Awesome choice Crimson! Loved that game - stunning graphics for that time (and still are, kind of)...

Sorry for only half a screen-shot. If I'd posted the whole one it wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Future Wars

They share the same genre. The only difference being that Cruise for a Corpse takes place on the open ocean, while for this game rather 'the opposite' is true.
If you know 'where' you've almost got the name of the game. 

Not based on a book, but it does 'borrow' from a few (in particular Christie):

You're on the right track, it's C64.

Additionally: Your first 'guess' is veeery close...

  Hehehe, you've to read the small print in that particular post.

This game already featured the 'combining notes' function. Only it's execution in-game was so particular and at the same time so random (you had to guess which
words were important and which ones weren't) that it drove you nuts! Still, a great game...

OK, I hope Babar doesn't mind that I post the next one alreay to keep the game rolling...(and Gribbler happy! )

Yes, there's a reason the manual isn't actually linked anywhere on the site anymore!  Where did you even see it linked?

It was linked from the main site.  After I downloaded AGS I saw the Help and FAQs box on the right hand side of the page:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/ags/
I clicked on Online Manual, taking me to:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, AGA, but he's actually right. Not the online manual links itself are broken, but every single link in the menu bar to the lefthand side.

If that's a known issue, I do apologize.

[Densming's AGS Tutorial Videos on YouTube]

One thing we should definitely consider is having a direct link to Densming's AGS Tutorial Videos on YouTube, since they're an invaluable
source of a first step-by-step approach for people new to AGS. (Or maybe even hosting those videos itself - not sure what's more feasible?)

OK, forget what I wrote about densming's video tutorials. Just saw that they're linked on the http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/ags/ main page.
I was scanning our AGS Wiki resources section most of the time, coz there's that AGS Wiki link in the forum's menu bar... 

Ponch means the old one. Ilyich means this one.

Way to go, Eric! Staying away from the forum for "eons" and then instantly topsy-turvifying the whole thread and wreaking havoc! No, no, Mister!


This is the mad cow's HOLY ANSWER (...in reflection ):

...also, that's some horrible piece of information, Eric, just horrible!
I feel like a fond childhood memory has been tainted after the fact -
and I was so ready to believe in teh Hollywood machinery again. No more, I tell ya!

...unless you plan to use it to further the communist agenda in Nottinghamshire which is counter to the license agreement.

AWWWHHhh, man! What's with all teh restrictions...?!


@Everyone
We definitely need more suggestions and input. This can only work as a joint effort.

Keep it coming, guys and gals... (*insert Baron's monocle smiley-thing)

But...but... that's...that mad cow's HOLY ANSWER!

Who dares to mess with that one?

NOT me!!

[Fish!]

It's Fish!. A wacky graphically enhanced text adventure about a goldfish secret agent on vacation(!),
involuntarily forced to foil the plan of a group called the "Seven Deadly Fins" who're trying to take over the (water-)world.

It was all the rage when it came out and even 'Game of the Year' in most computer magazines. Also one of the
most discussed games that year throughout various magazines' hint sections, coz people kept on getting stuck...

Ah, nice one Babar! That games was awesome! Subaquatic twist and all that.

Can't guess though, really have to go to sleep or I#llbe wasted tomorrow...

Thanks Calin, much appreciated

I do mean to finish it at some point...

That'd be grand, though even in it's present form it is already very concise and immensely helpful to programming/scripting newbs such as myself.
Thanks again for the effort...

BTW you wouldn't mind if we included that book in a central AGS resources hub? (I know nothing is settled yet, but just asking doesn't hurt.)

...And Gribbler continues his guessing spree (almost) unchallenged!
(just realised myself that I chose a screen-shot with the mausoleum mouse-over -
that wasn't too clever, I admit )

It might be... . What's your guess?

Sweet! Hopefully somewhat more obscure this one and not that well known I hope.

Black Mirror?

2nd part was published in the same year as Eternam, but can't go again...
