So is DNF ever going to be released? They are still not clear about that

Except for the name:
Forever probably means the duration of the development of this (DNF) project

The latest >news< :

In short:
Despite rumors and statements to the contrary, 3D Realms (3DR) has not closed and is not closing. 3DR retains ownership of the Duke Nukem franchise. Due to lack of funding, however, we are saddened to confirm that we let the Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) development team go on May 6th, while we regroup as a company. While 3DR is a much smaller studio now, we will continue to operate as a company and continue to license and co-create games based upon the Duke Nukem franchise.

But wasn't "The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble of Azimuth" more like a unofficial goblins game between Goblins Quest (part3 from the series) and Gobliiins 4 (just released) than an adventure like "Princeless Bride" or series like KQ?

Well, seems that humans can keep them selves alive with just only Bavaria:

You can EAT it, you can DRINK it and you can LIVE there...

The book "The lost City of Z." The story about a real life British archaeologist and explorer called Percy Harrison Fawcett. And yes, that's where the inspiration for Hollywood's Indiana Jones came from...

There's I think a new book out on that topic, some guy went the same way through the jungle (it was recently advertised on Coblert Report) and the guy mentioned that there was a movie starting, probably with Brad Pitt...maybe we're talking about the same book, this one has a similar name.
EDIT: I think it's this one - link to amazon.com

That is the book I was talking about.
And yes there is a movie been made with Pitt as Col. Percy H. Fawcett and the company's who are working on this are including Pitt's movie company "Plan B Entertainment".

As for poirot not being an adventurer is true, he only uses logic and talking to find stuff out. Holmes would be easier to use for an ags game.

And I know there are commercial Holmes games. As for Poirot I have no idea. But besides the fact that there exists commercial games allready, there can still be made ags games about them. Look at Indiana for example, there are commercial games but also fangames and in production ags games.

quote from Ponch:

Thank God! I'm not alone! For years, I've almost convinced myself that show was some sort of fever dream and that explained why only I remembered it.

I've the same thing with "Tales of the Gold Monkey".
Not one of the persons I know do remember that one.
Until this year I even couldn't remember the name of that serie.
I could only remember a guy with a water plane and a dog with a glass eye.
A few months ago I found out the name of that great show.

Oh, I forgot this one: besides Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes I'd like to see an
Agatha Christie's Poirot game. A nice whodunit game would that be.

The original story of "(The mystery of) The 13 crystal skulls.

and

The book "The lost City of Z." The story about a real life British archaeologist and explorer called Percy Harrison Fawcett. And yes, that's where the inspiration for Hollywood's Indiana Jones came from...

As also for the "13 crystal skulls story", that one brought us:
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

If those two (combined or not) were made into an ags game it would probably look a lot like an indiana jones game though... But I do like those kind of games.

When I remember right you just need to
1. make a dir in the root of your C drive with max 8 chars (eg. qfg) and
2. put the Quest For Glory 4 1/2 files in that dir.

Then the game runs, can't remember if the sound worked this way.
Using WinXP.

Edit:
Mmhh, I checked and the above way doesn't work somehow.
Then dosbox it is, like leon said.

In my opinion the character walks to slow in the demo

...What?

Bavaria is NO beer, thats province/area/whatever of Germany! 

...Well, that's funny

In Holland it's a well known brand of beer...

Bavaria, Germany.

Are you living in a pool of beer, or is that a real place?

like Ponch said: Tales of the Gold Monkey. And Arthur Conan Doyle's Mr. Holmes.

Release an "Unfair-Dead-Ends-Only" game could be pretty annoying I guess....

I'm getting the "unity web player install now" message.

But the link to that thingy doesn't work...

The Netherlands aka Holland aka Splifland  8)

7 sort of looks like a scorpion skeleton...

Nikolas,

If you would like to have a player that looks and works like a
Winamp clone and also is for free, you should give AIMP2 a try.
