Title: Is it just me?
Post by: TribeHasSpoken on July 11, 2006, 10:13:21 PM
Have you ever noticed weird things in adventure games and wondered if it was just you, or if others had thought it too? Post it here. I'll start us off:

Is it just me...or does Gypsy Davy from Quest for Glory IV: Shadows of Darkness...

...look kind of like Gaston from Disney's Beauty and the Beast?

That’s funny! XB I never thought of it but then I only watched Beauty and the Beast once and that was oooooh ::)…when it first came out at the Video rental. They do look a lot alike though, accept the lips and the fact that one has wavy hair but that could just be a perm. hehe ;D

You know the death message when the lion eats you in KQ2?
QuoteCRUNCH, SNARL, CHOMP!
It kinda reminds me of "Snap, crackle, pop"... XD

No-one fights like Gaston
Douses lights like Gaston
Gets locked in the Burgomeister's office like Gaston...

Here's one. The icons from Wizard and the Princess (LEFT) and KQIII IA REMAKE (RIGHT) look a lot alike.

Sorry for double posting...

I just saw The Nightmare Before Christmas.
In my opinion, Lock, Shock, and Barrel's house:

Looks a lot like the two kids' house from KQ7 in Ooga Booga Land. It even has one of those cages on a pulley.

As I've never even played or seen most of these, I'd have to take your word for it, but I do think that the guardians of the Isle of Wonder (Those dwarf thingies...) look a lot like the seven dwarfs from Snow White... Is it just me...?

That looks very similar. I had never noticed that before.

Ooga Booga Land has always reminded me of The Nightmare Before Christmas. :yes:

Me too. And I have always thought the kids' houses looked very similar.

Is it just me...or does this girl from Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking For Love (In Several Wrong Places) look an awful lot like a certain girl in the tower?

I don't think she looks that much like Cassima, :-\ but that's probably just me. :P

Hrm...I don't think Cassima's Latin American thuogh...

Well...her hair is black.



Ah, I'm not seeing it. :P

Okay, I think it's safe to classify this one as "just me"

Well I thought it looked like Cassima! XD
