well, a few minutes ago, I sent them to you  I tried to upload them to AGS server but it was down, so I'll do it later...

Sounds interesting, and I'd like to see screenshots. Can't you make them smaller, so that we can take a look ^^

cheers

sure. I'm going to try and upload a few to the AGS server. If anyone wants the screenshots badly enough, I can email the screenshots to them. Actually, since you seem so interested, I'll email them to you. But I'm still going to upload them to the server. Anyways, I have quite a few screenshots, so prepare for a lot. 

I have started work on (and will continue to work on) a science fiction game called 2010: World of Chaos. I can't put up screenshots (too large a filesize) so that's why I'm posting here. I could probably upload the screenshots, actually that's what I'm going to do... anyways, it's a really good game, the backgrounds are OK, and if anyone want sot help in any way with it, that would be cool. 

STORYLINE

You play David Smith, private investigator. At the start of the game you're out on another case (which you lose). The head of the NYPD decides to give you a ticket to the 2010 Olympics (in canada) as sort of a vacation. Meanwhile, the leader of the terrorists, Al-Fahar Shamra is making vacationplans of his own  - to blow up GM Stadium- the location of the Opening Ceremonies. After the explosion, you are sent to unravel what is going on.....

I'm making (and remaking) the Indiana Jones Trilogy of graphic adventure games. The ganes will be in the  same style as LC (including all the graphics). For the LC remake, I am having a talkie version, and so I need voices for that. I need one or two good bg artists and I will probably do the new characters by myself. I also need someone to program into the game a fighting system; an updated fighting system from the old games (in which you can kick and do various types of punches and all that). I probably will tackle LC first, so whoever is doing voices needs to PM or email me. My email is frodomaniac12@yahoo.com

Do you have an official site for it?

Ok, i got the gun and stuff and I closed the window toblock off the sniper. Now what?

WOW :o this game looks promising. Keep up the bad work 

I'm new here, so if I've somehow violated a sacred charter by posting this here, please, for the love of god, just tell me.

In case you don't know, Abandonware is the name given to software (mostly old games) that is no longer sold or supported by its publiser. Most extend this definition so that it also has to be at least five years old. Many people decide to provide abandonware for free download, which really upsets the copyright holders.

The IDSA (or whatever it's called now) has recently been cracking down on a lot of Abandonware sites, telling them to get rid of their members' software. Most sites comply, some do not. The gaming community generally likes Abandonware, as it provides an easy way to get old games that are otherwise extremely difficult to find. In fact, some gamers are under the impression that downloading free Abandonware is legal. They're wrong.

Most of the classic adventure games are now abandonware. Quest for Glory one through three, the Police Quests, most of the Space Quests (I think all, but I could be wrong), and many other classics fall into the relam of Abandonware. It's nearly impossible to get any of these games legally without heading onto Ebay or something similar. That would be the reason for the support of gamers.

Now, the gamers like it, and the publisers don't. Well, nobody likes the publishers, either. How about the people everybody cares about - the developers?

Suprisingly, the general reaction of the developers is that they're happy someone is still playing it. The vast majority of them would have no problem with releasing their old games for free so that they could still be appreciated, if they owned the rights. Unfortuanately, they don't. The publishers do.

However, these are the same publishers that are making it so bloody hard to get the games in the first place. They say that if they re-release these games, they won't make a profit, and let's face it, they're right. But what do they do then? Do they just let the games die? What do you think?

Oh, and one more thing - how badly are you allowed to swear on these forums? The rule dealies aren't very explicit on this.

actually, you can download sam and max hit the road at www.removed.comÃ,  8) (there is a game section somewhere) and at www.removed.com there are TONS of abandonware graphic adventure games (but most are in foreign languages).Ã,  :'(

No abandone ware links on the forums, please.

does anyone know of any good adventure games that are non-commercial or fan-made that are lucas-arts quality? thanks

okay.... how do they need help on the game? I'd love to work on this type of thing with a bunch of other people 

there is an indy fangame at www.freewebs.com/oldstyle_games is this game still being made? Do any of you know about it?

how do i get out of the first room in 6 day assassin?

my forum name is named after my site, www.freewebs.com/yodaman11111

i'd say either sam and max or Indy: FoA. BASS is close behind, with it's good graphics. The game was too easy though.

There is an Eragon text adventure already. Check out the Eragon website.

I personally don't think it would make a very good adventure game, since a lot of the main character's actions are out of his hands- he's told to do this, he's forced into doing that, and a bunch of random chance. The actions that he actually does for himself are mostly gaining skills.

Maybe an RPG would work better than an adventure game.

Are you kidding! 99% of adventure game puzzles are people telling you to do this and forcing you into doing that!

yodaman111111111 you are making games about EVERYTHING.

well I've got a lot of time on my hands. I'm probabkly going to start a sam and max fan sequel (although I don't know how much of it I'll finish)

so they aren't making the fan games of sam and max?

can you email me all your work on the game? I want to continue the project.

Who would notÃ, 

what does that mean?

what the heck is up with sam and max flintlocked? I mean, they don't even have screenshots for it. Do any of you know what's going on?!!

how soon is this game expected to be made?

I was doing the lineart for Indiana Jones, Raiders of the lost art. Sascha is awesome, I pass him 2 bits images and he makes a perfect forgery of the early 90ies Lucas' backgrounds with a Corel Draw clone.

He suddenly told me to stop after some Lucas' fangame cancells. He was afraid about the license stuff. Vel told in #AGS that shutting the website and oficially announcing he has stopped making Raiders is a tactic to avoid Lucas' lawyers... Maybe, but dunno... I was working for him and he told me to stop, that's for sure. If he has found another artist, or is doing the art by himself is something I can't know. I just can say my version.

But the guy has a gift for making that graphics, and he knows how to do make games. I bet he will make something simillar to the things he has done before, but without license problems. Not that I certainly know about a project, but it's a desire I think it will be given.

can you email me all your work on the game? I want to continue the project.
