@OutofPrintArchive The first time Guybrush Threepwood ever spoke. My second favorite Monkey Island game. I will say my favorite is Monkey Island 2 : Lechuck's Revenge. Check out the first part of my playthrough of Curse of Monkey Island here :

an ultra-obscure adventure game in which I escape from a German prison camp

and reflect on user-hostile game design (in the context of a truly amazing letter to an editor complaining about a bad review)

part 3 of my series on The Phantom's Revenge

including esoteric references to multiple ports of Adventure

and game-theoretical rambling about "puzzles" which serve more as "keys" than things requiring a thought process

Wherein I embark on a new quest, The Phantom's Revenge.

Dian Girard is one of the few multi-title women working in adventure games at the time (1982). This is her second game.

I include some game history lore dating back to the ultra-obscure Sphere computer (1975-1977).

Here's my finale post on Avventura nel Castello, including ruminations on how context affects the reception of historical games, and a close encounter with the Loch Ness Monster.

My journey on the first Italian adventure game continues

with some intuitive and not-so-intuitive leaps of logic

and a very, very, large cat

All Canadian adventure game fans should take pride in the fact that an official, surreal TV adaptation of Maniac Mansion was shot and produced right here in .

It's weird. I love it.

Twilight Oracle is releasing tomorrow, January 30th, at 6 pm GMT. 🤩🎉

Wishlist on Steam 👇
https://bit.ly/twilight-oracle

A point and click adventure game interface with an inventory bar at the bottom. The blue-t-shirt clad protagonist is on a beach in front of a cave entrance. A woman with long red hair, lightly tanned skin, and a short shirt is sitting on a rock nearby. There is a cauldron on the beach.
The protagonist is on the beach, speaking to Marcus, a shorter-haired blonde person in a pink t-shirt. A storm cloud and a daylight moon are visible in the sky. Marcus says: "Me? I'm going to stay here and enjoy the sun, drinking imaginary sangria."
The protagonist stands in a cave interior, set against a cosmic void that shines with stars among nebulous clouds. A red trunk rests on the cave floor, and a vast red rose grows up one side, seemingly crawling from the void into the cave. A huge skull hangs in the void.

Twilight Oracle title screen. The setting is a beachy shoreline. In the foreground, a blond, pale skinned person in a blue t-shirt, drenched in water, looks astonished at a large gem. A strange red submersible emerges from the water behind them. At the horizon, a vast blue face surrounded by long, darker blue hair is visible. There is a large red flower in the foreground.

    The hilarious Gobliins 2 intro 😂 (Amiga version)

    The official announcement of Gobliins 6 made me want to play it again!

    But I've got another game to finish first.
