GREAT GAME!!!

I'm stuck however

Spoiler

Where do I find the passcode for the gymnasium door? I suppose it has to do sth with the room under the grating in the first screen of the sealed sector, but I cannot enter it.

Any ideas?

I have taken the clean backbone and placed it in the pod. I have transferred the pyramid on the clean backbone, and then, what? I don't get any messages.

Have I missed something?

   Is there a way to escape from the prison cell? Or I have to restart?

Thanks.

Ã,  Ã, I have created a LEC type GUI. Well, it's not exactly a LEC, but it is based on the Lucasarts GUI and has some improvements of my own.

Ã,  Ã, You can download it hereÃ,  Ã, http://members.lycos.co.uk/skiovatis/LEC_GUI.ace

Ã,  Ã, Hope it proves helpful!

EDIT1: There's a screenshot:

EDIT2: I'm afraid the first version of the GUI didn't work because not all the files where included in the .ace. The current version must work normally.

I am stuck on the shipwreck scene.
I have blown my nose and I have found the flute but I can't do anything else.

Help please

Thanks

Remember this one?

I have found the key and unlocked the juke box. Now? I can't find anything new to do.

   Who do you consider to be the prettiest woman ever appeared in an adventure game, either AGS or non-AGS? It can be a protagonist, a supporting role or even a background extra! Make your choice!

   As for me, I especially like Sophia Hapwood from FOA, and also the pirate girl from Apprentice 2. The witch of Principles of Evil is not bad at all, also!

OK, I shoved the ballon in my pants, then what?

I hope I'm not going to ask for a part in ARE!

Anyone played "Out of Order"? It's not AGS, it's SLUDGE, but it ROCKS!

To those that have played it:

I am a prisoner in my own room after I get arrested at the office building. I have given the Stick-Stuff to the guard and managed to get out, but then, what?

In the three portal isle, I

have turn the bars into ice but i can't break. I also cannot make the invisible spell appear.

I have downloaded QfO but a strange thing happens.

I sent the woman to town, she returns naked, meets the bad guy, and then the game ENDS!!!

Is this supposed to happen? I thought it was just a joke, but I recently discovered a topic about QfO that suggests that there is ACTUALLY a game!!!

What's happening...?

Ã,  Ã, Finally, after months of developing and months of uploading problems (believe me), my first AGS adventure game << FORTRESS of WONDERS >> is available!!!

Ã,  Ã, It's all about a brave barbarian girl off to save the kingdom from a demonic threat. Legions of dragons, undead, ghosts and other horrors will stand in her way, and powerful magics will aid her in her quest!

Ã,  Ã, You will find it in my website:Ã,  Ã,  http://members.lycos.co.uk/skiovatis/
Please forgive me for the troublesome download but I had no choice. ENJOY!!!

Some screenshots:

I have the gun, the meat and the knife.
I have managed the oldman to take me to the mansion. But then what?

I think the solution is probably in the door at the church or the warrior's house, but...

HELP???
Thanks!

I have to make Rufus the cat enter the kitchen but I cannot make the door stay open. The walkthrough says something about a "doorstep", but I haven't found anything similar.

Help???
Thanks

Anyone going to the Olympics?

I am Greek and I look forward for the games to start. It is going to be the experience of a lifetime.
And I think we have done a really good job as it seems, despite the slunder of the foreign media.

What do you think?

I have the levitating and invisibility machines and I have to invade the company building. But where is it?

I have found the 2 first gems. One in the city and one in the cave. How do I start to find the 3rd? I have some unused meat in my inv and the manure is the only hotspot I haven't interacted yet.

Thanks

I was wondering.
What makes a GUI good? I always thought functionality is the secret and I believe you will agree, but what does it mean?
I think of functionality as the minimization of necessary clicks and mouse movement. The LEC GUI, for example, was really versatile and thorough, but a bit uncomfortable. The SIERRA GUI (the default of AGS) is also a bit annoying since it requires a lot of right clicks (especially if you accidentaly pass the desired command).

If I took an example from AGS games, I think the GUI of 'Uncertainty Machine' was the best (I created and use a templatebased on this), with '7 days' following. On the other hand I found 'Devil's Shroud' very annoying.

Another thing: Do you think a status bar (you know, 'USE KEY ON DOOR') helps the player or just makes the game easier?

What's your opinion?

I have recently completed my new site at www.lycos.tripod.co.uk
I have failed however to upload any game files through FTP, since the server doesn't accept my password.
I have used both SmartFTP and CoffeeFTP.

Had anyone have the same problem?
