Sorry if someone already posted this, but I'm looking for the original version of the Shivah (not the $5.00 deluxe version). Any links? Or can someone PM me the game?

Exactly. And I also wonder how it got nominated for 'Explosive Demo' or whatever, with that crapped-up, glitchy demo.

No satire here, mon. De graphics dey be natty but de gameplay not irie, mon.    I and I hope de real game ride strong.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could either PM/email me a download of The Shivah (original, not delux version), or give me a link to a site with the download. Thanks.

Exactly. And I also wonder how it got nominated for 'Explosive Demo' or whatever, with that crapped-up, glitchy demo.

Today, I found Beneath A Steel Sky on CD for 99p at my local Oxfam - I was chuffed!

I hope I don't sound smart-ass, or plain stupid, but isn't that game freeware nowadays?

Edit: Not that I would find 99p too expensive, of course.

Yeah, it's on scummvm.org. Cd and floppy version.

Clip and gameboy are the same person? What the heck??

I doubt he'd be able to. He's only 15.

Fine, I'll change the signature.

I'm not sure this goes in this section, but...

I did not like Monkey Island 4.

I think that because they got rid of that 2D-point-and-click-iness, the game is just not Monkey Island like anymore.Ã,  It's almost as if they just made a game with a plot and characters similar to the ones in 1-3.Ã, 

Am I wrong to think that?

I just think that if they kept it 2D it could have been better.Ã,  It would feel more authentic.
Sadly,Ã,  people would much rather play a game adventure that doesn't lack a third dimension.

My question: Why?

But I'm getting off topic.

Another thing that i don't like about MI4 is that you have to get Guybrush uncomfortably close to something in order to interact with it.

In the older ones you just had to click on an object (or person,area,etc) and Guybrush "magically" walks over there by himself.

Did he get dumber or something?

I don't know...

What do you guys think?

Yeah, 3d adventure games are almost always worse. Except Mordy 2, which isn't fully 3d, but still. Most people nowadays think 2d graphics or pixel art graphics 'suck'. I think it's the other way around. I mean, 3d graphix look realistic, but 2d graphics have more heart, and they had hours of time put into them. Nowadays, you can just get computers to do it for ya. I guess in making MI 4, they were trying to cater to the trends of 3d, but try also to keep the fanbase.Ã, 

I downloaded it the other day, since we got high speed internet a while ago, and the game is CRAZZYYYY!!!! The characters don't even look 3d, they look like clay or something, it's awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

People have been getting a little too low-res lately so:

My entry: Saruman.

120x100. you count the colors, it's under the limit.

As in 'White Magician', you mean SilverWizard_OTF, then yes.

Tha's another thing that bugs me- the PS3 is gonna be $700 or more, and it's gonna have lots of things copied from Nintendo. I actually read somewhere that Sony was 'trying' to copy Nintendo's immerse-yourself-in-the-game-ish controller.

The Xbox 360 sucks. It's not even next gen. Wii is actually an African word, believe it or not...

Excuse me, but do you own a 360? I'm just wondering how you can say it sucks. At first some titles didn't look next-gen, but now i have seen some games and played some demos that would blow you away. I'm just assuming you are anti Microsoft, so all you can do is bash the system.

Also, didn't read the whole thread, but the Wii is going to have the virtual console which means you can go online and purchase and download whole games from systems ranging from NES to N64, and i also heard Sega Genesis and Turbo-Grafx games as well. I own a 360 and love it, and i'm definitely gonna buy the Wii, but i'm going to take a wait and see approach on the PS3.

I really wish there were no such thing as console wars, it really is sad.

I don't 360  8), and will die before I do!  But, think about this: You can get the same games, with graphics 2% less than what the 360 has, for way less the price (no, I'm not talking the wii, I'm talking about 'old' systems like PS2 or GameCube or XBOX). I know, you might be saying 'There are 360 exclusive games', but who wants to pay double the price for 'better graphics'? I mean, the 360 is around $600, and the original is around $200 (actually make that TRIPLE the price). You also might be saying 'the 360 can download things and surf the internet'. That's what you get a computer for. It's usually 300 dollars less, too.

That's way too overused.

Thanks for the fast replys. I was looking to get a MIDI keyboard in the near future, but was wondering if that might be good for game music. Thanks.

How do you create MP3 music like that found in the Apprentice. I know they didn't get a live band or something, and they used a program. Can someone tell me how to do music like that, or give me a link to a tutorial, or a program or SOMETHING? Sorry if I sound like a n00b.Ã, 

True, true. Very true. Did I mention it was true? 

While Sony and Microsoft may have a few original games, Nintendo has had a lot, and most of their games are now well known. Also, the Revolution is going to be revamped, unlike the PS3 which just features a smaller controller. Nintendo is always trying new innovations and they are the most original. The PS3 is gonna be $600 USD and up. I don't think anyone would want to buy that, just for better graphics. PCs are for that.

The Xbox 360 sucks. It's not even next gen. That and the PS2 usually just have games that are copied onto all three systems, never any original games, like Nintendo always does.
