Re: My playthrough

It's definitely a different kind of game. Almost all the "progress" in the game happens from just entering a scene at the right time, so you can reach the end with only a handful of typed commands. There is also some actual adventure game stuff, but it's tangential to the plot of the game. Personall...

Re: Steam and GOG sales

That link was for a temporary sale back in July. That's why it's no longer working.

(Just to add something for the actual topic, Syberia is currently free on GOG (click the banner at the top of the main page).)

Re: Space Quest - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.

The JPG compression threw me off, since that bar on top doesn't look like one of the EGA colors, and I couldn't place that in any of the VGA games.

It's the Sierra building at the end of SQ3.

Re: Space Quest - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.

The color palette and lack of double-width pixels is enough to uniquely identify the game.

Re: Space Quest - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.

Re: Youtube Play Throughs / Commentary Videos...

When I want to watch a full playthrough (which almost never happens), a single video is best. When I'm looking for a particular scene to refresh my memory, small videos are better. And there, it's better to have each video represent some distinct section (scene/act/chapter/etc.), rather than just be...

Re: Started playthrough

Re: Police Quest - Where Am I From? Screen Capture Game.

I think anyone who's played the original PQ1 at all would be familiar with this. However, given how long my last one took to guess, I don't really want to post another image. The game is there for the players, not the other way around. If no one actually wants to play, the thread can just die peacef...

Re: Started playthrough

In the thread that was linked, I quoted what Josh Mandel had said about the situation (from Wikipedia). I'll reproduce that here: Mandel had explained in a commentary the reason why there were so many more jokes in the Floppy Disk version as compared to the CD-ROM version of the game, "I had co-desi...
