Adventure game scene... uh, game

[Captain Blondebeard]

Ok, I show a game scene and you guys try to fugure out which one it is. The one who figures it out gets to choose another scene and so on. Their is lots of ways to cheat but lets keep it clean.

[Intrepid Homoludens]

Erm......Doom 3?








:D

[Aj_]

Host the pic yourself, that was far too easy to cheat.

[SamNMax]

Eric the Unready. No cheat.

[Captain Blondebeard]

Eric the Unready. No cheat.
Choose a game scene.

[Captain Blondebeard]

Erm......Doom 3?








:D
My fist guess would have been Wolfenstien 3d. She is obviously an undead nazi.

... You guys suck at this.

[Captain Blondebeard]

I'm tempted to cheat.

[SamNMax]

Ya can't. Photobucket, biatch.

One of the best game introduction ever. :)

[Captain Blondebeard]

One of the best game introduction ever. :)
You said it.

[SamNMax]

Step it up, bitches.

[Karmillo]

Would that clock in the corner perhaps be a clue? i have to say ive never played that game but it looks like it may be a FMV game

[Captain Blondebeard]

How about a hint?

[Boneho Chane]

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b5/larrylegend33/museumfs.jpg

That looks sweet. It looks like it takes place in a museum. Like a Ripley's Believe it Or Not Museum? Ah, I'm probably way off.

[SamNMax]

How about a hint?

The game was based off a TV show. It was a horror game, and probably the only game that sucessfully scared the shit out of me.

Yes, one area of the game is a museum. This screen is part of that area.

Ripley's Believe or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu.

What was so scary about it?

[AFGNCAAP]

Ripley's Believe or Not!: The Riddle of Master Lu.
Totally not.

[SamNMax]

You're all noobs and suck at the advanteners.

[Boneho Chane]

Totally not.

:( Oh well. I've never played that game, and I figured since it was based on a TV show and had a meusume, that's what it was.

[Captain Blondebeard]

You're all noobs and suck at the advanteners.
What do we suck at?

[SamNMax]

What are you, deaf? I said adventeners.

[The Seed]

It's "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". I think.

[Kehoe]

What are you, deaf? I said adventeners.

Try that one again

[EvilMulder]

Shivers?

[SamNMax]

It's "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". I think.

FOR TEH WIN!

[Boneho Chane]

Woah. A Nickelodean show that made a successfully spooky and high quality adventure game?

That IS scary. ;)

[Captain Blondebeard]

It's "Are You Afraid of the Dark?". I think.
Post a screen.

[The Seed]

I can't think of anything that wouldn't be obvious, can I nominate someone else instead?

[Captain Blondebeard]

It can be obvious. It is kind of a way to express your taste in games.

[SamNMax]

Woah. A Nickelodean show that made a successfully spooky and high quality adventure game?

That IS scary. ;)

Seriously. It was great. There was so much to interact with, so many areas to explore, and danger at every turn. It is, to this day, the scariest game I've ever played. All of the apperations and the chilling voices that came out of nowhere. I remember all these things happening at the most random times. There was a portrait of of the main villain, Orpheo, in some room. I clicked on it, nothing happened. I turned back to exit, but something told me to look back. The eyes were seeping blood and the creepiest laugh I've ever heard came out of nowhere. Yeah, it's a pretty cheap trick, but the production values, the incredible audio, and the atmosphere make this game one of the scariest ever created.

Sounds awesome! I still can't believe it's based on a show I saw as a little kid though.

[The Seed]

Ok i'm just working on something now, will post it soon.

[SamNMax]

Sounds awesome! I still can't believe it's based on a show I saw as a little kid though.

I loved that show, too.

[The Seed]

Alrighty, I wouldn't exactly say this reflects my taste in adventure games, but anyway....

[SamNMax]

OH, SHI

Zork?

[Captain Blondebeard]

SamnMax- how on earth can you know these games at age 14? I mean, even if the answer isnt Zork just fact that you recognized Zork as a text only adventure is impressive.

[SamNMax]

'Cause fo' fo's I'm still tippin'
Purple drank I'm still sippin'.

