Holy crap! That's good shit.

Get the talkie version though, well worth it!

I remember Stamatadis said they wouldn't allow any fan remakes once, though.

This is one of the best adventure games I ever played. One of the few adventure games with a good maze.
Download it, play it, finnish it and you will be a happier person.

Great news! I remember playing the demo years ago, but I never got around to buying it. And there's a talkie version too? Whoo-hoo, I'm there! Thank god for the 1Mb connection at my uni.

FOTAQ was okay in a campy kinda way.

Yay, I seem to remember it even had a crossdressing puzzle! ;)

And that gorilla scene is just hilarious.

I always liked that game. Now it's great to be able to play it with the speech.

What a nice game.  It has the best lost puzzle-filled temple ever.

It will definitely work on XP, the good people who contribute to ScummVM make sure of that:

it's not funny at all, it's a stupid waste of time, and repeating it later on in the game is another stupid waste of time, apart from that the game is good... ish...

actually, it's given me a great idea!

I just got round to finishing this one, never heard of it before this thread.

It was pretty good I thought, and the temple thingy at the end was rather hard, and tedious, but feels good to complete.

I thought it was Indiana Jones in Jurassic Park

Actually I'll say the temple part was just annoying, not really hard, it just adds up to the length of the game.

In my opinion this game is quite entertaining and has good length, lots of stuffs to do, and it's packed with nearly everything, which is one weak point of the game (apart from the silly story and lame jokes), so I'll say this game is worth a try, but it's definately not a good game, just fun, period.

Also that irritating walking speed and that you need to walk to and fro scenes (I think if I knew what to do better beforehand I can walk less though) lengthens the game drastically. :P
