I would've though someone would have mentioned this but Revenants! Anyone remember that? Gaspop had a bunch of great unfinished games. I always wished Revenants would have been finished. The old demo for it was great.

I actually rather liked the three Agatha Christe adventure games, this one in particular. They're not perfect, but I really enjoyed them. ATTWN the book revolved around the occupants eventually turning on each other. It wasn't really about finding out who did it and wasn't exactly a detective story. For the game, they tried to rewrite it so that it was a solvable detective story and I think they did fairly well with what they had. The plot as it was in the book wouldn't have really worked as a game, as the game needed to preserve the idea of all of the ten occupants possibly being the murderer, so another character was needed. It's not perfect, but rather interesting with a nice atmosphere.

Layabout: what operating system and monitor do you have? The settings are different depending on if you have an HD monitor or on an older operating system that supports the old Nvidia control panel, which had a Nvidia scaling option.

Khris: I've tried to run a game with the new engine but I'm having trouble figuring out the command line stuff. Could you explain it more?

The Omega Drivers are intriguing. I'll give them a try. The resolution stuff sounds good.
I had no idea about the setup thing, as I'm only somewhat familiar with the engine itself. It sounds cool, so I'll try that too.
For the most part, the monitor adjustment thing works nicely for the 640 resolution and higher.
I'll look into the Omega drivers and see about the 320 support, which I'd still like to have.
Thanks Khris.

I think changing the offsets on the monitor after starting the game will work. The picture is centered nicely. The filtering only works for the newer games that have it, not the older games without any filtering. I was hoping for a way to make my computer support 320x200, like my old one, but since the drivers that enabled the old Nvidia control panel with the nvidia scaling option isn't supported on Windows 7, I guess this will work pretty well. Thanks, I appreciate it. Still, if anyone knows of a way to enable support for 320x200 or a total scaling fix, I'd like to hear it. In the past, such a solution fixed all my problem on my old computer.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but it didn't seem to fit in the tech section.
In every AGS game I try to play full screen, the picture is shifted slightly in a southeast direction. The game is cut off slightly on the right and bottom of the picture. Graphic filtering works but not all games support this. Some non-AGS freeware games do this too. Basically, I am unable to play most games properly. The games say 320x240 resolution is unsupported. The problem with that is my old Windows XP, with the same graphics card, said the same thing but I used a certain Nvidia driver that supported a scaling fix. This fix is not the flat panel scaling fix, by the way. I have a different computer with Windows 7 64x now and the old driver is unsupported. I just want to be able to play these games. I sone a lot of searching, but no luck. Any ideas? Thanks.

A lot of the games that have broken links are available at http://aafiles.bicycle-for-slugs.org/

Gord10, I think you meant January 8th, as October 8th hasn't happened yet.

Is it Who told/hired Percy to investigate Smailholm? No one in the town wanted him there. Perhaps the guys at the end of BJ 1 deluxe hired him or he joined the Italians?

Since the Gaspop website doesn't exist anymore and the chances of them being completed are slim to none, is there

any chance, Chrille, that you could release what you have completed of Revenants, Pleurghburg: The Asylum, and

Calsoon1Plus? It would make many disappointed people happy. What ever happened to Calsoon1Plus anyway? I've

always wanted top play Revenants, as it looks great and the demo is my favorite game. Playing it would be a dream

come true. Please consider releasing it.
