enjoy these a lot more. Also more fun than an adventure game solo also.

I will vote for Machinarium for a CPT, it is one of the greatest adventure games ever and a CPT would be a riot!

     

I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.

The easy way to fix is - is to combine Machinarium with Botanicula for a combined playthrough. The casual gamers have combined some short ones together like this to great success.

Machinarium is a classic and so is its spiritual successor Botanicula - so we can play both together and have a great time.

I like the idea actually.
Let’s propose this after the current Syberia 2 AGCP ends.
