But obviously most of you are having trouble trying to make out who everyone is in the bar!

Dam thing is, that the games I used to love back then, I'd hate now. I remember putting on a certain game and the magic memories I had of that game were destroyed in seconds. (I used to like this bag of crap? I remember thinking this game had great graphics and gameplay!) Believe me I wish I could still like them today.

(I still don't know what these c64 looking AGS games are...)

(Seems it's turned into a graphics debate. Whoops.)

Looks extremely promising! Could be a classic! Hope the gameplay lives up to the graphics!

Fire Freur! (Or whatever)

They're okay, but I'm not into them.

How often do they sing in german? I've got some german artists in my collection who sing 100% english (Robocop kraus, T Raumschmiere) and an album by And One that's all in German! (Which makes it very hard for me to sing along to)

Kermit? Kermit the frog?? You don't mean that dude that looks like frankenstein's monster, do you? And I think there is only one skeleton, and the other is a mummy.

But it's hard to tell for some reason.. Ã, :P
#2886
On the contrary, I don't recall even seeing an AGS game THIS outdated in resolution.
(But I'm sure you're going to point one out to me)

Anyway lets not get into a debate about ye olde graphics!

Reminds me of the whole "Our game has this new TK feature in it!"

Coming out around the same time as each other, the two games "second Sight" and "PSI Ops" both featured a new floating objects and people feature. (Like in DAH!)

They both swear it was a coincidence... I wonder! However the second sight game was more brainy and stealthy and the psi ops game was an all out actioner.

I don't understand why people want to make games that look so terribly outdated!

I could never play something that looks like a commodore 64 game, which is a shame as a LOTR game of this mould would be cool.

So anyway, what happened when you plugged the cable in? :P

ha freaking ha! I guess I'll write back to them and tell them their excellent advise didn't work. Then they'll probably write back and say "Are you sure you plugged the cable into your mobile phone, and not your arse?"

And Elliott, I wouldn't say i disliked you, in fact you amuse me.  :P
#2890
Hey I never noticed that about the foreheads (or lack of)!

Bit late, 'cos I'd have to change hundreds of animation frames, but it teaches me that in the next game I make, I'd benefit from some C&C!
#2891
Argh! Will you people please stop pushing down off the page mine and other's games already by bumping up old threads! The front page is now full of locked and games not updated in ages!  :'(

What is it with these companies that give you bleeding obvious advice when something goes wrong?

After you have loaded the software on to the computer plug the cable
into
the PC.
Then check the settings in the menu and change them accordingly.

PLUG THE CABLE IN! Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Oh will you look at that? I forgot to turn the computer on as well! They take me for a fool!

(Or perhaps they don't have a frigging clue themselves?)

I think they look "Camp" actually, rather than "Gay" seeing as being gay doesn't make you dress up like A YMCA reject.

(But JRock, I'm taking the mic outta the default drawings, your actual own work is superior in my eyes)

To my mind the whole business is exactly like trying to plug a SCART cable into the back of a TV without looking.

Well, not exaclty.

thanks Steve, i somehow missed that post! HAHAHA!!

I've never ranted about those damn scart leads, so it's good to hear I'm not the only one pissed off with them! Especially the ones that have the cable coming out at the side and get in the way!

bit like this one: (But I've seen worse)

In the space on the floor I would put:

Hey! Where is his cd collection?

A scrounger mate of his that sleeps in all day on the floor and takes his weed and cigs and alcohol! (If he has any)

his amp

a cliched mouse hole

empty lager cans

EDIT: Oops i took to long, kinda on msn..

Can we have a bigger image to look at?

Is he a lazy character? Would he have stacks of half empty pizza boxes lying around.

I don't understand why people post unworthy posts like this (I'm talking about you, VII Toast). Please play the clown on another location, but NOT here, okay? I know I talk like a moderator, but this is how I think about it.

No, a moderator wouldn't bump an old thread.  ::)

(Cool name by the way.)

OnEscapee! A classic Amiga game, on the PC? Cool! (I remember playing the amiga demo of it, it was a bit unfair when it came to instant deaths, but it had buckets of atmosphere and cool animation.)

Sorry I have yet to play 1213, nor does it interest me.
