Laura Bow is amazing!

Especially dagger of Amon Ra, one of my fav adventures of all times!

my all time fav are the Gabriel Knight series... and lately I LOVE the Final Fantasy series.

I'm now playing Warcraft 3 (well, it's been months sicne the last time I played it) and Parasite Eve on PS2 (also months since played it. I don't hav time to play these days :( THat's what happens when you decide to be project director/writer. Oh well, I love it anyways! I'm not complaining!

Indeed Kyrandia are amazing. My fav was hand of Fate, the second, although the first one is pretty good as well. Malcolm's revenge is....... well....... I didn't like it much.

Recently, on the adventure field, I've played Syberia. Good game, but I really never found what the fuzz was all about. Longest Journey is SOOOO much better. Well, there's not much out there anymore, so maybe that was the case.

I'm now waiting for Final Fanatasy X part 2 :D

that's all folks!

And while I'm asking, has anyone played "Lost in Time"? It was marketed as a Sierra game, although the packaging may say otherwise. I have it, just the CD and I got a little ways into it, seemed like a pretty good game.

Yeah, I played Lost in Time. I don't remember much now, but I played it. I've played 95% of Sierra's adventures out there :D

Betrayal at Krondor was an EXCELLENT game. But I guess that yes, now it must be pretty creepy.

I have the Laura Bows mysteries on my KQ collection CDs. I lost CD2 of that, but I think the LB are either in 1 or 3. So I could send it to you.

Oooo. That'd be great! BTW, you inspired to go bid on ebay for a copy of The Longest Journey, I'd almost bought in stores a number of times before though!  :)

Do you have my snail mail address? Email me about it :)

Post by: Say on March 08, 2003, 05:35:02 PM
yeah along the other known ones that involve dark plots and killing and violence :P

hhahaI like strategy too, anothers like Tomb Raider, Quake and stuff... and kiddie games too like this one of mario smash bro, hehe, pokemon kicking ass! nothing more funny, and all those cute little nintendo tiny stuff beating each other badly hehe ;D

But to be honest... I REALLY REALLY liked Silent Hill... nothing did scared the s*** out of me the most than that game, since I used to play it at night oh well.

When I saw the ring, and it remind me of it, this dark atmosphere they create not with -music- but with sounds, god amazing and really really spooky.

Have any of you ever played Betrayal in Antara? It's an awesome game, inspired by Betrayal at Krondor, but it's more modern and the pictures are WAY better. The graphics are nice. There'a place called the Common Room that has fans of BAK and BIA, and other games as well. I wrote some fanfiction for BIA, you can find it at:

what I'm playing now:

UnrealII
C&C:Generals
Simcity4
Need for Speed:Hot Pursuit2
Hitman2
Escape From Monkey Island

Other than KQ9,I'd like to see Ultima's remake or sequel,and Crusader's  sequel(ie CrusaderIII). I'm a big fan of some old games that made by Origin System.

What about the Legend of Zelda Series?  No one said it HAD to be a computer game other than KQ...  Zelda is AWSOME!  I've played everyone released to the general public (I cant play windmaker, though, not a gamecube fan), though there are some "rouge" ones NOT for the nintento consoles that I obviously cant play.

Post by: KatieHal on March 10, 2003, 09:17:23 AM
Oh, duh! Zelda kicks ass!! they need to make another one with adult Link, he's so hot!  :-*

I'm also currently playing Chrono Cross, and I played most of Chrono Trigger on my computer. Final Fantasy is great of course...I own 7-9, but I've only beaten 9.

Anyone ever play Star Ocean 2? It's for Playstation, pretty good game!

BTW, Takari....what does the quote line at the bottom of your signature mean??
Title: Games OTHER than King's Quest?!?
Post by: TakariFreak on March 10, 2003, 09:29:41 AM
haha!  I was waiting for someone to ask.  It's from Robin Hood: Men in Tights.  The line was spoken by the Sheriff of Rottinghan, and he has a bit of an issue putting words in the right order.

The correct order, of course is "It is illegal to kill a wild pig in the King's forest."

I LOVED FF9!!!!
its my fav, that and 7.
To be honest FF8 I dont like much, its like not along what it used to be anyways? I mean you can summon like you drop a punch, besides, it loses a bit that -fantasy- theme that you can TOTALLY see on any other FF, so its like... just like the movie alright FF spirit within... it was ok, but I just didnt see it FF like. :(
Title: Games OTHER than King's Quest?!?
Post by: KatieHal on March 11, 2003, 09:24:58 PM
Epseically with the summoning that takes TWO MINUTES AT LEAST EVERY DAMN TIME.

THat's probably what gave the game half of its length, time-wise!!
Title: Games OTHER than King's Quest?!?
Post by: Cez on March 12, 2003, 05:06:57 PM
hey hey!!

Final Fantasy 8 is my fav Final Fantasy!!!!

then again, I'm weird.

And I love Aeris much better than Tifa!

FINAL FANTASY RULES

(Waiting for Final Fantasy X-2)

oh, and by the way.

OI recently finished Chrono Cross

Stupid game

I SOOOOOOOOOO HATED IT.
Title: Games OTHER than King's Quest?!?
Post by: KatieHal on March 12, 2003, 08:33:23 PM
That's not encouraging I've onyl heard good things so far!!

Then again, you like FF8 bet and Aeris over Tifa. Dude, let's be serious - Tifa could whip Aeris's ass anyday. Clearly the superior female.

Post by: Say on March 12, 2003, 08:40:01 PM
FF8 is a good game, yes, but still there are other FF games which are WAY better ;D

about chrono cross, sounds familiar but i think i haevnt played it? ?? :(
Title: Games OTHER than King's Quest?!?
Post by: KatieHal on March 12, 2003, 09:00:34 PM
It's a sequel to Chrono Trigger, a very popular game that came out for SNES. Chrono Cross takes place 20 years later (though I haven't figured out the connection just yet) and is for Playstation.

I don't really play many games any more, since I'm always hooked watching Sailor Moon and doing college work (as well as surfing el Internet).

Asides from King's Quest though, I do enjoy the Monkey Island series, and playing the Pokémon games *imported Pokémon Sapphire*.  I also like Sonic and Mario games.

What!  You lile Digimon, KQ, Sailor Moon,  and play pokemon?  Man, are you sure you're not my clone?  Those 4 things are what I love for!

Post by: MangoMercury on April 10, 2003, 06:20:35 AM
Lol Takari, I don't think we're related in any way, clonewise or not =P  But that's what I love about the 'net, finding people with common interests *yay!*  But at least I know that someone here is almost me =D

I really liked the Gobliiins series, Very funny and all puzzles. Kyrandia is very good too. The games I'm currently playing include Battlefield 1942, KQ2+, KQ3, LSL3. I run a gaming community (http://www.lvga.org) thats based primarily around counterstrike so I jump in there every now and then. I don't play it too much lately though, I leave it to my lackeys to do the admining :).  

Another game I loved was meanstreets. My very first ever VGA game, and to hear actual music and voices coming from the pc speaker was quite a treat.

Post by: Oldbushie on April 21, 2003, 03:51:25 PM
Yeah, Gobliiins is a great game. :) The third one got a bit tricky sometimes, but with a little help I made it through.
