Wouldn't it be better to submit articles about adventure gaming to the Wikipedia, where they'll be accessible to a larger audience? Of course, articles that aren't of general interest (details about specific AGS games etc.) would be very appropriate for a more specialized wiki like this. It's a cool...

I didn't like it. The art style was trying to be Broken Sword but with less talented artists, and the puzzles were contrived. And although it is set in the US, it was painfully obvious that it was made by someone who has never been to America.

Yes, on LCD screens there is a difference. LCD screens (unlike CRTs) have a native resolution, since the pixels are physically part of the screen. That's the only resolution they can really display at. Any other (lower) resolutions are achieved by smoothly stretching the image to fit the resolution ...

In the setup application for AGS games, there's a handy little checkbox that allows you to set 640x400 or 640x480 resolution, using pixel-doubling. Even if you can run 320x200 resolution, it might make it be sharper.

Heh. Your loss.

Sorry, PC; the Ender novels are great, but not my favorite. Snarky, you want to pick one in particular as your guess? Alright, I'll go with the one I like best, Banks' Culture series. Though personally, I rate Ursula Le Guin's Hainish cycle (The Dispossessed, The Left Hand of Darkness etc.) higher....

Favorite SF series? Some high-probability possibilities:

Asimov - Future History (Robots/Foundation)
Simmons - Hyperion Cantos
Banks - Culture

As for Brian's Dune books, I think Penny Arcade expressed it best:

I am also a big Dune fan. Not sure I could read God Emperor without starting from the beginning of the series, though.

Have any of your read DOON?

Okay people, please calm down. QFG fan seems to be stepping on everybody's toes, but he really hasn't said anything offensive without at least putting a smiley or a "ha-ha just kidding" beside it. Hey, I like the little dude! If there's one thing I appreciate in a legal minor, it's a maso...

The legend of Solomon imprisoning and converting demons is not restricted to Islam. For instance, it's found in the apocryphal Testament of Solomon. As to what religion he converted them to, Islam sees all of the Jewish prophets, as well as Jesus, as messengers from God. So in that sense, they were ...

No, I just want to mock you because it's so damn easy.

You made this about you. If you hadn't been proclaiming your own superiority at every turn, people might have been willing to listen to your point.

Duckzilla, you're right. I've had it with this place. Can I please join the forum you're moderating devoted to the (100% bug free) adventure games you've made? PS: You are the greatest. I wanna be just like you when I grow up. Maybe you can tell me more about these higher standards you set for yours...

Yes, clearly the whole endeavor is meaningless, clearly no one could possibly get any enjoyment out of the game, clearly no one could be even mildly impressed by KQ1VGA. After all, it has one (non-fatal, easily avoidable) bug. Why bother indeed? Jeez, the AGDs sure are an embarrassment to the fangam...

JLM5, I dig the backgrounds, but I think these GUI icons aren't up to the same standard. Here's a few comments on things you might want to fix. Walk - I'll skip this one since BT did a paintover. It's actually the one I like the most, since the little dude looks so funky. Look - The strong colors ma...

Yeah, I think it's a coincidence. Or, more precisely, they're both drawing on Welsh sources.

Have you forgotten that Chemical Ali bombed Iraqis with chemical weapons? Now where are those weapons now? None were found, simply because they were hidden, or moved outside of Iraq (along with God knows what).

Or, as experts believe, destroyed in the late nineties.

It's in the most recent issue, #15. It's the "review of the month".

It's a DOTT-style game that's in beta. It was profiled in one of the last issues of The Inventory. Look it up on the AGS Forums.

I tried playing it, and it looks great, but there are enough bugs for me to wait for the final version.

A task like that isn't something you do for the reward. You do it for the joy of the task itself!

I take it it's a straight jump then. (straight up) Have you tried something like [...] Perhaps this kind of thing will work if you fiddle around with the numbers a bit. I can't check if it really works, but it may look better than your method of jumping when tweaked right. I played around with this...

I think (hope) Rambaldi meant hysterical as in funny. I made another banner earlier, but it's less amusing and probably came across as offensive. It's here if you want to have a look, though.

So I guess it's about time to start the countercampaign, eh? I have banners and everything. http://members.lycos.co.uk/snarkibartfast/banlf.jpg :lol Just kidding LF. And thanks for MM Deluxe! I've tried playing the original a couple of times, but the interface pissed me off with the excessive number...
