Lemon Head Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 tex murphy! now there was a hardcore guy, the books that spawned off it were also really cool. that's a point - i dont like any of the myst series, i just find them too unrewarding and a bit pointless, but the myst books are amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 I liked Riven even though I sucked at it and didn't complete it. Not an "adventure game" per se but it was definitely a well thoought out complex as all hell puzzle. Aside from the exceptionally high learning curve at the start of the game it was superbly desgined. Myst III seemed sort of cobbled together and I didnt play it much at all.

Jake Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Also, I like "The Wonky Adventure," if anyone has played that? I think thats the working title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmatz Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 Originally posted by The Adventurer (I can't believe no ones metioned Zork yet!) I played Zork II and Grand Inquisitor, but I didn't really like them that much. Myst three was totally thrown together and wasn't that good at all. That reminds me, I need to finish it! Journeyman Series is my favorite non-Lucasarts games Adventure series of all time. I love those games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donkey Kong, Alex Kidd, Tetris.... Oh how I love classic games. =mek= God- what is your problem? Technically in my opinion, games like Prince Of Persia are an adventure game, even though it's not a game you can save (arcade is the word I'm looking for I think) Legend Of Kyrandia was definatly an adventure game and so was Lesiure Suit Larry 3, ok so maybe the Sims and Wolfenstien aren't adventure games- but they're still some of my fave games, so I included them. Scabb mentioned the Sims and you didn's say anything about him mentioning it. Sure the games I mentioned might be 'classics' as you call them- but I prefer those classics and the way you make it sound it's a bad thing, just like it was my opinion on starwars, and you call me childish for it and it feels like all you're doing is making snide remarks about stuff I say or picking me up on tiny little insignificant details. Sorry- I do apologize if this wasn't the intention you had, it's late I need sleep, but it's my opinion and I do feel like you're critasizing me and I do get rather annoyed about it sometimes when I feel like I'm not allowed to have an opinion. Also to everyone else I do apologize, didn't mean to be so *****y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnn Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Natty, don't let Daniel bother you. For the record, they're not adventure games by the tighter definition we in the community have, but they could be considered adventure games by wider standards. Generally, when we say adventure, we usually mean the kind where communication and items play a larger part in your success than shooting and jumping. And where mostly, charachters don't have stats.

Schmatz Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 Usually, like in Lucas Adventure games, dying and losing aren't easy to come by... usually when playing adventure games, the player would get stuck at a point, but doesn't die or isn't killed by a boss! By the way Natty, those games are kickass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have a different definition of an adventure game- deal with it, and I'm not in denyal, if I was in denyal, trust me you would know. Sheeesh what the hell is wrong with some people? Is it normal for people to have poles shoved so far up their arses? No one else commented on them, obviously you're probably one of those trouble making wankers.

Lemon Head Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Natty, Darnn wasn't having a go at you, he was giving his own opinion of why certain comments were made in an orderly manner - your reaction was totally uncalled for and any more of that kind will lead to consequences this is a warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark spirit Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Originally posted by Lemon Head About 1 to 1 and a half years ago Are you sure we mean the same game?

Lemon Head Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 of course i don't mean the feeble files! (ironic name considering THAT particular title's quality of gameplay) Simon 3 is being re-released which is why it is 'not out yet' but trust me on this, it has been for over a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember receiving a mail from Adventuresoft on their Simon 3d mailing list, saying that it had gone gold, but that they lost the publishing deal.
