It would be great if the game were released on CD, but would Lucas Arts allow you to sell it, Considering that is based on the Loom Universe. If you do the whole digitized speech and sound effects make sure you provide captions, especially if there are sound based puzzles. 

Spoiler

I played Loom in normal mode and had trouble at the end because I couldn't distinguish between the different notes well when they didn't light up on my wand like they used to.

...ok, the curiosity is killing me, why is a 13 year old boy without any hair? Does he have alopecia or something?

lol I honestly don't know that's how I've always drawn him. Maybe he shaves his head and leaves a few strands because he's got four short strands. Two on each side of his head. lol.

Maybe it's a Charlie Brown type of thing, I mean nobody ever asks why HE's bald!

Kind of reminds me of that "3 Little Pigs" video by the band "Green Jello"

Well, if you go the CD route you could reasonably charge 5 dollars which seams like a fair price and should hopefully cover any distribution cost.

Will you really be distributing the game on CD like in the picture?

It would be nice if some of the larger games (over 400 megs) came on CD. Of course I understand that the players would have to pay some amount for the cost of the CD.

Never really considered the Bord evil myself (except for maybe the queen). In my mind they were probably doing a favor to the races the assimilated.

The screenshots look nice, and the hero looks a bit like Stephen Colbert.

What are the copyright rules involving parody and fair use? They make fun of final fantasy on Robot Chicken, so if your game is a parody you might be able to get away with using the characters and stuff as long as you don't rip any sprites. if your game is serious though it might be harder to claim fair use.

On a related note didn't Quest For Glory 4.5 contain ripped sprites and backgrounds from the game? How did they get away with it and not receive a cease and desist?

Are there any plugins for AGS that can allow you to read a PDF file from within a game? If so maybe you could have it as an external file and just let the plugin handle it while in game.

You may want to try Amazon or "Good old Games" at http://www.gog.com

Fanfiction can be lots of fun. And once you have mastered fanfiction then you can advance to the more complex art of creating fangames!

You may want to check out the verb coin interface as this sounds rather similar.

Maybe have someway to use picnic baskets to pacify the bears?

In order to collect all 500 Pokemon, wouldn't you have to separately buy each game in the series? That's how they make their money!

Guess the Doctor's companion isn't effected by the cold weather of the arctic!

Talk about the right to "Bear Arms", how about the right to "Arm Bears"? I assume the bears can only attack close targets and don't have ranged attacks? It would be funny if the bears suddenly learned how to pick up guns and shoot back at the soldiers.

Did this question or something similar appear in the "Ask Marilyn" column? It seams vaguely familiar.

One could think of some monsters as just a type of animal that is unknown to you. But if the monster is supernatural in Nature than it would probably be scarier.

That game somebody suggested where you play a zombie and have to avoid the angry mob actually would be one I would like to play. The reason zombies eat people because is NOT because they are evil, but it is because they can't help it, eating people helps dull the pain of being dead. Rather than eating people I would have them eat Spam and drink spoiled milk that comes from undead cows. After feeding them spam the zombie would regain their whits and then you could engage them in conversation like you would a normal human.

Maybe somebody can rip the models and import them into "Unreal Tournament"?

The first screen looks to be completely black on my computer.
