  the question that begs asking is how do you do the gui? One of the beuties (and frustraition) of these games is the amount of things you can do. things that maybe useless, usefull, or deadly are often in the same room.  as well you can often have inbetween rooms that hav no purpose but expand the feeling of depth.as well a few keystrokes can describe somthing that can take weeks ( at least) to paint. This is a noble idea. but its going to take hella long.     

I know this is slightly off topic, but I hav to ask.
HAs any one seen brave heart, or lord of the rings or "the secret of rune inish" and ther is this one instermint and it is played solo and its VERY haunting and celtic, and No its not bagpipes! i just wodering if anyone knows what i mean and i was just wondering if anyone knows what it is.

(Maybe)

i didn't day it was impossible i just said it is very difficult . call it a generization, call it human nature, from they way I have seen us guys work, its that deep down in us guys there is a horney little b*st*rd, clawing to get out Now the good news is most of us are able to repress that sucker and keep him under wraps. SExuality is one of the most powerfull forces in the facet of humen interaction, and the fact that we guys don't drop trow and howl at the moon is a good sign. I was describing the base side of man (not mankind) call it the id, call it the dark side. its the flip side of the human animal, it allows us to reproduce, to propetuate the species, but its a darn nucense the rest of the time. maybe i should review my views, in fact i will, thank you for bringing this to my attention, but I wasn't describing the whole of our being, just one part, I am sorry if I offened in anyway, anybody.

What if I don't want power? What if I don't flaunt my appeal? If men find me attractive, then it's their fault. I'm honestly not even trying.

Alas your right it is our fault, half the time we men think with our erm...smaller head. Like have you ever noticed a drwing a MAN drew of a naked (or semi naked) woman? It often feels just, provocitive. however a woman can draw the female form, (and what a lovely form it is) and it has no hint of sujestivness it can feel beutiful, powerful and free, but it doesn't HAVE to feel so  blatently sexual as when a man draws. of course i am sure (theoreticly) a man can draw a woman and it not feel sexual, but so far,  all the images (on sites like elfwood.) DO.

Maybe your not trying to be provoctitve, but we guys we are very visual, our eyes seem to be the biggest part of our brain. of COURSE you should be an individual, its not your fault the guys our drooling, its ours.
(in a si-fi book by Orsen Scott Card, One Alien says to another,"Humans are so weird, they are two comleatly differant spieces, driven together only by the need to reproduce", well Viva la diffrance!)

"a brave new world, and all the people in it."
... (ithink thats how it goes)
Anywho, what I find interesting is the tippy balance society has, in that one) men have a lot of business power, (glass ceilings and all that) however in the  sexual world Woman have lot of power, BEACAUSE of all the sexuality around, men want sex, thats the primel drive in the back of our heads. while woman nw a days both flaunt there appeal, yet are protected by laws and feminest mores.basicly it feels to me lke living in one big tease. Society if you ask me is changing faster than it can handle. I mean, flight to moon landing to pc in 100 years is RAPID change. how will society cope? Someday, sooner or later, society is going to collapse. Face it, it always happens. It happened to the romens the greeks the egyption, the maya, the inca, EVEREYBODY. MAybe not in our day maybe not in our grandchildrens day, but it WILL happen. How will we be remebered? As a magic age when man went to the moon, there were cures for most sickness, and people could FLY?! or as an age of were trhere were magic kings who fed off the work of children, who ravaged the land? who knows? If we have society collapse like the romens, english could become the new latin. who knows how we shall be remebered. it doesn't matter really. but it was a thought that rambled round my head and I thought I would share it.

kill me know, I play Virtua Fighter!

I got Eric the Unready as a gag gift.(it is, its a HOOT of a game ) i got The Dig for 5 bucks, Wing Commander 2 for $2.50.as well I got Civililzation for two and a half bucks, but ONE issue there, its on 5 1/2 inch floppys( now i know WHY ) my saddest thing is that i have myst, I got it bundled with riven,(this was at radio shack) and i have completed it, basicly. i later was playing Riven however, just cruising along, nt doing much, when when the cd started spinning at HYPER speed! I open the door, it SHOT out, without slowing down. the third disc TORE around the bottem of the cd rack, scratching it self to oblivion. NOW i got to find a replacement disk. Ã, :'(. oh well i got cmi, emi, and, (illeagally Ã, ) mi1 and mi2. so, i am mostly happy with my colection.BUT I MISS RIVEN :'(

exactamundo progZmax. though for easier, and less buggyness, why not do away with the whole online thing? there was multi-player BEFORE on-line. as you said, mario brothers. in fact a there is (or was ) a potentiay multi-player adventure game on the market.
I am thinking the maniac mansion games, but where you all huddle to gether and each plays one of the charactors. And THAT could be a model( loosely) for multiplayer adventure games.each main charactor starts in a differant location, the game is broken up into small acts, centering on each charactor. and (wowzer) it tells a STORY! though the back stabing sounds fun. it tels no story, if you can figure out how do it online, all the power to ya, but this way would be simpler and more story driven.

