I asked him what his feelings were on the Pooh characters, whether it was just a job or a project that he felt a connection to:<br /><br />Al: I do love the Pooh characters. I read several of Milne’s books to my kids and did my best to make my game “feel” like it fit that world.<br /><br />Just one more little note!Joe Pranevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997014242774219758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-42563825416591163102016-02-05T11:40:55.094+11:002016-02-05T11:40:55.094+11:00I definitely played those as well.

Clearly I'm getting too old. :/<br /><br />I definitely remember Donald Duck's Playground and Mickey's Space Adventure, though. DDP was kind of boring - you played minigames to earn money, then spent money on playground equipment, which looked neat but wasn't actually fun to play with (you really just watched). MSA was an actual adventure game though, with inventory to collect and items to use to solve puzzles. It was pretty cool! That one would be worth a Missed Classic entry here.Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805219432946673379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-63827785209066411442016-02-04T11:49:27.262+11:002016-02-04T11:49:27.262+11:00Just saw an article on Ron Gilbert's blog from...Just saw an article on Ron Gilbert's blog from last year about Secret of Monkey Island.<br /><br />Interesting.<br /><br />http://grumpygamer.com/monkey25<br />TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815382857422719383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-350236958800269252016-02-04T09:16:48.284+11:002016-02-04T09:16:48.284+11:00Congratulations, you have taught me something new ...Congratulations, you have taught me something new about the complete works of Al Lowe today!Rowan Lipkovitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691096685515251681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-70253040339368376482016-02-04T09:15:54.807+11:002016-02-04T09:15:54.807+11:00I would love to play through Mr. Lowe’s back catal...<i> I would love to play through Mr. Lowe’s back catalog as a series of Missed Classics, but perhaps that will come another day.</i><br /><br />Also, it's worth noting that at least a few of the other Troll-engine games are essentially reskins of this one (rather -- let's be chronological here -- it, along with Dragon's Keep, were reskins of Troll's Tale.) So playthroughs of those games might well be very brief in regards to any kind of "new business".Rowan Lipkovitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08691096685515251681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-51185022780655910732016-02-04T09:01:10.598+11:002016-02-04T09:01:10.598+11:00That is true!

I had completely forgotten about it...THIS GAME!!!!<br /><br />I had completely forgotten about it until I saw the screenshots here.<br /><br />I grew up on a small street on the outskirts of a small town. There were very few other kids to play with, but for a while there was a girl my age that lived in a huge old Victorian farm house - the oldest house in the neighborhood - while her dad renovated it for eventual profitable sale.<br /><br />This girl had a computer and we played this game for hours upon hours when the weather wasn't good for going outside. Her parents were very happy to finally find something that would shut us up and keep us safely in one place.<br /><br />This is surely among the first adventure games I ever played, and I'm really overjoyed to randomly see it pop up here!
