Baron, those techno-toilets of yours belong in a Charlie Foxtrot game.

Meanwhile, this toilet in Thailand has a strict no-peper policy.

Those are some pretty ugly mugs! Good thing this cup is in focus.

The next archaeological discovery in my parents attic..

EXHIBIT #24: DINOTOPIA

Oddly enough, I never actually played this game! I vaguely remember seeing it at a friend's house and curiously, somehow I ended up with it!

What else have you got in that treasure chest of yours?

All will be revealed in time.. I'll post the rest in a couple of weeks when I get back from a job in Whoop Whoop!

Damn, I remember that, it's called Castle Quest or something - don't remember the real title.

Edit: was it called Castle Adventure?

GarageGothic is correct! Castle Adventure was done before..

I'm going to have nightmares tonight!

Gribbler, I'm very impressed (and a bit turned on) by your amazing, mint-condition game collection. You also appear to have superior photo taking abilities. Bravo, sir!

Meanwhile, entombed in a large dusty plastic storage container in my parents attic, I found this oddity..

Success! I have returned from the deepest darkest corner of my parent's attic and found..

Mmmmmm.... Toast!

(I took it out of it's plastic bag).

Sorry Gribbler, I'm being facetious. I DO have games that ONCE came in a box! Believe me! Whether the boxes still exist is another question, but when I get a chance I'll have a good search for them!

Lovely Monkey Island post btw. That's the first time I've seen the 'Dial-a-Pirate' wheel in colour (I'd only ever seen a photocopied version).

And kudos to Babar on the Myst post. I have located my Myst CD, but the bloody box has gone walkabout!

Sorry Gribbler, I couldn't find any old game boxes, which probably do still exist somewhere (I think in my parent's attic). But I dropped in at my parent's house this afternoon and Dad retrieved these curious artifacts..

I can't remember "Super Secret Spell Adventure", but I'm sure it's exciting and educational.

Sleuth is there too!

     

     

That's a pretty sexy mug, ghost!

Show us yer mug! 

KERPLUNK!

I'm hearing those marching guys that guard the Wicked Witch's castle, but maybe that's just me.

Correct!

Fly, my pretties! Fly!

Now, back to work you muppets!

Quite please! It's time for bed! zzzz..

ooWEEEEooo.... WEEooooo oh!

I love the art style.

Main character moves as if he's shit his pants!

Music is a tad heavy and chaotic for the initial scene. Suggest using the music for a darker, livelier scene, like a death metal concert, or when the plot progresses and some heavy shit is going down.

Suggest making 'walk' the default action.. and you need to indicate which action is selected during play (i.e. with a visual cue, as Cassie said in the above post).

Civilization II ??

Interesting discussion..
which I dare not participate in..

But I will direct your attention to THIS VIDEO

Life is a game!

Fair shake of the sauce bottle, mate!
(sorry, I couldn't resist!)