[The Seed]

:shifty:
Well anyway, you'r pretty much right, well done.

[Boneho Chane]

'Cause fo' fo's I'm still tippin'

I dig.

[SamNMax]

My next pic might take a while. I gotta go somewhere.

[SamNMax]

Dammit another one I dont know, although i remember reading a review on it...

[SamNMax]

Clue: It's German, it's supposedly awesome.

Where did you take that shot from? Whoever made this screenshot should have used DOSBox, then the ANSI shit wouldn't look like gibberish. I found that out with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[SamNMax]

I don't expect anyone to get this, so if anyone wants me to just say it...

[Melanie68]

I don't expect anyone to get this, so if anyone wants me to just say it...

Tsarevna??

[Aurebesh]

Tsarevna??
I thought so too, but isn't Tsarevna a russian game?

[Sage]

Even more impressive, SamNMax is correct- That's the opening scene of Zork.

ScottMate

[SamNMax]

Thank you, Scott. We've already established that.

Tsarevna??

Nope.

[Captain Blondebeard]

Does anyone else want to string Sam N Max up?

[Melanie68]

Thank you, Scott. We've already established that.



Nope.

Damn.
:frusty:

another hint?

[SamNMax]

Uh... There really isn't a lot to say...

How 'bout I just give it to you?

[kasus]

Uh... There really isn't a lot to say...

How 'bout I just give it to you?

Not yet, more hints please mate.
u 100% sure its german?

[SamNMax]

Yes. I really can't think of more hints. It's about this guy and his girlfriend who get mugged up by some muggers and the guy is warped back in the pirate days. The game has multiple endings.

[kasus]

Well i can say i never played it , thats for sure.
Racked my brain, and google , but couldnt cme up with anything that looked and sounded like u described sam'n'max.

I give up.
anyone else?

[Jackal]

It's Verschollen auf Lost Island, but I'm passing on posting a new pic. Next poster gets dibs. :)

[VoodooFX]

Missing on lost island? :D :r

[SamNMax]

Yep.

[kasus]

big up Jackal (member.php?u=150).
now hook us up with a new pic VoodooFx.

[Sage]

Thank you, Scott. We've already established that.
You've known me for how many months and you're just now noticing that I'm about three beats behind in every conversation? Just imagine what I must be like in person. ;)

Scott...*duh*...Mate

[Captain Blondebeard]

No english for that game? Too bad.

[Captain Blondebeard]

I'll post a pic. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a186/noname1111/WTP_5.jpg

[samIamsad]

That style seems very familiar. It's definitely a game from Coktel Vision. Not one of the Goblins games, therefore it must be...

Emanuelle. :D

Kidding.

Ween?

[SamNMax]

OH SNAPE, ya got me on this one.

[Captain Blondebeard]

That style seems very familiar. It's definitely a game from Coktel Vision. Not one of the Goblins games, therefore it must be...

It indeed is Ween. Very good. One of Sierras lesser known gems.

Wow. I've never actually played it myself, actually. :D

Nevertheless, onto the next one. IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently I don't have an opportunity to upload anything, so please don't cheat. It'll be more fun this way. Okay, this is probably gonna be a bit hard for our youngsters. Take a deep breath and follow me down the rabbit hole into the world of 64K machines, 8 bit and 5 minutes loading time per game. Ready? Here we go:


http://www.crashonline.org.uk/44/images/stifflip2.gif

[SamNMax]

Is that a text adventure, or what?

[samIamsad]

I just googled for a review and let those journos do the talking: ;)

I haven't enjoyed an icon-driven adventure so much since The Fourth Protocol was released..

edit - No, you didn't have to enter any sorts of text whatsoever. You just clicked the icons on the left and stuff.

[Fien]

No english for that game? Too bad.

You mean Missing on Lost Island? That's entirely in English. You may find it on German ebay for a few dollars.

Hmm... it's a bit weird in places. Hard to explain. I didn't like it very much, but that's just me. It was a forgettable experience. But if you're desperate for something to play, and I guess you are... :D

[Fien]

Well, what do you know... not a single copy of Verschollen/Missing on Lost Island on ebay. Gametz used to be flooded with them. But if you're interested in this old-school adventure, you can still buy it at http://www.gamepad.de/shop/

It's definetly a Spectrum game and wasn;t it called Stifflip & Co or something like that.

