We hope you'll like the game and have fun with it, thank you to the beta testers
for helping us :=
This is a fixed version, there were some minor problems with the previous release,
if you want to continue your game but use this version, you can save in a neutral
place like the park, and restore the savegame in the new version, it should work.
VERSION
-------
V1.1 Fix:
-wrong quote after an action on certain object
-shortcuts while mouse over inventory fixed
-warning/error in tech store removed
-proper game reset
Thank you ;)
!!! I've been waiting for this one! *downloads* .. i'll get back to you after i've played ;D
Oh, this reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago. (Well, it was a SNES, but still...)
Downloading...
I played only 10 minutes and allready think this game is a classic!
Good job guys!
Thanks for listening to my complaint about the mysterious object on the table...
It's much better now ;D
(to explain for outsiders: in the beta version I mentioned I couldn't click on it, play the game to find out what they changed about it)
Great game guys!
Thanks for the release! Been looking forward to this one since you posted about it in games in progress.
Downloading now :)
I'm playing it now. Great game! I love the graphics. And the objects to interact with.... amazing. Puzzles are a bit predictable but still great fun to play.
Update:
Crashed with -:-
Error: run_text_script1: error -6 running function 'room_RepExec':
Error: Array index out of bounds (index: 5, bounds: 0..4)
in "room9.asc", line 135
Keeps appearing in the shop from time to time, not really after an action. Happened even when I was just standing in the shop.
And after the credits, pressing esc brings you back to the start-screen. Choosing NEW there didn't reset the game very well. My piggybank is still on the floor, my 'sister' is still in the bathroom etc.
Downloading now, ill let you know how it goes.
EDIT: Bugger it, i didnt save either, id I'm pretty sure i was almost finished the game...
Good game sofar :D

Seems to be a problem with the shop.
EDIT2: I just realised the name of the "nerd" and the poster are the same lol...
Nice way to depict yourself :P
Thanks everyone for your good words!
We really enjoyed making this game and its more then a pleasure to see people so interested.
good game to all ;D
Thank you for the feedback :D
I'll check what could be wrong with the shop,
and I'll properly reset the game!! (I didn't though about it haha)
Thank you ;)
edit: silly me I know why it bugs! I call an array bigger than it should,
please my excuse it will be fixed as soon as I quit work :=
Oh, poo.
Same error as Leon and Fee.
And I was having fun with it, as well.
It's a cool game.
I'm really really sorry :-X
It will be fixed really soon, if you can save your progress in another
place than the tech store, it should normally work with the new version
since I won't change any global var.
Throw rocks at me... please.. I deserve that :D
I'll do that. :)
Also, minor note...
Straight after I... opened the piggy bank (both times I played), the guy said his "I can't use that" message for no reason.
It's nothing major, but if you're going to be tooling around with the script anyway, you might want to do something about that while you're at it. 8)
Thank you very much! I fixed the piggybank, the Warning in the tech store,
and did a proper reset when the game is finished.
If you want to use this new version save your progress in a neutral place
(like the park) and load it with the newer version, there shouldn't be any
problem. Modification were made only in the hero's room, credits and tech store.
;)
lol. I started downloading your game, when you uploaded the fixed version.. haha oh well.. time to download it again.. can't wait to play it.
edit: HA! this is wicked, so far. Im enjoying it greatly so far! keep up the good work! only issue i had. nothing major, well the save/load and quit gui's are just the standard ones, like i said thats my only beef with it and its only minor haha just abit odd thats all. :D
I'm having real trouble using items on the game world, or giving them... I click "USE" on an INV item, and when I move the cursor back to the game window it resets to WALK mode 9 times out of 10.*
*guesstimate. Didn't bother to check whether it really WAS 9 out of 10.
Had this problem in the original version, checked here, saw there was a new version, downloaded it - same problem. And I'm surprised no one's mentioned it...
didnt happen for me
Maybe it happened. At least it didn't bother me.
Nads - Extremely helpful post. :P
Ok, I found out EXACTLY what is happening - if the mode is set to WALK TO, either by pressing 'W' or by clicking anywhere onscreen, and the player changes the mode via the keyboard shortcuts while the mouse is on the inventory GUI then *the mouse changed BACK to WALK mode when the cursor goes back to the main window*.
I know it sounds obscure, but it was frustrating me terribly before I found it was this arcane. And it happened quite constantly. Might be worth fixing, hmm?
Also, if you press ESC in the title screen, the mouse cursor turns to "LOOK" cursor. It resets properly when you play the game, but still...
Leon - again, I know it's obscure. But it was *severely* bugging me - I *always* pressed 'U' with the cursor over the relevant inventory item, and this pretty much negated it.
glad to be helpful ;D

