SamNMax Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 For about four years I've been replaying all of my Lucasarts adventure games, and I've been getting really board with them. I'm looking for some adventures from different companys. Can anybody make suggestions? The only Adventure games I have from different companys are The 7th Guest, Simon the Sorcerer 1 (Which I've given up trying to fix ), The Last Express, and the Longest Journey.

mercatfat Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Veil of Darkness is incredible. I'd elaborate, but later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalek Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Whats the problem with simon? Maybe running it via ScummVM will fix things? anyway back to the question at hand.. You haven't listed any games from revolution or sierra. Try poke around adventuregamers and search lucasforums for similiar threads like this in the past...

Alien426 Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I liked Death Gate, the Revolution games Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1+2, Legend Of Kyrandia: The Hand Of Fate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 And if that doesn't work, then AdventureSoft's patch should help make Simon feel better. (Or look at the support page. Anyway, STS 2 might be worth looking into. Oh, and DISCWORLD NOIR. It's one of the best games ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adventurer Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Discworld Noir is one of the greatest Adventure Games ever. Zork Grand Inquisitor is up there too. Zork Nemesis if you don't mind dark moody Myst clones. But note it is the GREATEST Myst clone ever. Infact it eats Myst for breakfast with eggs and Sausage.

BooJaka Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Any of the Space Quest seires by Sierra are great if you don't mind maybe dying sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a different problem, see the support pages." Er, so yeah I guess it is. It's definitely worth a try anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsgood2slide Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 I reccomend Little Big Adventure 2, Toonstruck & Broken Sword. (Strange no one has mentioned these 3 so far...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamNMax Posted April 16, 2003 Author Share Posted April 16, 2003 I can't play Twinsen's Odessy since I never played Reletless. I just got Broken Sword, and Toonstruck SUCKS! Also, I would really like people to focus on my Simon problem (The patch didn't work). installed it and all, but when I typ "SIMON" in DOS mode, it says, "CDR101 NOT READY READING DRIVE D." I think it's because I don't have enough space on my D drive. What can I do to get more space besides uninstalling other games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What can I do to get more space besides uninstalling other games? Drive D is your CD drive, right? YES: a) you can't delete from it b) be sure to load the DOS drivers when you access from DOS mode NO: Did you copy the original CD onto your hard disc? YES: Re-install the game or re-assign the drive letter to your CD-ROM in a configuration file. NO, I downloaded the game: You little ****er. Go buy the ****ing game.

SamNMax Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 I just think the games f***ked up. When ever I reinstall it, and choose the drive I want it to run on, it says that NONE of the drive have enough MB for the game to run. That's not right, because I millions of free space von drive C. But when I hit "retry" It just keeps on installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Oh, how could I forget Little Big Adventure 2?? The all time joint best game ever!! I played it before I played LBA 1, which was a good thing cos LBA 1 wasn't particularly amazing, and is entirely isometric. I think the whole things an aquired taste though, I love that whole French madness scene - like the french movies, this game is slightly out of mainstream - but in a good way, non?

Jake Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 i played the first LBA game whatever it was called here in the US... i liked it a lot... thats an adventure game? anyway, even though I haven't played them yet I'd recommend the Broken Sword games and Beneath a Steel Sky among others... I really want to play them and they've come highly recommended from quite a lot of people, including most people in this thread I'm being redundant so its time to shut up.

Remi Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 I'm gonna be even more redundant and say that you have to play the BS games to be considered "cool" and "of good taste". That is all. ¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted April 18, 2003 Share Posted April 18, 2003 Broken Sword 1 is about 4 or 5 times better than Broken Sword 2, and Broken Sword 2 is equally as good as Fate of Atlantis, and better than Day of the Tentacle, just nowhere near as funny. LBA is an adventure - you have an inventory, and you have to solve puzzles. In that respect its like an RPG, but the fight system is better, so I class it as an adventure.

SamNMax Posted April 18, 2003 Author Share Posted April 18, 2003 Yeah, Broken Sword is great. And I just got the 11th Hour: The Sequal to the 7th Guest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZaXeriaw Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 I think the best non-LEC adventure is The Longest Journey, it has an incredible storyline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted April 25, 2003 Share Posted April 25, 2003 The Longest Journey.. almost the perfect adventure game. Almost. How I love that game, I cannot recommend it highly enough, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamNMax Posted April 25, 2003 Author Share Posted April 25, 2003 I don't know. I felt after I played TLJ, there was something missing... A great game, but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oystein Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 I've only tried the norwegian version of TLJ. Terrible voice acting. It's really awful. But the story was amazing. And all the dialogue was extremely well written. Ragnar Tørnquist is a talented writer. I hope the sequel will be just as great. And I'm gonna buy the English one this time.
