General Discussion / Great Al Lowe Interview
Fri 14/09/2012 16:12:06
Im guessing a lot of people may already listen to the podcast All Gen Gamers but if you dont there is a nice treat for Leisure Suit Larry/Sierra Fans.

Al Lowe creator of Leisure Suit Larry talk for the best part of 2 hours about LSL and his time at sierra and is pretty much given the floor for the whole show.

One of the hosts is an ex sierra employee also and is how they scored such a great guest.

I was given a Gateway 500 a few years back for spares for my old PC it doesn't have any ram as i put that in my old PC. Apparently there was a problem with the bit that goes to the monitor but I'm not sure if thats correct. It has a DVD Reader and a Zip 100 Drive it also has a floppy Drive as well. The PC is very large so posting it is a no go so whoever wanted it would have to pick it up in a car or van. I live in the Lincolnshire Area of England and i will give whoever wants this my address and arrange a time to collect.

I also have an Albatron KX400+ Via KT333 Motherboard with cooling fan and manual which was given to me. The motherboard appears to have a on board graphics card and processor.

They are never going to be used by me and are just taking up room in my already over crowded house so whoever wants the bits can take it for free.

Ill also throw in a retro Performance joystick if you want

I also discovered my old Iomega 100 USB External Zip drive minus the power adapter and usb cable which ill give away as well

Please only post if its directly related to wanting or enqiring about the bits because i offered this on another forum and it ended up being full off replies about how little they know about pc internals and has steered way to far off topic. Plus i keep checking and thinking theres interest and it turns out it isnt.

Hi does anyone have a walkthrough for Jack the Ripper - Solve The Mystery (Gametek) 1994. Not the Adventure Company Jack the Ripper. Ive only found one premise before the time ran out.

In C.O.A.C.B you play the role of a cat named Frank who also happens to be a burglar.

Upon being caught by the police he tells them about a burglary but rather than him just saying evrything you act it out.Sort of a flashback if you wish.

Ill post some screenies later

im about 75% into making my first game and i was wanting to give it a name like the dr who episodes have ie Caves of the androzani . Spearhead from space. something with that sort of ring to it anyway.

The main thing the characters up against is small hairy cataerpillar type monsters.

so if anyone has any good ideas for the title then please post them here.

the best one will be used as the title and the submitter will get a credit in the credits

In my game i wanted to have the player examine a drawer which has an inventory item in it. when the character interacts it displays a message to say the item is in it and that youve taken it.Ã,  Ive managed to do this alright but i wanted to kniw how you get it to change the message so that after youve got the item the next time you interact with the drawer it says there is nothing else in here.

If i can do this without scripting but just using the easy editor bit then any help would be appreciated

if you have just started out using ags make your first game with the default gui and dont worry if it doesnt look polished'

when i started i wanted my game to be just like monkey island and i was posting questions about all sorts of stuff i didnt really need.

learn all the basics first  
and dont worry if it look shoddy you can always tart it up when you know more about the scripting

as my nan always says "YOUR TRYING TO RUN BEFORE YOUVE LEARNED HOW TO WALK"

also dont mess with the script unless you are 100%
sure what you are doing

im probably in the wrong place but ive been looking for where you send your finished games im a noobie both to ags and the internet

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / The Neverhood
Tue 17/02/2004 00:31:56
I got a game today called The Neverhood today and it is ace. It is a point and click but it is all clay animation like morph. It cost me 40p from a charity shop as it was in the CD basket so they just thought it was a CD.

I advise you to check it out!
