[real]

As for me, I would really appreciate if Aussie told us where he hid the real Silver Stan     

BTW, Nick, how are your long lost projects, Jimmy Jam and Duke Stalker (sorry for offtop)? 

I'm intrigued What's the story behind this coloured screenshot (all the others are black-and-white)?

I believe at least some of you heard about the so-called armchair tresure hunting, in which the players must uncover some clues in a book, a website or a video game in order to locate the hidden treasure. The first such hunt was started in 1979, with the release of "Masquerade" by Kit Williams (in which the readers were given the task to find a bejewelled golden hare), which has been followed by the video game "Hareraiser". Since then, there have been attempts to emulate its success, with "Treasure: In Search of the Golden Horse", "The Clock Without a Face", "Conundrum â€" The Cadbury Creme Egg Mystery", "The Great Global Treasure Hunt on Google Earts . Such hunts are closely related to alternate reality games (ARG), which use the real world as a platform (one of the most known, "The Beast", was preceeding the release of Steven Spielberg's movie "Artificial Intelligence").

So, since it was previously used in video games... do you think this could be a good idea for adventure game developers, and what classic adventure games could have used it? What sort of prizes would you suggest (like a golden Big Whoop ticket, an exclusive collectable pirate zombie toy or maybe something else)?

They've successfully reached the 500000 level some days ago. And a new update:

"So, here's the easier one: at the $550,000 level, we will be maxing out the game responses along the lines I suggested in my video update. Tons more jokes, tons more responses for clicking on screen features, dialogue trees, inventory-on-inventory messages, and more story! We’ll load every existing nook and cranny with extra content because, as Al pointed out to us, the original was “kinda thin” on that.

Now, here's the big one: at the $650,000 level, we're doing something that will change the face of Larry forever (if only!): we're adding a new location, new puzzles, and a new girl with her own storyline! Is this the infamous female character that Al was forced to cut from the original 1987 version of Leisure Suit Larry 1? Or am I just making that up entirely to add a sense of mystery? Your guess is as good as mine!"

Now how's that? 

Any updates on this? I'm really sorry for bumping it, but the website is still unavailable.

Update #10: some awesome new goodies!    

They added a new $150 tier for that much you get

1) physical game and game box
2) CD of the soundtrack
3) Lefty's breath spray,
4) Lefty's sexy lady "reveal" pen.
5) Lefty's shot glass
6) 4 Lefty's coasters,
7) softcover version of the Art of Leisure Suit Larry: Reloaded
8) Leisure Suit Larry Brand Condom
9) Lefty’s Bar t-shirt

and they revealed what the t-shirt will look like... I think its a lot cooler then the Doublefine shirt...

Scooby-Doo Mystery (the SEGA game).

Jack Orlando...has just one....

Can you give a link to this? I didn't know anyone besides me had even heard of Jack Orlando, much less liked it enough to make a fan game.

As you all know, Monkey Island and DOTT have tons of fangames. Sam & Max, Zak McKracken and Broken Sword have much fewer. Runaway has just one (and so do Toonstruck and Jack Orlando), and many adventures (especially the less known ones) have none at all. What adventures, in your opinion, should get a fangame? (some specific fangame ideas, like titles, plot details and preferred graphic styles, are welcome).

Update on Larry: new rewards (T-shirts included) and the official forums: http://forums.replaygamesinc.com/

And Nixxon now has his own page on AGS wiki 
http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Nixxon

I have discovered some materials from an old unreleased adventure called "Archibald: Dangerous Experiment". As far as I understand, it was a quite obvious Runaway stylization with a complicated plot that included mafia, aliens and an artifact called "The Devil's Eye".



You can check out the old webpage, which includes the promo trailer and the manual: http://web.archive.org/web/20010622155751/http://www.russobit-m.ru/eng/games/archi2/index.shtml

Pretty impressive, but I can't identify it. Quest for Glory or King's Quest?

At first, when I saw the thread title, I thought it had something to do with the Fowles' novel 

It seems that now it's both on AGS wiki and TV Tropes. 

I didn't expect such attention to it after these years.

Any news? 

One of the project's members has made a small demonstration in Visionaire. It's still pretty rough, and at this stage is more of a test than a game, but still worth a look: http://youtu.be/_eV7jvFIrYo (the voiceover is in Arabic)

What's about the Kangaroo figurine in Aussie's "Nick it & Run"?

I can't wait to see