But distracting you was soooÃ,  fun!Ã,  Ã, 

erm... who ar u talk to here?

HOLY MOTHER of BOB!:o This is the KOOKIEST, thread I have ever SEEN! I ask, politly i might add, for some links and tips on finding the steriotypical music from private eye/film noir movies. Dark movies about a dark time, full of corruption and lies. I wanted to then use that for the music about a game where after an alt-ww2 where 1] no atomic bomb was invented, everyone thought einstien was crazy.2] Babbage in vented the computer 100 YEARS ahead of its time so in ww2 an AI was created.(no more american boys going to war) 3]just after ww2, demons invade earth through a wormhole, seening we were exhauseted and not having a weapon that could defete them, an a-bomb. there is a big war, niether side wins. and so we enter a corrupt world were demons own strip clubs, wizards make deals,and so do polititions. we have robot cars, and its a world that has both magic and technoligy, in some parts more advanced then ours, but its CORRUPT. the place stinks with it. I thought film noir would be the perfect mood for such a place. If ANYONE wants to help me. making backounds. doing music,  making animations even ,pm me. or post here.

but needless i was shocked. i didn't think i would open such a can o' worms, with this thread. it took a week for it to get for posts, and i was going to leave it at that. then i come back to school. (thats my acess to internet, school.) i find this HUGE thread. "JJJ,Jeepers!", to quote on cartoon rabbit, this was almost funney reading all these posts. as soon as I was done,(and I read every one)I started on this post.

maybe have them argue over some trivial point. have an outside cgaractor, like one of the nicer monsters, ask if "are you attracted to this female?" make it slow lingering not to mushey but beutiful. have an old flame that you like but sees that you need to let go. think manny and eva and meche. ohh i dont know, as a first rate dweeb i've never had a girlfriend. however i have seen more than my fair share of romantic comidies.no soaps though, kill me if i ever do

Private Eye jazz... Check out some 30's-50's Jazz, preferably the slow swing type of music. Also look into beat poetry and that sort of stuff. Grim Fandango really captures that whole era well.

OOHH...YA! thats why i love it baby, grim fendango that is.) to all the rest of you, thanx for all the tips,I will try them.
(told you the human brain is better then any search engine

I would like to say as a christian, i am not racist, we are ALL human, and I beleve That Jesus was who he said he was, either that or a lunitic,  i say there is no other choice.I don't beleve in bible thumping or christ on swordpoint. that is not  real belief. As a christian i belive that if we die some of us our going to hell.WHATEVER that is.As philosifer, I wonder WHY God would make a hell. Now as a christian, i cansee why christians would want others to know god as they do, if the believe that when we die we go one way or other. Now if you saw, or thought you saw people marching into an ambush, would you just try to save your self? On that note I agree the Church has done a lot of harm. The crusades, The inquisition, witch hunts, anti semitism,  the oppresion of homosexuality, forced conversion, and i am sure much more. i am sure this  paul harvey guy is a nut case.We the Church, (I say that as the members of my religion as a whole) should kneel before the people of the world and ask for forgivness. We should get off our high horse and continue the good things we do, helping the poor, taking care of those no one will help, reaching out to those in need.A lot of single moms have been turned a by there churches in shame, NO MORE!If the church is to be a good thing in this world, we will stop acting as if we should only help those in our  "club" but EVERYONE! yes we will continue to try to presuade those to our way of thinking, but that is because it is our belief that it is that or well... die. Freedom of religion and speech alow us to continue even if we are wrong and just deluding ourselves. even so, we should contine t oreach out and help others, thank you and have a LOVELY day!

this is what i mean, but mine uses (as I said)a solar reflector for the outside heat source. I don't mean ALL fridges use this plan., i learned somthing new to, it turns out, Albert einstien, of e=mc2 fame INVENTED it. weird

Refrigerators need flames?

yes they do, the fridges in do RV's anyway.

Hello fellow AGS'ers, I am making a game set in the film noir era, so i am looking for music from and based on those films.I have looked ALl over the internet but i havn't found anything that makes me think of that steriotypical style.i want songs for night clubs, rainy streets, steamy shots, chase shots, furs and federoa's. If you think i am being lazy, i am not, i am just tapping a resorce better then any search engine. the humen mind. to tell the truth i have been loking for the last 3 weeks. and ihave only come up with stuff from "grim fendango", which i think it would be kindof WRONG to use. so plz, help me :'(

As well Uku didn't INVENT the flamethrower idea, (which is stupid and a great way to kill yourself) If we are going to talk of inventions, I! invwnted a sunpowered fridge,(on paper) it works like a gas fridge, but uses a soler reflecter( foil and mirrors) to make heat, to replace the gas flame. safe and usable for keepin that beer cold when on a desert island. a MUCH more useful idea then a CRAZY pyro bragging about his "invention"
