Ben Jordan Case 1 Deluxe

[Fisher]

I have played and just LOVE all of the Ben Jordan games. This one was no exception.

Great job and thank you!

I found it a little weird to have no text at first, but I found I actually liked it more.

Thanks very much! Plenty of new stuff to re-enjoy the game!

[MarkPhantom]

Ah, the deluxe version of this excellent game. Superb stuff! Gotta say, I really enjoy the Ben Jordan mysteries...

This was great, a significant improvement on the original. It felt at least 50%more Ben Jordanny.

One question, is this part of a campaign to normalise the wearing of green trousers? We know Ben wears green trousers, but looking at the dead ranger's get-up gives a response along the lines of "he's wearing an ordinary pair of green pants". Ordinary? I hardly ever see people wearing green trousers. Is this the famous question you're surprised no one has asked?

Also, what happened to that scene where Han Solo talks to Jabba?

I loved it, grundislav. It really is a big improvement, and I agree with Ali, a lot more Ben Jordanny. Though the original was fine too . I'm almost finished (I think) with this game.

The voice acting was great. I don't know the names you mentioned in the readme, but I definitely recognized your voice and Disco's. I'd have to say Disco's voice acting was pretty impressive, he owned that character. Also Ranger Rick was awesome. Even though your voice is so easy to recognise, the characters you did sounded like different people. I was a bit dissapointed in Ben Jordan's voice. It wasn't a very strong voice, you know, like I imagined Ben would have. Someone like chicky (as I remember from podcasts) or even yourself could really have played this role. Ben really sounded very weak throughout the game.

The puzzles are also very much improved, haha, I liked the scene with the

Hmm, the one puzzle I was wondering why the

the sharp tooth and arrow head didn't work, but the sign edge did, is it because it's got better grip?

The graphics were more in the styles of your other BJ games and thus more consistent with the series. The comics were really a nice touch and entertaining.

Thanks for an awesome game, grundislav, hope the next one goes well too.
Lastly, did you rip Blanka  :o

Hey all, thanks for the feedback.Ã,  I'm glad people seem to be enjoying the game.

I was a bit dissapointed in Ben Jordan's voice. It wasn't a very strong voice, you know, like I imagined Ben would have. Someone like chicky (as I remember from podcasts) or even yourself could really have played this role. Ben really sounded very weak throughout the game.

To me, Ben sounds pretty much as he does in the game.Ã,  Keep in mind that this is the first case, he's new and eager about the whole thing, so to have him sound bold and confident or with a deeper voice just wouldn't work for me.

Hmm, the one puzzle I was wondering why the

Yes, the sign's edge was filed down to a point, so driving a big pointy stick through the tree would be more effective in making a big hole than small objects like the tooth and arrowhead.

And no, I didn't rip Blanka, but I did use him as reference

Also, I'd like to add that GarageGothic is asking all the right questions.

Looks like someones been playing Laura Bow 2: Dagger of Amon Ra.

I finished it yesterday, it went pretty fast, because I already played the original and the remake before (although I got stuck once and needed to read the hints & tips-thread).

It was great, I really liked it. The comics were drawn very good as well (except maybe one or two panels, but that's no big deal) - I especially liked the image of Ben lying in front of the TV.

However, two minor things weren't as optimal as they could've been to me:

- As said before, Ben's voice. I see that he was supposed to sound unexperienced and young, that was completly okay, but he read some passages way to fast, especially at the end of sentences. I had to activate the written text as well to understand some of his words.
- Having no exits to locations and the need to use the map. That just wasn't expected, I spent half-an-hour to try how to exit the first location, the murder scene. I tried walking around everywhere, I thought I had to do something else there as well, I even tried to look at the map (after all, that should've maybe worked as well).

Anyways, it was nice and I can't wait for a new episode. I finished with full points!

The guy that did Jed has a sexy voice. I bet he's a hottie 

[Scummbuddy]

I alt tabbed out of the game as soon as I could.

OH man. I literally have tears in my eyes from laughing at hearing "Walken" as the Ranger. Nice touch. Its fun to hear you do the voice at Mittens and such, but it fits really well in the game.

I can't wait to hear my job as Ranger Rick. Hope it came out well. btw, I'm Scott in the credits.

Niiice, Cameron.

     I finished played through the deluxe edition last night. I have to say it was very impressive. I liked the voice acting and I have no complaint about Ben's voice. Let's face it guys, he's not exactly the Dirty Harry type. And it his first case and all, he would lack confidence. I think it fit his appearence. Can't wait for number 6!!!

Goo, goo, ga, joob!!!!!!!!!!!

[CosmoQueen]

OMG this looks awesome!!! I'm downloading it now!

[Sythe]

Most enjoyable. Will have to play the rest of the series now

[Tom S. Fox]

HA! Lip-sync! How awesome is that?!? 
And this glimpse into the overall plot is very interesting, too!
Great job!

[Hammerite]

are the ranger and his medicene man brother (cases 1 and 2) important in future cases at all?

[BerserkerTails]

Just started playing earlier, awesome as usual, and I nearly died when I heard the classic Laura Bow "You pick it up, and place it in your purse."

[Scummbuddy]

I died with the "It feeeeeeels like woooood."
