A Zorro adventure game

[Sir Perceval of Daventry]

Personally, along with Indiana Jones, Zorro (especially as played by Tyrone Power, Guy Williams and Anthony Hopkins) is one of my favorite heroes. Unlike Indy, there has never been a VGA Sierra or LucasArts style adventure game made based on the character. I posted this over at the IA forums a while back but I also am posting it here; I really think it'd be a great idea and that Zorro is a character utterly fit for a Sierra style adventure game. Would anyone else want to see a VGA, graphic adventure game with Zorro?

I personally never cared for Zorro. But I don't personally care for the wild west in general.

Zorro's technically not wild west, and he definitely doesn't fall into the genre of "Western" at all. He's literally a 19th century version of Batman. In fact, the creators of Batman so loved Zorro that they basically made Batman to be a 20th century, beefed up version of Zorro

yeah, I know it's not exactly a western, but it reeks of it, which is probably what rubs me wrong about it. Dunno, could never really get into it. My uncle loved it and watched it all the time (the tv series). I would watch an episode with him every once in a while, but I was never convinced.

My concern would be how action-oriented most typical Zorro adventures are.  I'd think a pure point and click adventure game would have a hard time doing the character justice without at least some sort of major action-game element to it.  You can't have Zorro without acrobatics, sword-fights, and horseback riding.

Then again, Indy films are also very action oriented, and they pulled that off in point and click form beautifully.

[Cez]

I was going to point that as well. Thing with Indie is that Indy is not only action oriented, there's a lot of archeological exploration and puzzle solving because of this. Zorro doesn't really have that element to it.

They did it for Batman, why not Zorro?

I'm not a connoisseur of Quest for Glory games, although I definitely respect the series, but it seems (to me) that a VGA Zorro game could be done in QFG style with some success... Or an oddball fangame called, "Zorrillo."

(I wonder if the Romans had a mythological hero named Vulpix. )
