The Adventurer

[QueZTone]

i couldnt do a search on the old topic of The Adventurers so I opened a new one..

 

 

How many are there? From which dates? What's on the covers? Do we have a certain list? Do we have images of covers?

 

What happened to the mojo request of getting all The Adventurers, how many did mojo get? Does mojo have scans of the covers?

[Wizball]

Ok here we go (again)

 

- 13 issues were released (No. 1-14).

No. 13 doesn't exist because "13" is a unlucky number.

 

 

#01 Fall 1990 - Secret of The Luftwaffe cover

 

#02 Spring 1991 - Star Wars goes Nintendo cover

 

#03 Fall 1991 - Indy in Atlantis cover

[BooJaka]

Just thought I'd let you know.

[Gabez]

Go here if you don't have any copies but want to know what the contents are like. Shame LucasArts don't still do 'em.

[Benny]

You're seasonal avatar is brilliant Gabez.

I feel festive already, altogether now 'keelhaul with bows of holly....'

Lol, by sheer chance I have the first adventurer. It was in my copy of Loom I bought from the USA, I didn't know it was in the package cos the seller didn't say so and it wasn't in the photo.

[QueZTone]

i know what you mean, three of the adventurers i have were a surprise after i opened the box

[Scummbuddy]

I completly freaked when I bought the old disks versions of MI 1 and 2 and in the first box was the first adventurer and it wasnt in the pic on ebay.

[Swordmaster]

I have issues #1, #4, #5, #7, #8, #11 (twice) and #14.

10. Special cameo by Charo!

9. Kids at school will laugh at you if you don't.

8. It contains the antidote for the deadly virus we snuck on you[sic] hard disk when you installed Monkey 1.

7. It'll put hair on your back.

6. It will mean one less copy my mom has to buy.

5. It doesn't have the word "Quest" in the title.

4. Every time you pirate a game, a fairy dies.

3. Odds of winning a million dollars cash are about equal whether you buy MI2 or a state lottery card.

2. Chicks dig it.

 

...and the number one reason you should buy The Secret of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge is...

 

1. Your parents will hate it.

I especially like number four on the list. It's got a certain contemporary flavor to it with this "Everytime you masturbate, God kills a kitten" joke running around the Net.

[elTee]

I like number 5 - "It doesn't have the word 'Quest' in the title" the most.

[QueZTone]

but Police Quest 1 and 2 own!

[elTee]

I like police quest 1 as well, and space quest, but the joke is still funny.
