Some hinting is required, at least! I recently played a game ("Brain Hotel") and looked at an item, and the character said "Nothing to say about it,". This instantly made me conclude that it's not important and just ignored it. Except it was an important item you must pick up.

Also in that game, there's a crate you can pick up. You try to open it. "I can't open it." The problem I have with that statement, is WHY can't he open it? Because he's under an oath not to open client's parcels? Because he just doesn't want to? Or because it's sealed with tape? Nailed down? Doesn't have a lid? WHAT? He should have said "I can't open it, I'm not strong enough, the lid is stuck on too tightly." So I had to look up a guide to find out that I do infact need to open it.

I like good puzzles, even hard ones, and if I do get stuck, and look up the solution, I hope that I kick myself for not realising it, rather than just saying "What? That's absurd! I'd have NEVER figured that out!"

If it wasn't for the fact that the Simon puzzle you mentioned had already been heavily discussed all over the place in every magazine and webpage ever, I'd have been stuck on that for ages, I'm sure.

Thanks for the link!

I enjoyed the two detective games very much, but I didn't like "Brain Hotel" at all. It didn't make me laugh, and I kept getting stuck all the time, and then pretty peed when I read the solution. Then the game got bodged up in the elevator so I didn't get that far..

My game is very scary if you play it in a bath with a real life shark.

Oh, okay!

You should play

"lost in the nightmare"

"Esper"

And Ben Jordan : Horror at house 50 (or something like that)

Erm.. has the original poster even said anything yet?

I'm still waiting for my original question to be answered...

I think the last comment on her post was what riled people mostly, as already debated.

Huh? You want us to single out the female AGS developers?

OKAY!

Spooks by The Ivy. She's a FEMALE! This in turn makes the game completely and utterly different to all the games made by males*.

*Note sarcasm.

Seriously though, why do you want a team of females only?

LET'S KILL JACK THOMPSON!

I know all the best weapons to take him out with! I learned them all from the game "America's army"!

Timesplitters 3 was an 18 rated game in Ireland???

They more sensitive over there with the ratings? It was a 15 in the UK.

I still understand your main point however.

My mum bought GTA 1 for me on the PSone when I was 15 or 16 I think, but then she knew that I was mature enough and knew the difference between a game and real life.

I've noticed an improvement in speed performance (before I had been having a lot of slowdown on the forums), so yay for the new server ^_^

Oh yeah!!

Now you mention it everything is fast again!

 :D Wow thanks everyone!

I grin from ear to ear everytime I hear such lovely comments! If any of you could use the voting scoring thingy on the games page, that'd be extra nice!

What did everyone think of the music?

*cough*

SPEED guns, Nikolas.

So $30 is about £16, according to a currency converter.

Guess how much I can buy the new Broken Sword at on Amazon? £18. And I can have it without paying for P&P if I don't mind waiting a few days longer.

So I'd have to agree that the price is too much.

But, I'll still go and play the demo soon!

[sarcasm] I hope you die, Skyfire1. [/Sarcasm]

Oh ha ha that's put what I just said in a TOTALLY different light!  :P

Also, how is saying you're glad someone is dead a sarcastic thing, ever?

So any progress Victor?

Also, would you see clouds at night time? Not sure they fit in anymore! What do you think? (EDIT: Oh Mikko already said that...)

Lets see where you are now!

Or how about writing into a magazine about being stuck on an adventure game, but finding out the solution anyway waaaay before the magazine gets printed? (That's why I never bothered just for the record)
#2037
I wish I had noticed these posts before downloading it...

You played my game so I wanted to return the favour!

"Barbarian:  Hacking heads off has rarely been so fun."

Indeed!

"Little Computer People:  I spent hours and hours on this."

Me too!

The pinball games.. you DID play Slamtilt right? That was great!
