Fan-smegging-tastic!

Oh, and just to be on the safe side, I'll say that I hope you change the font before release!

I think they'd say "100" as it's obvious about the 2000 part. Or maybe they'd make a shorter version "Two one-hundred".

What's funny is watching old films where the year 2000 has hovercrafts and teleporters etc. Or Back to the future 2 has amazing technology in the year 2015.. Hmm I doubt we'll advance this much in that time!  (Although I forgive it in this film 'cos of the story needed Marty to be older and alive)

Except for ProgZmax's game, I had no idea these games had seperately released soundtracks!

Mind's eye did have samey-ish tracks, but most games do to keep within a theme.

If you haven't already, go find and watch the spoof movie Airplane! I love it, and it's sequel.

like giving me pictures of Jamaica (which I could use as inspiration for backgrounds),

There's these fantastic searching devices you can get on the internet. One of them is called Google! It's great! I use it all the time! Here is the URL for you:

It will change your life!

Yeah I knew what you meant, next song, which is why I.. argh forget it!

Yes, RPG. One of those Japanese ones like Suikoden/Shadow Hearts etc. This song could be used to great effect when the player is roaming around a village talking to people. (Although it's better than the music in Suikoden V)

On to the next one? What was the point of posting it here if you aren't going to improve on it after realising it's flaws?

Well then, I hope you're able to make the next one an improvement then.

Guess I might as well play the song myself while I am here.

Oh this is better than I thought I expected! This would fit right in with an RPG game, so i guess that's the oriental element I'm thinking of.

"When I'm experimenting I like do to things quick before the "wow-this is cool"-kick I get is over. So when I'm done, I often forget to tweak or even change the sounds of some aspects of the experiment."

Perhaps when the wow kick is over you should go back to it and work on it some more. Patience my man! If I'd have done the same on my recent batch of music it would be inferior to what it is now. I often ask Nikolas for his opinion, and he's helped immensely. 

You weren't looking at the adverts closely enough. Now, here is an excerpt from one of the ads. Look CLOSELY now!

Everything just runs better on a Mac! Except Adobe Photoshop.

it featured the worse pixel point precision puzzle I've ever encountered in an adventure game? Where there was a plank and even with the solution in hand, me and my older brother couldn't find the pixel, and never finished the game?

Oh, you mean how insane it was.

Interesting that it barely had any dialogue whatsoever, either.

EDIT:

This section of the game:

Spoiler

Go to the huge pile of gold on the right and combine the sock with a gold coin.
Now go to the robot guard and attack him with the lethal coin/sock combo!  Now
you can enter the ship.  Pick up the first plank and look for a small cross on
the floor near the middle of the screen.  Stand thereabouts and use the push
command to drop the plank horizontally.  Now pick up the second plank and stand
in the middle of the first plank and use push to drop it vertically to make a
bridge.  Cross the bridge and pick up the cloth.

[close]

Hmm maybe we never "pushed" the plank. Because that's illogical.

You've not played Obi's games then.   

F..Fun? Is it lacking fun? I bet it's fun... Yea it's gotta be fun...

Overall, yeah that's it!

I like games where I meet interesting characters, and solve interesting puzzles. This had neither.

*waits for someone to dispute the puzzle issue, forcing me to expand on what I said*

Yeah thanks for that, insightful. 

I on the other hand, won't play the game ever again, as it lacks the things I like in adventure games.. shall I go into that? Nah off topic, right?

Codename Iceman? That's the first I've heard of this game! Must have been good! (Note sarcasm) *finds screenshots* Ah, early Leisure suit larry era.

Leisure Suit Larry 7 - The first and to my knowledge ONLY game ever to use a THIRD sense in the gaming experience with the genius Cybersniff 2000 the Scratch-N-Sniff, scratch the page with your fingernail and SMELL the scenery 

An real life page? I know Discworld Noir had an ingame smellovision where you could see smells as colours/auroa and ask Lewton to have a sniff. That was interesting!

HOWEVER Gabriel Knight wasn't the first adventure game to use a historical story either, the real first game ever to use a historical story was Conquest of Camelot (1989). SO THERE ! 

I think they meant it had historical background, not in an actual historical setting. But then, if they did, then there is the Indy games...

Police Quest - possibly the first adventure game to actually simulate something (like playing F15 games makes you simulate flying) that required you to learn how to behave. Which is to say, you had to think like a cop, instead of thinking like a game player.

But then punished you severly by ending your game if you so much as forget to have a shave. (Okay I doubt that was in there, but it's an example)

I get your point, however.

What was the first adventure game to include speech?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 

I love this thread already. (For all the wrong reasons..)

"She's 16 months and the baby's heathy and everything's going great so far. "

Your baby is heathy? Oh my god, that's terrible! How did a baby get like that? 

But hey, congrats then Snake! Whoever you are!

Haha! If it makes you feel less terrified, I deleted this image off my hard drive the second it was on photobucket. (Of course it's still there for your viewing till this page disapears)

And no you weren't on my hard drive already, I purposely seeked it out for this occasion, mmmkay! So:

Matt = Non stalking type.

Glad we cleared this up. 

"I haven't installed any antivirus program on this Mac, because there's no need."

Just like an Amiga! (Online, yes)     

I got a bit rude 'cos I felt they didn't read the rules:

"Don't rush to seek other people's opinions before you have given it a serious, sincere attempt yourself. You can do much of the c&c by yourself!"

Now when they've clearly left pixels lying around all over the shop, the above sentence springs to mind.

Unless they're half blind, or colour blind, then I'll understand.

(Nice to give the benefit of the doubt!)

That sounds like the game idea proposed by some geezer from the folks who made morrowind/oblivion. Maybe you read that thread where it was mentioned, and there are elements of other things that went through your mind that day. I'm purely speculating, of course.
