What old movie/t.v show/book should be made into an AGS game?

[Eggie]

Sorry to derail the topic further but don't you HATE it when there's a windows game that just uses DOS for one tiny little function to open the game and you can't run it with ANYTHING...

Blaarrgghh.

Oh, and Telltale's next license should be Rocky & Bullwinkle.
Jus' sayin'.

Yeah, QfG4 did have a dos installer as well, but the speed (of stuff like messages) was too fast, and slowing it down in Dosbox made other stuff weird to use.

Thanks for the link, Progz. Some of those do work, and for others, I'll if I can contact the guy.

There is a dos version of quest for glory 4 as well as the cd (windows) version.  Both play exactly the same so you could try finding the dos version.  Google to the rescue!

Hmmm Don't know about later versions. But my CD (bug ridden when no patch was applied) version of QFG4 definitely worked in DOS. I think it may work also in windows though.

Messages going by too fast in QFG4 probably has to do with not being able to play the voices. The text goes away automatically when the voice clip ends, and if the clip fails to play at all it goes away immediately. If I remember this correctly, you need to make sure that the CD can be read by the game (in DOSbox you need to mount the CD or CD image properly inside the environment)--and set the soundcard settings correctly, of course. Or you could just turn off voices in the game settings (but don't do that, because they're funny).

The DOS version of QFG4 is preferable, if only because of the beautiful, animated cursors.

I;d love a Dirk Gently game for a change..

[GarageGothic]

A game based on the Fletch novels would also be awesome.

[Akatosh]

It's by no means old, but The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello is pretty damn great, with a capital GREAT.

[arj0n]

Argai: The Prophecy would be nice as an ags adventure game.
Loved that serie when it was on TV around 2002 or something...


Anyone remember?

I thnik that the Czechoslovakian show "...A je to"(...and that's it), also known as Pat & Mat should be made as an adventure game. It's about two friends who always try to make things by themselves and manage to make them eventualy.

Id like to see The Dig as a game, the book version..

Id also love to see the comics Tintin and Lucky Luke as games.
Some of the first series of LOST could be interesting as a game.

MacGyver!!

Also Id love to see a game of the book series: "HORNGUDENS TALE" (The Tale of the Antlered God) by a norwegian writer.

I believe that the Eragon series could be an awesome AG.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned making a game from the show Firefly.

I have been thinking about making [wanting to make] the game for years ... Even made some sprites:


Some of the action-y sequences might not make a good adventure game ... but the heist/thieving stuff could be really effective.  Planning heists, then executing them, solving all the puzzles, etc.  Now I just need to finish my other two games first ... so I'll make my Firefly game by 2021.

[heribertovalle]

A game based on "The man who was Thursday" by Gilbert Keith Chesterton! Imagine the potential of that!

[Stupot]

If they haven't already been done, I think Enid Blyton's Secret Seven or Famous Five would make tasty Adventure game adaptations.  If I had the skills I wouldn't be posting this, I would have already started making the first game.

I'm a fan of Enid Blyton's Famous Five.
I have all the books (collected a long time ago) and also the 2 dvd's