That explains... I hardly ever use the keyboard. That shows that a game can be interpreted in different ways by different users. :)
Rui 'Trovatore' Pires: Thanks for mentioning this problem, this one is really tricky
since there is an automatic LOOK AT inventory mode when the mouse cursor is
on top of the inventory and when it leaves this area it turns to WALK TO.
I missed this problem during the testing because I don't play with the keyboard
shortcut, I'll try to fix it but I'm afraid it would corrupt your actual savegame since
I'll mess with the globalscript.
Thank you for your help ;)
Trovatore Pires: Ya man, the same was happening for me actually, but i wasnt using the kbrd shortcuts.
Tho it was mainly with the Use X Item on Y it would change.
I was having quite a bit of fun but suddenly when talking to Mario in the store this bug happened:
Error: run_text_script1: error -6 running function 'room_RepExec':
Error: Array index out of bounds (index:5, bounds: 0..4)
in "room9.asc", line 135
Please fix this quickly.
P.S. nice touch with the little Nintendo game thingie, ah the nostalgia!
Next time do Bouncing Babies ;D
Haha Thank you for your kind words we really appreciate :=
v1.1 with all the fixes including keyboard shortcuts working
when the mouse is over inventory, your actual savegame
should still work with this new version.
Thank you all for the bug report, I'm sorry I missed few bugs
before releasing the game, I hope you don't mind downloading
it once again :-[

LOL! Thing is, I added the character Chunk, the mini-game and the shortcuts after
the beta testing ;D
So as I said.. well.. throw rocks at me haha :=
They did a really good job and, once again, Twin Moon rocks ;D

Yes I thought it would be simple, but my lack of sleep and my rush for release
did the bad things :-X
The mini game works fine tho.. I think :=

That was great. The graphics and gameplay were just like the real one....
You might make some more of these oldies .. ;)

- warning/error in tech store removed
Meaning the bug I reported?
The error you reported (in the shop) has been fixed.
Just finished it, and it was a very cool game.
Very nice graphics, music and dialogue throughout.
Congrats, and I look forward to seeing what you do in the future. 8)
Cute game. Only problem I noticed is that often when you're playing the handheld game it will count one parachuter drowning as two. Nice work!
Don't forget to rate NES Quest on the game main page.
Thank you all.
Leon: I forgot to tell you how much I was amazed with the walkthrough you made,
it was amazingly fast haha ;)
Nostradamus: Hi, the version 1.1 should be working fine, there should be no problem
with it (you can also use the new version and load your savegame from there, just make sure
you save your game in the park where no changes has been made) thank you :)
Ultra Magnus: Thank you very much for your kind words we really appreciate ;)
A lovely game! Thoroughly enjoyed playing it. Nice work.
Just completed it and it was a very nice game ;D
Finished this last night as well. Just wanted to say thanks! Definitely was a fun little game. I added my votes to the main page.
I hope you guys do something else sometime soon ( Sega Master System Quest? SNES Quest?) ;-)

