Somebody really ought to point out that the whole point of the cliché is that apples and oranges are too dissimiler to make a meaningful comparison thus, objectively speaking, the poll is unanswerable. Non-objectively speaking, I'm not even sure it's possible to have a strong opinion one way or th...

seriously, geez...

But also, I've been a dedicated fan and trust me if there was a way to donate to this project I would have donated a lot more than $39.99 over the years... And buying Al Emmo, even if you don't like it, is not a way of donating? :rolleyes yes it is, and I fully planned on buying the game... But i j...

I said I downloaded the game just to check if the intro cutscenes and full motion video stuff was the same Ha! Bullshit you downloaded it just to check out the cutscenes and then deleted it! You're no comedian, but that statement has great comedic merit. You know, I found $50 on the ground once whi...

except for the Raseir portion which makes the days slightly shorter and also allows you to rest more frequently. May I just say.... THANK GOD!!!! ...and you guys of course. Nothing like having to leave your hero staring at the wall of the Blue Parrot while you go watch TV, becuase you can't do anyt...

Also, tbh you're being bearable now. But looking at some of your old threads and the things you said to people, you've already set up a reputation of being a bit of a dick. Reputations stick, and generallly you can only get rid of one if you REALLY try, what you're saying and doing is definately no...

was it for a big game publisher?

The AGDI team really puts up with a lot, and has been pretty good about dealing with all the flack they get for release dates over the years... But also, I've been a dedicated fan and trust me if there was a way to donate to this project I would have donated a lot more than $39.99 over the years......

I have a couple, though I should really do some new ones. Looking back, I think some of my methods are strange compared to the way I do it now. I would really suggest starting a canvas at 320 x 240 (or 200). I have no idea why I used to start with 640x480.... Need any tips, just ask! http://www.cor...

what game were you working on?

...your mind judges things, and it can always be done objectively... No offense, but do you even understand the definition of "objectively"? I know that if you judge things objectively you produce facts... Fact, oranges, on the average, produce more juice than apples... Fact, oranges, on ...

The Dig and Loom are too shallow when compared to a sierra game... Loom, maybe, due to its length more than anything, but The Dig? I could never describe that as shallow. I mean, the original idea was for a Spielburg movie - the lack of technology at the time resulted in the game in its place. Of c...

It doesn't seem to have a dedicated page working yet so just go to the blogs front page... http://www.theschoolforheroes.com/wordpress/ I thought I'd reprint it here so you don't have to go to the link, let me know if that's against the forums rules or something......

there was a pretty cool tutorial on of these sites in the adventure game making community, I can't remember where... does anybody know? it was called like, "Background Art (Tutorial)" and it was done with Sierra style backgrounds in mind and talked about how they do it too, anybody know of...

Honestly, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed. It seems a game with prettier vga graphics and the classic mouse controlled interface will be the same old qfg2 and it'll get predictable after awhile. I don't really agree with the rest of what you said, you're judgment of the creators of this remake was ...

This is a public forum, and you, of course, have the right to ask whatever your big Sierra-gaming heart desires. And, to put all of this nonsense to rest.. I am on the WEST COST in San Francisco, California in the USA. AGD2 (Chris) and I will be flipping the switch sometime in the evening on Sunday...

Hmmm... let's see... And no, I did not buy AL & EMMO.. but I'm sorry, I promise to buy their next game.... Only thing I can think is that you illegaly downloaded it then... in which case you DON'T have the right to make critique... and how can you make a fair judgment from a demo? That doesn't ...

How is bitching about needing an exact time constructive criticism? And why (when you know you'll get ripped apart for it) do you use terms like "I think the fans deserve to know". Nothing is owed to you, or any of us. Any time put in for support or anything is voluntary. You've done noth...

that's weird, i can't delete this post...

will the game be released on Sunday? Will it be at exactly 12am on Sunday? or sometime during the day or afternoon? I know this question is borderline annoying but honestly, I just don't want to have to reload the forums and front page every 5 mins on Sunday, I don't think that will be good for band...

Oranges all the way, the best juiciest, dank tasting orange, is much better to me than the best tasting apple... I even like pears more than apples... people who use this weak cliche' are scared to be judged or to have the things they love/like be judged... get over it... your mind judges things, an...

Dragonsphere is quite good but there are no RPG elements to it and he's a king not a hero. Now that you mention it, though, he does look quite like the Hero in QFG1VGA. I own the CD-Rom version. Haven't beaten it yet, though. Has a great MT-32 soundtrack. Return of the Phantom and Rex Nebular made ...

ok ok ok... terrific terrifc... what TIME on sunday?

its not even a contest.... LucasArts only had maybe 7 undeniably great games... 2 great monkey islands, 2 great indiana jones's, 2 maniac mansions and a BASS... Do you mean Beneath A Steel Sky? That wasn't LucasArts. And what about Zak McCracken? Loom? Sam & Max? The Dig? I disagree about only ...

its not even a contest.... LucasArts only had maybe 7 undeniably great games... 2 great monkey islands, 2 great indiana jones's, 2 maniac mansions and a BASS... those are their best games... compare those to the best Sierra 6 which are hard to decide, but lets say you got, 2 QFG'S, 2 Space Quests, 2...
