Point n Click Adventure GAF 2015 - Back with a vengeance
- Thread starter Card Boy
- Start date
its adventure. Point&click is a pretty specific style of adventure.
But i think it fits fine in the thread as an adventure game.

...ok. Not saying you didn't.
Yes sir! Back in the saddle but this time he did a bit of development. In my interview I am going to pick his brain about returning to music. Not sure he will or has plans to but that will be one aspect of his work we talk about.

God.
Also, one of the most genuinely funny people in the business.
They said it wasn't in development until they finished part 2 of Broken Sword 5, which is both long finished and now available on pretty much every platform known to man. Hopefully they'll announce something at their 25th anniversary celebrations at Gamescom.
i strongly suspect a port release of 3 will get released on gog in the not too distant future.

I was about to load up the ol' ScummVM and play some Fate of Atlantis, but for whatever reason I did a quick google search and found out that Fate of Atlantis is actually included on the Wii release of the 2009 game Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. went over to Gamestop and picked up a copy for a whole two dollars.
playing this classic game on a big tv with a wiimote is pretty awesome. the compression on the voiceovers are a bit jarring, but whatever.
Q: any good point-and-click games on the Wii?

Broken Sword director's cut
Secret Files: Tunguska
Secret Files 2
Another Code: R - This was only released in Japan and Europe. But if you can play imports on you Wii I highly recommend it.
There was also some Telltale stuff released on the Wii, like Sam & Max and Back to the Future.

I was tempted to get the Wii ports of Sam & Max Season One and BTS (surprised they got a retail release) at one point. Wonder if they were any good? Should probably check out Another Code, sometime.

You should get Broken Sword.

Although if you have a pc you should get broken sword on GOG, as you then also get the superior original version as a bonus.
Hm, I could get BS1-4 for under $20 at GOG. Well, I was going to check out the series with 5 first (it's been sitting in my Steam Library since the Humble Bundle), but...

5 is a big quality drop from 2 which in turn is a small quality drop from 1 (2 is as good as one but shorter). So if you start with 5 just don't let it put you off playing one and two at some point.
3 can be tedious as it was an experiment in 3D, while 4 (which remained in 3D) is simply an awful, awful game.
The BS2 SE doen't mess thing up thankfully. I still have no idea what revolution was thinking when they changed the iconic opening of BS1 in the SE.

Finished Technobabylon at the weekend, an absolute joy to play.
First game in ages that I haven't used a guide when stuck too. The advent of the internet has turned me into a wuss when it comes to adventure games.

Ron's going have a store with A Lot Of Books in Thimbleweed Park, you can have a crack at naming one of them at the link.

I just made a thread about this little gem but it'll probably get buried so, as someone suggested, I'm cross posting here.

Building on 2nd place in the 32nd Ludum Dare and made with nostalgic 30 somethings in mind, Badass Inc. is a point and click action game that will take you back.
You're a contract killer; a sleek, stylish, feline predator that trades in scalps and briefcases full of cash. Your mission: eliminate a target for Ludum-Tek in an "unconventional way".
Packing pixelart and a brooding soundtrack, Badass plunges you into a city wracked with desperation. Revel in the apathy of the protagonist as you work through situational puzzles, interspersed with cinematic action scenes and tense shootouts. It's an in and out job, take out the target and get paid, right?
It's short but really good and the music is fantastic!
Wow, this is really cool.
Seconded. One of the absolute best adventure games ever made. If you like adventures, you must play BS1.
I also agree with this. The originals are better than the DCs.
That was freaking fantastic.

PS4 here. Countdown indicates it unlocks at midnight EST.
I probably won't stay up to play though. Pre-load is not available and my Internet speed is mediocre...
edit: ****, just realized pre-load was available.

Someone sell me on these games, as I'm not that much into horror themed games, especially fi they are cthulhu inspired ^^;

So growing up on LucasArts adventure games, I didn't really play many adventure games from Sierra, except Gabriel Knight. The new King's Quest just looks so good that I decided that I should finally get into the series. Since, the episodic formula doesn't really work for me, (I have decided to wait until all episodes are released for Kentucky Route Zero, Dreamfall Chapters and Life is Strange because I forget a lot of things between episodes), I have decided to revisit the KQ series from the beginning. So I picked up KQ IV-VI during the Gog summer sale and downloaded the first three remakes by AGDI.
I played through King's Quest I remake last night and I was really impressed with how well done it was, especially considering it was released for free. The option to turn off dead ends is great, and although I used the walkthrough a few times, I didn't find it too frustrating. I just loaded up the King's Quest II remake, and I can already tell I am going to enjoy my time with it.
Has anyone played The Silver Lining games? I guess since they are free, I might as well give them a shot. If they are good, then I will definitely have enough King's Quest games to go through as I wait for all the episodes to be released and hopefully King's Quest will be released on Gog.

They're pretty good, but you have to be willing to forgive a few things. The art is probably PS1/Early PS2 era. Lots of chunky polygons. The controls are a little clunky in the "action" scenes.
The story is pretty good, if maybe a touch over dramatic, but the characters are loveable and the voice acting is great.
The major downside - they have only released four episodes of a five episode series, and episode four came out a couple years ago. Last I heard, they claimed to still be working on it, but AFAIK, there hasn't been any new news in quite a while.
If the last chapter ever comes out, though, I'll definitely play it. It seemed like a nice capstone to the series and tied all of the games (yes, even Mask of Eternity,) together nicely.
The silver lining....well.... Its a nice effort but it plays like fan fiction... and puzzles are not good. And the last episode of it still isnt out. I imagine the last episode of the new KQ will get released before the last episode of the silver lining.
I stand corrected. I just went to the Silver Lining site, and apparently there was an update from the end of May, saying that the last episode was playable from start to finish. Maybe it will come out this year, after all.
I do agree with the bolded. It does feel like someone's KQ fanfic got made into a game. (Hence the overdramatic touch,) but I've gone far enough into it that I would like to see how it ends.
And there's the Hassan and Graham radio show, which is kind of funny.

hmm well thats good if thats the case. I know that they handed development off to another team within their group. And it has just felt like its in limbo.

New article with Tim Schafer about the creation of Full Throttle.
And I don't know if anyone else has been looking forward to Dropsy, but it's coming out on September 10th. And it's official site.

Anyone remember Beavis and Butthead: Virtual Stupidity from the mid-90's?
Had a blast with that game back in the day and am considering purchasing it off of EBay. I need to do some research and see if anyone's gotten it working on any modern OS's, or if it's lost to the ether forever.

I was a huge fan of Beavis and Butt-Head (still am, I guess) and loved Virtual Stupidity.
Big fan of Duckman, too, but never played the adventure game. I wish GOG would get a hold of both games and fix them up for modern operating systems.

Been looking forward to this. The animation makes me nostalgic for the days of DOTT.
Whoa, I felt like I'd taken crazy pills watching that. Might have to give that a try.