Lol first of all thanks,
A sequel such as SNES Quest could be nice, it may sound stupid but to be honest i didn t even think about it ::).
Don't know if i'm authorised to say that (Mr.T is a real dictator believe me, things are not what they seem) but we're getting some very very very rough ideas together for our next game...
Thank you once again, C ya!
PS: To all those who played the game please rate it, to the others... DOWNLOAD IT!!! haha ;)
Yolt1, this is because you never brought me back my light saber..
Shame on you.. ;D
A sequel could be fun, but we already are on something (Yolt1 had
some nice ideas and you will all curse him if we'll make them..)
Thank you very much for your kind words about NES Quest, we really
appreciate, we promise to take account of the "default save/restore/quit"
gui look and "characters animation" remarks for the next game ;)
As far as animation is concerned i'm the one to blame -_-. But as we already said we tried to keep it simple for our first game. Nes Quest enabled us to get more used to the ags engine and to all the things needed in animation for an adventure game. Next will be better... ;)
I've just finish it, great work guys
Well I finished it - the game was a very good effort. Simple story but interesting due to nostalgia, puzzles were mostly classic adventure game puzzles, but it was cool cos they weren't too hard and weren't too easy, great graphics, and that little handheld game was nostalgically (is this a word? ;D) cool. Language & spelling could be better and there could be more witty remarks to interactions but those were good enough. It seems like you guys have great potential to make better and longer games so good luck.
If you were going with authenticity, did you actually hear anyone actually refer to the console as NES back in day? sure, it was written NES as magazines and stuff but at least where I live nobody has ever called the console NES when speaking about, it was only referred to simply as Nintendo. So it didn't feel right to me having people say "NES" instead of "Nintendo" when speaking about it the game.
Also, one thing in the game was kinda lame -
Spoiler
when the mom says "I'll open the cupboard when I'm finished with my work" so you have to exit the house and return - that was really unnecessary! It seems like a desparate attempt to make the game a few seconds longer but it doesn't really do anything, it's just unneccesary. Especially since you also included the feeding the fish thing. That was more logical and it's an acceptable action. No need for 2 stallers of this kind.
Hey Nostradamus thank you very much for your constructive critics we really appreciate ;)
To be honest I reckon back in the day I called my NES "nintendo", but then when the SNES
came out I had to differ both of them and called NES and SNES. (I still have my SNES too btw ;D )
So today, after all those Nintendo products, calling it "Nintendo Quest" would have be too
blurry, we wanted to specify the 8bit console, and everyone would better understand what
the story is about without reading the plot yet (I presume ;D )
Thank you all for your comments, it feels great ;) :=
Excellent game. I still think the fat boy playing the old hand held should have been a part of the quest. Like you have to play the hand held game to obtain an object or something along those lines.
If you guys make a sequel you should definitely make more 'arcade-style in-life moments'. Like when you were told to feed the fish. The fish should have been in a large tank against the wall. The camera should have been at a full view of the tank and then you had to press left or right to control where to drop food (just like the hand held). The food drops slowly to the bottom of the tank, but you have to drop it close to where you think the fish is going to be swimming (as it swims back-and-forth randomly). You only have so many pieces of food, then you have to 'restart' the challenge if you run out, until the fish catches a certain amount of food.
Also like I had mentioned before, a scene where he has to cross a busy street, have a top view of the street. Let the ego move left, right, forward or backward. Then the player has to control where the ego is going to safely cross the street. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyuY_ZwDbXE I love that scene. Of course only do this action once, otherwise it would be too much.
Normally in any other game, this of course wouldn't fit and would be very weird. But in an NES game, it fits perfectly!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this.... is.... so.... cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whoop whoop whoooooooop!
on a much more serious note...
a true classic. I LOVE the graphics. Indeed, people will love this game.
five stars/ten out of ten
congrats!
Ryan Timothy: Haha great suggestions! Believe us we had in mind a game with the Fish ;D
but we wanted the game to stay "short and simple" and we started to think about so many new
mini-games ideas that the game could have been released on May or something :D
The video you linked was funny haha, the idea would have indeed fit very well. A little series of
mini-game would gave a more arcade feel to NES Quest.
But Yolt and I before starting this game, told to each other let's make a short and simple game
to see how it goes. I mean, from experience I understood that if you go too big for the first one
it might get aborted in the end. (because of day job, life obligations and stuff..)
So to avoid this mistake we stayed with a basic concept, made the puzzles around it and in a month
NES Quest was done ;) I assure you the next game we'll make with Yolt will be longer and the
puzzles more interesting. NES Quest was more for all of us who loved oldies, with many props to
games we loved since we are kids :D
Nagania: Hahaha thank you very much! ;)
I finally had the time to play the final release! ;D.
I love it!
And I love the mini game :P.
And the outro is lovely!!!!! :P.
Great game!
And hope you will make another? :P
Peder.
Thanks a lot Peder ;D ;D
We are actually preparing the translation of the game in Spanish and French,
I hope it won't be too painful to script :=
Quick announcement :
Soon NES Quest in french and spanish
Bientot NES quest en francais et en espagnol
Pronto NES Quest en frances y espanol
Tipota akoma sta ellhnika... ;D
I just finished the game.
I liked it. It wasn't very long, but it was very enjoyable form beginning to end.
The minigame was great extra :)!
Hope to see more games from you!
I finished it. It was a fun hour! Very enjoyable game, reminded me of the good ol' days of AGS so I guess it was nostalgic in more ways than you probably intended. Thank you so much for making it!
Excelent game! ;D
But please change the speech font!
I thought I posted an answer but I can't see it so I'll repost it ;)
Thank you all for your kind words, we are really happy you liked it
since it was a short "test" game for us to get familiar with AGS :=
It's odd it seems only Yolt and I love this font haha, we think it fits
well the NES context. Now that we are translating the game we might
change the font a little bit. But we really like the pixelated look :P
Thank you once again for dropping a message we really appreciate :D
the topic of this game is near and dear to my heart.... I'm digging it so far!
GREAT JOB!

hhha... just another geek-o-nostalgic player like us...
Just joking ;D even if it's true that nintendo is a big part of our childhood (and as far as i am concerned still a big part of my life) .
Thanks for your kind words
Nice little game :).
I liked the inclusion of a minigame, good stuff, but yes I would have liked this to been a puzzle related thing (i.e that you had to complete both modes once each at least in order to get an item essential for the game).
My favourite part was the little ending sequence - very nice indeed.
Good work, especially for a first.
Thank you for your kind words ;D
I just wanted to announce that v1.2 is coming, the game is now in
English (default), Spanish (thank you yS) and French.
We changed the font (we had to for French/Spanish char support)
so we really hope the new font will be loved this time haha :D ;D
v1.2 release ;) English (default), Spanish and French translations :=
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/games.php?action=detail&id=1010
Thank you.
Just finished the game... great game, nice visuals.. I did have to use the hints for 3 items
Spoiler
chinese food, melon and extra coin
, all 3 more because they where too much hidden in the background (or next to another item)..
looking forward to seeing another new game... keep up the great work..
Awesome game, haven't finished it yet though. Still looking for the last coin :/
Just wondering, was the gui based on the scumm point 'n click gui I (Zor) developed a few years back?
If so, cool! Nice to see someone making use of it :)
If not, ignore this :P
