I'm progressing slowly but steadily through KQ2VGA, and I'm awed at its quality! The handling of the story is really clever. Nice touch showing Graham as a young boy! But you can't fool me, I'd recognize Adam Greene a mile away, even if he is wearing a black wig! <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":b">

Thanks, Petter! Glad you're liking the game. But why'd you have to go and rat out Adam? He was placed under a secret identity protection program after saving the environment one too many times. To this point, he was living happily under his new guise, but now he may be in serious danger of GAYS (garbologists against youthful sanitation) tracking him down.

If this is a joke, I don't get it. Who is Adam Greene?

adeyke · #4 Post by **adeyke** » Sat Apr 05, 2003 2:11 am

The protagonist of the Eco Quest games, a 2-part sierra adventure-game edutainment series.

Broomie · #5 Post by **Broomie** » Sat Apr 05, 2003 2:11 am

He was the main character from Ecoquest. He was a small lad who helps his father recycle and clean up the environment. <img src="http://users.domaindlx.com/Broomie/broomienew.jpg" style="border:0;"/>

Dam! Adeyke beat me to it by 14 seconds, oh well, we answered the question. <img src="http://users.domaindlx.com/Broomie/broomienew.jpg" style="border:0;"/>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... broomie</A> at: 4/17/03 4:21:07 pm

Well, I suppose I should give him a break. It's not easy for these guys to make a living these days. I heard Larry Laffer got on the booze and is in rehab. And Laura Bow only gets minor npc parts in shoddy RPG:s...

But Hero is doing pretty good. I heard he settled down, tied the knot, and took some governmental job or something. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"> ~El Ravager~ <img src="http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/gandalfsigtag.jpg" style="border:0;"/> Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... hegreat>El Ravager the Great</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.ezboard.com/ezgfx/gicons/black_greenspot.gif" BORDER=0> at: 4/10/03 10:52:29 pm

Well at least Laura Croft is still in the news....with more to come very soon!!

Wolfgang Abenteuer · #10 Post by **Wolfgang Abenteuer** » Thu Apr 17, 2003 9:27 pm

Laura Croft? You mean like Lara Croft from Tomb Raider?? Or did you mean Lara Bow? ~Wolfgang

Deledrius · #11 Post by **Deledrius** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 4:47 am

That's Laura Bow. <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"> Hey... EcoQuest... I liked the second one. Hmm, another potential remake option...? -------------------- Art: http://www.the-labyrinth.f2s.com Science: http://www.zero-factorial.com

You're right. Sorry about that! Too much QFG3, I guess (if that's possible)... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"> ~Wolfgang

As both Eco Quest games were already VGA, they won't be remade.

Deledrius · #14 Post by **Deledrius** » Sat Apr 19, 2003 5:34 am

Was the first one VGA? I remember it not looking anywhere near as good as most of Sierra's beautiful VGA games. -------------------- Art: http://www.the-labyrinth.f2s.com Science: http://www.zero-factorial.com

It certainly was. Here's a screenshot of the first: <img src="http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~deykea/tag ...  Personally, I didn't see anything wrong with the graphics.

Broomie · #16 Post by **Broomie** » Sat Apr 19, 2003 2:33 pm

The graphics were okay IMO. They were like any other Sierra game. I couldn't ever be bothered to finish the game, I got up to the part where you insert the trident into the 3 holes and you see the oracle thingy. Can you actually die in that game? <hr /> <img src="http://users.domaindlx.com/broomie/broomie_newer.jpg" style="border:0;"/>

adeyke · #17 Post by **adeyke** » Sat Apr 19, 2003 6:45 pm

I don't think there's a single way to die there. There don't seem to be dead ends, either.

Pidgeot · #18 Post by **Pidgeot** » Thu Apr 24, 2003 12:15 am

In EcoQuest, there is no way to die. The games are meant to be educational, and as such, they can't be too hard. I'm currently stuck in EQ2. I know what I have to do, but the game won't let me... Pidgeot ----- Every error you find is the last one.

adeyke · #19 Post by **adeyke** » Thu Apr 24, 2003 12:25 am

What part of the game are you in and just what is it that you are trying to do?

Pidgeot · #20 Post by **Pidgeot** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 12:07 am

It's the beginning of the game, in the big tree. I'm trying to get past the hoatzin. Now, I know I must get some scented flowers in the tree, but the game just won't let me. I've pretty much tried clicking every single pixel of the flowers, but to no avail. Pidgeot ----- Every error you find is the last one.

adeyke · #21 Post by **adeyke** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 1:52 am

I'm not sure what the problem could be there. I got the flowers just fine when I tried just now. You are trying to get the purple flowers at the bottom right of the screen left of the egg, right?

Pidgeot · #22 Post by **Pidgeot** » Mon Apr 28, 2003 12:37 pm

Bottom RIGHT? Well, that would explain it... I was told they were in the bottom left... Oh well. Thanks anyway. Pidgeot ----- Every error you find is the last one.

Yea, I noticed Adam during the First Test... I was waiting for Delphineus or the Oracle to show up.... that would have made a great easter egg... explaining the ripped off graphics, like an outraged crew of out of work game characters. Laura Bow, Delphineus, Arne Saknoosen and various other oldies could be shown picketing or complaining, or trashing a scene. I think it has possibilities. If I ever get around to making my own game, maybe i will try it.
