Re: BROKEN SWORD

For the Broken Sword fans: One of my colleagues from Adventure-Treff was at the recent Quo Vadis expo in Berlin and did interviews with adventure game related people. Charles Cecil was there too and agreed to do a video interview. Personally, I think that the result is very, very interesting and if...

Re: Anyone played Crime Wave by Access?

Here's the only (small) image I can find - http://www.classic-pc-games.com/thumbs/ ... ave_03.jpg

Perhaps looks more like an 80s porn actor who plays a lot of rugby. (Equivalent of American Football without all the silly helmets and padding. :wink: )

Re: Anyone played Crime Wave by Access?

Interesting - never heard of this one! Quick googling finds http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/535/Crime+Wave.html with screenshots - it's a side-scrolling shooting game apparently. (At first glance looks like building on the gun fight bits in Mean Streets?) As to credits - all I can find is http://w...

Article from 1991 on the making of Martian Memorandum

While searching the net for a walkthrough for MM (yes, I know, I know....) - I stumbled across this - http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue133/110_Martian_Memorandum_.php - it's an article from a 1991 computer magazine on the making of MM. It's interesting how we think of 1994's UAKM as one of...

Spreading the word....

Well I've created a thread on the Digital Spy forums (quite popular entertainment/media site in the UK), which is designed to look like a neutral question rather than an ad(!) - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1029960 It is our duty to spread the word so that the revenue comes in...

Re: Go to bigfinishgames.com Secret Game "Fedora"

Crikey, these lurkers pop up and do a light hearted post, and look at the trouble they cause! In the UK we do dd/mm/yyyy, but I knew what James meant on the site so it was just a little joke - hence the smiley. So I suppose it was both serious and a joke! Our Australian friends do it right too ;-) -...

Re: Go to bigfinishgames.com Secret Game "Fedora"

I'm a long-time lurker and regular reader who tends to agree with what others write, so don't feel the need to contribute. But hey, I'll make an exception this time. Woohoo! Much excitement here. I shall be duly spreading the word come 6 May...... (It's a shame that on the Big Finish homepage it say...

Hi - I'm not an expert on these matters but since no-one else has replied.....! Getting the CD version to work is a bit of a trial, and IMHO only when you've mastered that can the almighty task of getting the DVD version to work be attempted. The DVD Express thing (which takes a lot of fiddling, I f...

Having reread Aaron's message now, did we ever hear anything more about the project that AC and CJ had lined up to pave the way for more Tex? That message was 5 months ago now.... :(

Well, since younger members are recounting their life stories in this thread :wink: ..... Ten years ago I was eleven, and was probably about to find UAKM for the first time. I'd played Mean Streets a couple of years before (from a neighbour), and then saw UAKM in one of the earliest 'Classics' range...

Broken Sword 4 announced following SUCCESSFUL SALES of BS3

Many on here might have played the adventure classics Broken Sword 1 and 2. A new 3D game, Broken Sword 3 was released in 2003.
