How many other places will there be for Walter to sleep? Most places at Miskatonic university would likely be closed late at night.

Thank you both

Of the other italian horror directors, which movies are of note?

Isn't Guillermo Del Toro Italian? The Mimic films were pretty good and the second one had an excellent twist at the end.

Fences? They keep the sheep in the pastures safe from the wolves.

Wasn't there two different remakes of King's Quest 3 using AGS or am I mistaken?

Time?

The clock?

Armitage must trust Walter an awful lot to leave him alone with the necromicon. And He could unlock the window to sneak in later. Though I imagine that when Walter's done that Armitage will put the necromicon back behind the locked door at the left side of the screen with all the other forbidden books.

[A man was granted a wish by an angel. The man wished to see heaven and hell. The angel took the man and showed him hell first:In hell the people had to sit back a meter from round tables laden with delicious foods. They only had 2-meter-long chopsticks with which to pick up the food. They could pick up the food but it was impossible to eat it. They were all starving and bitter.Next the angel showed the man heaven. To the man's surprise the situation was exactly the same: The people sat back a meter from round banquet tables with only 2-meter-long chopsticks but everyone was heathy and happy.Why?]

Here's one of my favorites. It's fairly famous so if you have heard it before please give others who haven't a chance:

Why?

They told us that story in Sunday school only instead of chopsticks they had silverware tied to their arms.

Is the "Maniac Mansion" template pack still available anywhere? As I recall it had all the sprites and rooms of the deluxe version (though the text was all in German) and I think it had much of the code as well. Somebody might be able to compile a new version with the bugs removed.

Do you have any plans to set up a steam page? This will definitely be going on my wishlist!

Looks cool. Is it free or commercial?

The price is 10 bucks, quite reasonable.

There is a new illustrated version of the classic horror text adventure Anchorhead. For more information visit the website at:

Is there a way to make it so the that when a character goes behind a walk-behind that the parts that are obscured become transparent rather than not being drawn at all?

Here is an original Lord of the Rings riddle/joke that I came up with:

"What is the legal drinking age in Middle Earth?"

Will this game be taking place during the prohibition? It might be an interesting play through if Walter were to blow off his classes and spend all his time in speakeasies and pool halls, though I imagine if he gets arrested or expelled that would probably bring the game to an early end.

Wasn't that it was easy but it was the first thing that came into mind when i was reading it.

Here is mine and might require a bit more knowledge than the average Joe, but it is something I learned at a young age so shouldnt be too bad.
Probably going to be a very easy riddle:

I am made up of two parts.
Either part standing alone I can be dangerous, However when my parts are combined together I make something necessary to sustain life.
What am I when I am together?

Salt (sodium chloride) both nasty elements on their own.

[They raised my siblings and I with great care,When they took us away it was fair,But then they brutally bashed us,And in wooden prisons they stashed us,Years later we were bought by some mayor.]

Probably a pretty easy one I just wrote so please hide answers to avoid too many early spoilers:

They raised my siblings and I with great care,
When they took us away it was fair,
But then they brutally bashed us,
And in wooden prisons they stashed us,
Years later we were bought by some mayor.

What were we?

Grapes made into wine?

[Jane and Mike played hide and seek.Jane found Mike at midnight just joking and smiling.How long did it take Jane to find Mike?]

Time to revive this thread I guess.

I thought up a riddle but it didn't work as a Black Stories case... too basic...

Here it is:

Jane and Mike played hide and seek.

Jane found Mike at midnight just joking and smiling.

How long did it take Jane to find Mike?

Until midnight?

Wonder what would happen if you threw a bucket of water on Keziah Mason? It worked in the Wizard of Oz! Though I imagine in this game it would only annoy her and cause her to do something nasty to you.

Would it be possible to keep the back backgrounds as they are, but give the player the choice of whether they wish to see boxes on the borders or to crop the images? Though this would require having to figure some way to get the engine to crop the images for you you and I don't know how difficult that would be to code.

In the Star Wars games didn't you have to go around slaughtering innocent people if you wanted to develop the Sith powers of the dark side?
