hello everyboby, my name is jerome and i'm studying computer games technology in scotland i love the games that provide good immersion most of the time the one with a good story but i believe you need more than that. I'm a geek but alos try to have a life at the same time, not very easy. i joined this forum in hope you could help me to find a point and click game.

jrme421!

Have no fear, you'll feel completely at home here. I'm sure there's something of a geek in all of us Adventure game fans.

Ask away. I'm sure someone will be able to help. If it's about a particular game, just start a new thread of your own.

Have fun!

Gelert.

Welcome aboard Jrme421

Hi jrme421 and

hatshepsut

Hello all! Sorry I haven't introduced myself yet, I've been scouring the gaming sites that I belong to (including GameTZ.com) looking for potential traders and buyers so I could either trade the action, simulation, and action-adventure games that I don't want for pure adventure games that I really do want, or sell all my unwanted games and use the money that I get from these sales to buy games that I do want from other gamers on these gaming sites, ebay, or amazon.com.

I'm also I comic book author, I like to do gameplay screenshot captures while playing my games, edit them in photoshop to put angels (including me as an angel) in them who're helping the main game characters, and some times I might edit the backgrounds to look like my adventures took place on the alien civilizations we angels are called to to lend asistence to in the quest to find answers - I got hooked on AG's in 1995 after my favorite uncle died and I saw a National Geographic Explorer Society program on TV, and immediately I thought Uncle Bill was having fun in Heaven cruising deep space in search for alien and human civilizations where he and his fellow angel friends might be called on to lend aid, they beam down from their space cruiser, and the camera person takes pictures of them and writes stuff about how Uncle Bill and his new friends are helping God's people while at the same time, they're searching for answers to baffling mysteries - like in "Unsolved Mysteries" on TV. I believe my comics could be where "National Geographic Explorer" meets "Unsolved Mysteries" meets "Star Trek".

Just wanted to give a big welcome to all new comers. Excellent site, great people, friendly atmosphere. Hope you enjoy your stay

Hi, I'm Borat... er, Zoran and I'm a seasoned adventurer. Or a rookie. It depends on how many adventure games you have played, I guess.
I've been playing adventures since 2000. Some of my most favo(u)rite games are Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit the Road, The Longest Journey, Discworld Noir, Duckman: The Legend of the Fall and so on. I prefer funny cartoonish adventures, as you can see.

I'm here mostly because of Geralt... oops, Gelert (I know him as Jacques for quite a long time, it's not easy for me to adjust to his new nick so quickly). He is my idol because he's so damn good in guessing the adventures from screenshots and in other adventure games-related quizes. I hope I'll be (at least) as good as him when I grow up.

I hope you'll understand my lousy English (it's not my native langage) and wouldn't mind my typos, bad spelling and (even worse) humo(u)r.

Cheers!

I haven't played any of those games yet but most of them are in my to play pile.

I hope you enjoy it here. Gelert has made a wonderful place for us here and we have a great bunch of people.

I think we all want to be as good as Gelert when we grow up

You should play all of them by all means, Hatshepsut.

Thank you very much for your kind words of welcome.

Yeah, but in my case it's very unlikely since I'm already fifty. ( )

Welcome, Zobraks! It's nice to see more young'uns here.

Thanks, Lady K! I'm glad there are familiar people here, specially those young in heart.

Tut! Tut! Enough of this silly talk and on with the screenshot contest! The scores are mounting up .............

Oh Yes! .................. and zobraks!

Thanks, Jacques!

Jacques?? Who's Jacques???? You must be mistaken.

I'm 56, will be 57 in August. Is Gelert much older than us? I wonder since he has this huge collection of great, good games!

If I'd have to guess his age by the number of adventure games he had played/he owns/he knows, then my guess would be 104 (years) .

Actually, as should seem obvious from my avatar ................. I'm a ghost, so age doesn't really come into it at all.

All I'll say is . . . . Be careful what you wish for!

Because you may actually get it !!

Sorry, my mistake! There's a guy at AGF who uses your nick :

AGF?? What's AGF? Another adventure gaming site? Never heard of it.
Also googled for it but it doesn't show up.

That's Adventure Gamers' Forum K515.

Hi all, I'm Gonchi. Been gaming since the early 90's. Started out with an Atari 2600 jr., and stuck solely with PC gaming after the SNES/Genesis generation.

One of my first Adventure Games was The Dark Half, but I didn't really get into the genre until the re-edition of Sierra titles under the SierraOriginals and Kixx XL labels. As such, I'm a pretty big Sierra fanboy, my favorites being the Quest for Glory and Gabriel Knight series, but I've enjoyed them all.

Sierra games aside, other favorites of mine are Discworld Noir, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Serrated Scalpel and Grim Fandango.

Besides Adventure Games I'm also a pretty big fan of RPGs, favorites being the Fallouts (except Bethesda's), Arcanum and Baldur's Gate.

I think I'm more of a pack-rat than a collector. I tend to prefer older games to newer ones, and it has nothing to do with rose tinted glasses or nostalgia. I hate Myst and it's army of clones. I'm Pro-Abandonware and Anti-DRM in all its forms.

If that's the case, you might try d/l Buzz Aldrin Race Into Space (DOSbox) and Star Wars Chess from, umm-m, I forgot where I d/l mine, so I think you'll have to google it. And also you can d/l Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text-adventure, if you want.
