I'm pretty sure the PC game can go faster.<br /><br />Good job finishing, and I'm glad my hints helped you out.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-46564992384198512402012-04-06T00:17:37.533+10:002012-04-06T00:17:37.533+10:00Congratulations Trickster!

I admit I never made it quite this far, although my brother had an NES saved game where he was stuck at the Sphinx (come on, we were like 10!) and it always sort of terrified me.<br /><br />The <a href="http://www.giantbomb.com/shadowgate/61-5516/nes-screenshots/52-56521/" rel="nofollow">color scheme for the NES version</a> certainly made many puzzles much easier, but point-and-click without a mouse is sort of silly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010740125071866268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-26388526872569302942012-04-05T23:59:14.824+10:002012-04-05T23:59:14.824+10:00Nope, I'm pretty sure that's just a coinci...Nope, I'm pretty sure that's just a coincidence :)<br />I am your next-country neighbour, though.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165212523036025604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-27344890059032632912012-04-05T22:58:03.515+10:002012-04-05T22:58:03.515+10:00Thanks Jan!

So I put up an early draft of the abstract of my thesis; I didn't think it would take you quite this long to read it.

If you're interested in some more information here's an interesting article series about the ICOM games (including the upcoming Deja Vu 2 which you can just skip over):<br /><a href="http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/icom/icom.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/icom/icom.htm</a><br /><br />By the way, the people behind that website have also created a very expansive (over 700 pages!) book about pretty much all important adventure games (including interviews):<br /><a href="http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/book.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/book.html</a><br />You could use it as a comparison reference just like the CRPG Addict does with Dungeons & Desktops and the other book I forgot the title of.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165212523036025604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-63794300334751333912012-04-05T16:56:18.708+10:002012-04-05T16:56:18.708+10:00I've decided to give Zenic 20 points for his g...I've decided to give Zenic 20 points for his great hints for this game. Not only were they in most cases invaluable, they were also true hints and not outright spoilers.<br /><br />I'm also giving Bobbyloathesyou 10 points for his hints. They may not have been the ones that got me through the game, but that was no fault of his own.<br /><br />Both of them used ROT13 too, which is much appreciated.<br /><br />I was fully prepared to give Canageek 10 points too, but even after I deciphered his hint using ROT13, it still meant absolutely nothing to me. ;)The Tricksterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01419316208187255801noreply@blogger.com
