What about magazines? You do pay pay the game if it's on the cover cd. The licensing really ought to reflect this.

Come to think of it, a whole lot of other intelligent people must have had this problem before us, there's bound to be a nice license written up by those people which we are only silly not to use. I'll go look.

You must've mistaken this for the "brag about your adventure game collection" thread aga.

Also where have you been?

Edit: Oh wait, Eric already mocked you for it. Never mind (*ignores he's been guilty of this in the past*)

I still haven't figured it out Andail. I only saw it once though and didn't give it much thought afterwards.

Hehe, I don't know if you're joking or not Dragonrose, but that was an awe comment.

Yes, it is "our" Jayel, Iqu. He's also working as the background artist for Josh's game over at www.adventuregamers.com

That is one nifty picture.

Edit: Hm, I always thought Jayel was Dan Lee who did this famous piece of art: http://www.scummbar.com/imageviewer/imageviewer.php?useimage=/community/fanwork/full/eib_scummbar082703152354.jpg

Why switch nicks and put this one painting up alone and leave the other 10 or so under the other account. Maybe I'm wrong.

Hahaha, I came over that thread also. I wish I could get one of them to be my sensei.

tripod? geocities?

* Esseb thinks about writing a long article about the differences between the terms dork, nerd and geek, then gives up and links to a Cat and Girl comic instead

Ghormak's idea, but he was too lazy to do it:

You are right.

Back to the article, what's the game in the top left on the first page?

Well, one breast is slight nudity, two breasts are full on nuditiy and three breasts means a game made by Chris Jones.

The points in the plan confuse the hell out of me. The first two seem to be mocking those of us opposed to the war in Iraq, while the others seem to be mocking people like Darth up here. It seems like the guy who originally put them together didn't know what they meant. Nor Darth who posted it.

For me, LEC has several games I remember more fondly than Sierra's, but that's only because I've played many more LEC games so I can't participate in this debate.

This is AGS related though scumm :p.

Moresco, checked out platformerius by 2ma2? http://ilb.notrix.net. Not quite the same as what you're doing though. It's under tutorial.

Edit: Gengen = General General. I.e general discussion forum. Old nickname from the old name.

Should'a gone with the MI2 wally only :p.

Trap, that was awe.

Many thanks to DG for taking a screenshot of the scene I needed.

Edit: Custard, three wallys?

The mansion is owned by a centuries old confederate general. The house is a vortex of time. All time periods ever happen at once in the house, so you have old confederate soldiers dressed up to go to a ball in the house talking to the family of four who moved in in the early 1970s, a couple of electricians from the year 2000 walking around etc. The gold coins was burried with the body of a 10 year old slave girl who was murdered (by the general himself it turns out, she's actually his illegitimate child and the money is those her mother refused to accept to keep the girl's father a secret), you don't know when, where, how, why or by who she was murdered. You're only after the gold of course but can only find them by solving the murder. So you must talk to the people in the mansion and gather clues from the different time periods. The old grandfathers clock in the entrance actually controls what time period the house is, and you can adjust it as you wish, but you can only adjust the time by a 100 years 1800-1900-2000. A clue you hear about the girl's name being carved into a tree once which was chopped down before 1900 forces you to move the house to 1800 (before it was carved) and chop down the tree so she will carve it on another tree nearby which won't get chopped down.

Etc. Impossible to do a proper game like this of course :p.