[samIamsad]

...and the winner is... :D
(ever finished it, Lucien?)

For a final laugh, here's the plot outline (quoted from the very same review):

Land of Hope and Glory, cold rice pudding, wet Sundays in Manchester and long queues at the Post Office have all helped make Britain the country it is today. But above all these stands one item that has truly put the Great in Great Britain - the cricket ball. This tremendously hard orb, which can smite a human body with such force that it hurts even through a foot of mattressing, has beaten the British character into shape.

But now evil is in the air - the dastardly Count Chameleon has plans to change a cricket ball's bounce with the help of his rubber-tronic ray. This bounder must be boweled a bouncer if he is to be stopped, and Viscount Sebastian Stifflip, Professor Braindeath, Colonel R G Bargie and Miss Palmyra Primbottom are the team to do it.


:D

Very British, eh? Man, THOSE were the days!

[smashing]

Hmm... it's a bit weird in places. Hard to explain. I didn't like it very much, but that's just me. It was a forgettable experience. But if you're desperate for something to play, and I guess you are... :D

I gave up on the translation 3 hours into gameplay... it's not a desirable game in my books.

Oh my....

This may be the first ever graphical adventure game I ever played, this image alone brings me so much nostalgia.

I remember playing this on my C64, would have been 8 years old, this is the one game that actually SCARED me when i was playing it, especially with the page turn and *BAM* bad guy! I can't believe i have forgotten about this masterpiece.

Thank you for posting this and reminding me of my past. I'm off to load up a C64 emulator with this game :)

[Karmillo]

Ok since no-one else has posted one ill just go ahead, cause i like this thread :D

Correct.

And here was me thinking it might be a tricky one considering that it's a game that was technically never released. :)

Anyway, feel free to post an image.

I gotta go now, but someone else can post an image.

It was the simon the sorcerer 3 Adventure soft originaly started working on when the publisher told them they wanted a 3D game, so they had to scrap it and bring out SS3D wich lacked allot of what was promised :frown:

[Karmillo]

No thats just a backdrop, they never got round to adding characters (atleast I dont think they did) and maybe it was released, and only given to a selected few :P

is it either means streets or martin memorandum?

Martian Memorandum

Yes, very good.

yeah i had that problem aswell, but as I rehosted the image on photobucket and got ready to post it suddenly appeared :crazy:

Heh, I wondered if you'd see that. I wanted to write that participation is not allowed for Fienepien, but I forgot. Well, Jacques l'aliéné got that too so never mind.

Not The Riddle of Master Lu, is it? I remember it has a zeppelin bit in the intro.

[SamNMax]

No. Why does everybody keep saying that?

[Jazhara7]

I think it must be "Schizm".


Took me ages to figure out that puzzle.

[SamNMax]

Oh, you're pretty sure about that, aren't you? Nope.

Oh, you're pretty sure about that, aren't you? Nope.


Not really. Also, I just remembered they looked like fish (and looked as though constructed partly from fish bones, too).

Maybe it would be better if you just droped some cryptic hints, rather than actually giving it away.

[SamNMax]

Maybe it would be better if you just droped some cryptic hints, rather than actually giving it away.

There's not a lot of hints that would be helpful, but:

1) It's a Myst clone

2) The objective is to discover the mysteries of evelution and trying to save humanity from extinction.

3) Developed in Hong Kong

Hong Kong ? Then it has to be 'Comer' from Shine Studios. I ahve two of their games. This one and 'Saints Of Virtue' and I haven't played either yet. :frown:

[SamNMax]

Good work, sleuth. Post a screen.

Hmmm ! Okay. Try this one then ;

Hm. I can never tell Myst clones apart. That's not QIN: Tomb Of The Middle Kingdom, is it?

[Jacques l'aliéné]

Hm. I can never tell Myst clones apart. That's not QIN: Tomb Of The Middle Kingdom, is it?

