I always wanted to play through Masquerade and Bloodlines...but never got to either. Masquerade, at the time I believe, was suffering from a lot of bugs and some other problems, but it always looked like such a cool game. I remember [at the time] being blown away by the graphics. :) My only exposure...

This would mean that certain puzzles and story line paths would open up in "Al Emmo 2"; and these would only occur if you did certain things in Al Emmo 1. And Al Emmo 1's export file wouldn't only limit changes in Al Emmo 2, but could also have possible repercussions in, say, Al Emmo 4.  ...

William Goldstein, famous orchestral composer. Amazing, some of the guys who composed for Sierra (Safan, Hammer, etc.). - Alistair WOW...I had NO idea Goldstein did some game composing! That is amazing, as he is really one of the legends of movie scores. Definitely the composer of some of my favori...

saved games for Grim Fandango & KOTOR II?

Hey folks...I have a request, if anyone is willing to help me out: A year or so ago, I had a hard drive crash. I was going through Grim Fandango...and LOVING it. However, with the crash, I lost my saved games. I was curious if someone had a saved game they could send me via email...I had just gotten...

Haha, yeah it IS funny how close most of us are in age.

I'm 27, and I'm moving to West LA next month.
Grew up in Southern California.

I think my first adventure game was KQ5 (a neighbor had it; the VGA graphics BLEW ME AWAY!!!)

QfG4 It's interesting that so many people seem to really like QfG4, despite the bugs.  That teaches us something.

'Dark' humor as they say. They've managed to make the adventure world funny without making you (the main character) look like a complete moron and accidental hero. Mixed with (not fairy tales) mythological events/beasts. Yeah, I guess you could call it 'dark humor' ... I just explain it as a game t...

"Because you DO need to wait"

Haven't been here in a while, but saw that there's still the usual "get it done" messages abroad. There was even enough frustration by the AGD team that there was lengthy posts for responses! My oh my! So anyway, I thought it might be fun to amass a list of semi-current games that can keep...

Well since the vast majority of us will be getting to play QG2VGA with Tom's remastered soundtrack for the very first time (only those lucky few who had an MT-32 are the exception), I thought it might be fun to see which theme you'll be most excited to hear in all its glory...and maybe also which th...

It's amazing that a lot of the games you have listed above are actually coming along quite nicely (or at least from what I can tell).

What would you all say that Broken Sword, Longest Journey, and the Siberia games most play like? I'm curious, because one thing I really miss about adventure games is the type of humor you'd find in Quets for Glory. Yeah it was corny...and often times bordering on plain-out bad...but it was fun!

Well since Al Emmo (rightly) gets front-seat to QG2VGA & we likely still have a while to wait, I was curious what everyone has been doing to "fill the void". Is QG2VGA at the top of your "want" list? Out of all the games coming out, it and Al Emmo are, even above all the &quo...
