Psych would make a great adventure game. What other shows would you recommend?

Knightmare.

This one's a no brainer. I mean, it was a TV gameshow based on 80s adventure games. I'm honestly amazed no British AGSers have given this one a shot by now.

The Dresden Files. It's about a wizard who helps solve crime involving magic. It's not as lame as it sounds. It's actually well written and executed. Too bad they only made one season though.

Sounds similar to another show "Moonlight" about Mick St John, a Vampire private investigator who helped solve crimes which involved vampires and the supernatural, also not a bad show. unfortunately aain they only ever made one season... Kinda sad too because they had a whole petition to make a second one but nohing ever came rm it and it just died.

I own Moonlight on DVD. It's pretty good but I've watched it so many times that I am sick of it.

I absolutely love Supernatural. Part of the reason I like the Ben Jordan series is because it's quite similar to Supernatural, the Dresden Files, Moonlight, Charmed...

If i like the moonlight series, should i look into desden, is it similar that i woud like it, because i also love supernatural (the tv show and the thing itself), in fact i'm writing a book which is a collection of academic research essays i did in my free time into the eptimology and historical origins of the most popualar supernatural creatures. It is also whih drew me to play the Ben Jordan series and a lot of the monsters in my game have folklorish origins, the Banshee (Irish Gaelic origins), Ghoul (romanian), tho i took a lot of poetic licence.

But back on topic, I think for a bit of humor, the flonstones would make an interesting adventure game. jsut the way every device is manufactured in the series (use of dinosaurs to make moving machinary etc.) would make for some interesting puzzles

You would like the Dresden Files. It falls into the paranormal investigator genre very much like Supernatural.

There was a really good, but underrated, show called Jerihco. The first season was really cool, the second one not so much. Anyway, the story would do an excellent game.

Maybe a MAGS competition should be based on one of these types of games...

Interesting idea.

Interesting idea.

If I had the talent to win (Or even join) a MAGS competition, I would suggest this as the new theme.

I used to love that show when I was a kid!
Still sing the theme tune to myself once in a while

Someone should definitely make a Knightmare game.

Sadly I have never seen that show.

Has no one even thought of Twin Peaks.

I want Twin Peaks - The Adventure Game.

If you own an Xbox 360, do yourself a favor and get Deadly Premonition. It'll blow your mind. Best written player character ever, and a damn fine attempt at emulating everything that made Twin Peaks cool without straight-out copying it.

xenogia · Tue 11/01/2011 23:32:39

I knew someone would mention Deadly Premonition. I have Red Seeds Profile for the PS3 as I don't own an xbox 360. Oh it is a fantastic game, but I want true point-n-click Twin Peaks.

Well Deadly premonition sounds interesting...but then again:

Maybe 2012 could be the "Year of the TV Shows" for MAGS. Each month could be a different TV show - previously voted on after the last month is decided. Unlikely since it's an entire year devoted to TV shows, but it's an idea.

It all boils down to personal liking or whether or not you've even seen the show. Yes, this idea was a bit silly, I'm sure. Don't worry, you, this post will go unnoticed anyway.

I like the idea. Perhaps starting up another type of competition, such as, atv, AGS TV show competition.