No. It's regarded as being a pretty good game. Edit : Not that I'm saying that 'Qin' isn't.

I think there are, or were, two different Shine Studios. Comer was a one-man indie game, sold from his web site. He made just the one game. A true Mystian adventure. I liked it. No longer available. The web site and its owner have now disappeared into thin air.

What's so bad about that ? :frown:

They don't have a story, they have a MESSAGE they force down your throat. :spam: :r

If they don't have a Christian MESSAGE, they're not Christian games in my book, just games.

The Neverhood has a couple of subtly or even obviously Christian themes, I have no problem with that at all. It's a funny, original, creative game, one of my favorites.

You do, of course, have a right to hold your own opinion. So do I, I suppose. I believe that many such games, books, movies, etc., can also be well-intentioned, especially for those that want that sort of 'experience'. Whether it's a Christian 'message' game, or a 'Hindu', 'Muslim' or 'Buddhism' -themed game, I certainly don't have a strong and emotive opinion either way on the subject of such games. They're just games with a different theme. For those that want to play them for one reason, or another, that's fine by me. Some people might see them as another form of edutainment game. Their ALL just games, and the Christian type games are, after all, usually advertised as such. That's probably far, far better than subliminal 'messages' in games, I'd have thought. :)

Anyway. Any idea of what game the screenshot is from then ?? :D

[MdaG]

Broken Sword 1 is a nice christian game :D

[Fien]

You do, of course, have a right to hold your own opinion.

You asked a question. I answered it.

They're just games with a different theme.

The difference between a game with a MESSAGE and a game with Christian themes or overtones is unmistakable.

Wait... I already said that.

BTW, I didn't recognize you before. I guess I should have.

[SamNMax]

I don't know. Reah?

I don't know. Chemicus: Journey to the Other Side?

Okay. Here's a Google-able clue :

"What do you do when Legend becomes reality? Seek the ******* ***"

Hey, you gave me permission to Google... *whistles innocently*

The Dig

I think.

I deleted my original pic post since I was going to change it, but since you've already guessed part of it, I'll put it back up.

[Karmillo]

The Dig 3.5.8?

[ATMachine]

No, what I meant was something along the lines of "from which project leader's Dig was this image taken?"

[Aurebesh]

I'm not picking a winner until someone gives me a specific Dig version :devil:
Brian Moriaty's The DIG?

[ATMachine]

Good guess! Now that I think about it, I should've posted something from the alpha version of Sean Clark's design, just to confuse you....

...nah, that would have been just too evil. :)

[Aurebesh]

Ok, here's a nice one:

[dazsin]

erm, surely the clue is in the screenshot? :)

[Aurebesh]

What clue?!

[Ninth]

No.

The "clue" you see is a lure...
In SQ4 you travel in time, through other Space Quests.

EDIT: Hm. Not sure if I can use "lure" like that... :crazy:

No.

I thought so. Oh well...

What's a red herring, by the way? I mean, where does this expression come from?

[Jazhara7]

I thought so. Oh well...

What's a red herring, by the way? I mean, where does this expression come from?


The phrase is believed to originate from the practice of saving a hunted fox by dragging a red herring across its trail to cause the pursuing hounds to lose the true scent and follow the false odor of herring instead.

And a red herring in particular is a herring that has been dried and smoked (which turns it red).

Young, new herring... gutted, salted and put on ice at sea... dip it in raw chopped onion, hold it by the tail, throw back your head and savor it raw. :9 A national treat in Holland. :9~

Deja Vue?

[Boneho Chane]

Deja Vue?

I know, I have same feeling. ;)

[Stroggy]

Alright, a hint then: the developer of this game was also involved in creating the game "Spirit of Adventure"

[Karmillo]

All in due time...

Im gonna take a wild guess and say "Ooze: Creepy Nights"

[samIamsad]

Crime Time! (lol@ Boneho Chane) :D

[Stroggy]

Crime Time!
correct!

[samIamsad]

Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now. ;( Okay, wait a minute. (Again, I can't upload). What's the point in cheating anyway? :D

Hugo House of Horror 3: Directors Cut?

[SamNMax]

That's not Heart of China, is it?

[Aurebesh]

You're both wrong

[Jacques l'aliéné]

That's not 'Backpacker' again, is it ? :)

[Aurebesh]

No. While it is the best adventure game I played this year (and I played every adventure game that went out this year), I wouldn't go so far as to post it twice on this thread!

[Karmillo]

No. While it is the best adventure game I played this year (and I played every adventure game that went out this year), I wouldn't go so far as to post it twice on this thread!
Perhaps you could add a little riddle on to give us a clue of some sort?

[Aurebesh]

Karmillo, what you quoted is my reply to what Jacques l'aliéné said about Backpacker. Backpacker is the best adventure I played this year, NOT the adveture I'm asking about.

Ok, here's a small clue for starters, if it won't help I'll post another one: This is actually a 3rd person, point n' click adventure game. What you see is from an early scene (the score is still 0), and you don't actually have to play a flight simulator. The health bar is there because there are some arcade sequences in the game.

[VoodooFX]

Hairyarms Harry: Flight of the Amazon King :D

[Aurebesh]

I hate to see this thread die because of me, so here's a fat hint: it's an Australian adventure game...

[Fien]

I recognized it straight away... but I don't want to post a new pic. :shifty:

Down Under Dan, just before Dan is hit by the flying emu...;)

No problem. So you post one. Much better anyway.

[SamNMax]

Wild guess: The Arrival.

[Fien]

Not The Arrival... but the science fiction part is correct.
Women have taken over the world and you are the only man around. Heaven :kiss: or Hell :pan: ?

:D :D :D

[Dark Veil]

No problem. So you post one. Much better anyway.

Sure thing! (Never to refuse a request from a lovely lady :D)
here's mine:

Probably the easiest one in this thread but I'm unable to come up with anything better at the moment... :(

So now we have the hard route and the easy way out.
What's it gonna be guys/galls?

[Stroggy]

Discworld Noir?

You need to enclose the link in [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] tags (without the spaces).

I really did that, I'm sure of it!

*checks to see if he's right...*

I really did do that!
(Guess it has something to do with my image-host then...)


P.S. Sorry, it's not Discworld Noir (which was a much better game actually), time-period is about right though

[Karmillo]

(Guess it has something to do with my image-host then...)


I dont think that was the problem. I didnt re host it i just stuck it in the [IMG] tag

I think it's because you used the link to the view page of the picture. Photobucket lets you display ready to go code below the pictures in your album. You can change it in the settings.

Thanks Jazzie! :)

[Karmillo]

Someone must know what game this is, perhaps a horrorsoft one?
and did someone name the Sci-Fi game pic before that?

Darkie

[Terramax]

Not "Mystery of the Druids"?

[Dark Veil]

Sorry, nope.
Here's a hint: Year of release = 1998

[SamNMax]

That kind of looks like The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin

[Fairygdmther]

I don't know if you're right SNM, but that's exactly what it looks like!

Lynsie

[Dark Veil]

Well I know he's wrong unfortunately... :(

This has proven to be harder then it looks (either that or no-one's interested)
so here's another hint:

"There's a colour mentioned in the title of this game..."

[Fien]

"There's a colour mentioned in the title of this game..."

A color... hm.

It's not Blue Ice.
It's not Blue Heat.
It's not Black Dahlia.
It's not Golden Gate. Does golden count as a color?
I've run out of colors. :frusty:

In Search of the Golden Dolphin? That could be a captain's hand. :D

[Karmillo]

Blunch Black of Blotre Blam?

[Dark Veil]

Blunch Black of Blotre Blam?

HarHarHar! :D

[guybrush122]

Redguard!!! REDGUARD!!

[Dark Veil]

Arrr! Close Matey! Verrry close....

but alas 't is still wrong.

[AFGNCAAP]

Redjack?

[Dark Veil]

Redjack?

DingDingDing! Ladies and Gentleman, we have a winner.

AFGNCAAP, the floor is yours...

[AFGNCAAP]

Needless to say, it was the "arr, matey" + "Red_" combination that made me guess; I haven't played the game... :D

Gimme a minute.
