LOL! I gave your pic a quick glance and yeah, she looked a little like Karen in prison, so I assumed So There was right and it was his turn. But of course it's that pretty woman from GAG's intro. You never see her again, by the way.

Here's a new pic. Extra super double easy with fries.

Hehe i played it recently! It's The Adventures of Down Under Dan

I first met it some years ago reading about it on Home of the Underdogs.

It's a funny game, although it could be easily called The Adventures of Dying and Dead-ends

That's right, diego. Please give the fries to the guy behind you.

I bought it when one of those much talked-about deserted warehouses full of rare adventures was discovered. Every collector grabbed a copy, and there were a lot of collectors in those days.

I don't think I made it as far as the mine in the pic. Kept falling off a cliff, not my fault of course, my little guy walked way too fast. I liked the Australian humor and I was sorry I had to stop playing it.

Great work to both of you (although Edy gets to ask next) since it's very obscurish game. I'm not even sure if it got English release, and it's possibly the adventure game with the most name versions for the main protagonists - Mort & Phil, Fred & Jeff, Clever & Smart

I've even found out that in Serbo-Croatian version of the original Spanish comic they were called Zriki Svargla (Head Cheese) and Sule Globus (Globe)

Mortadelo y Filemón are very famous in Spain, there are even two movies besides the 5 Alcachofa adventures
-El Sulfato Atómico
-La Máquina Meteoroloca
-La sexta secta (divided in El Escarabajo de Cleopatra + Operación Moscú)
-La banda de Corvino (divided in Balones y Patadones + Mamelucos a la Romana)
-Una aventura de cine (previously published as Dos Vaqueros Chapuceros + Terror, Espanto y Pavor)
I think the first 4 are only available in Spanish

This is a bit difficult but you're all such experts

Geograficus!

These [insert school subject here] icus titles seem like a lot of fun although i haven't played them, and i think Geograficus didn't get an English release.

Of course, Diego. Unfortunately only Bioscopia, Chemicus and Physicus were translated to English.

"Awful"....whaaat? Lighthouse was a fantastic Sierra game. Thanks for reminding me as it brings back fond memories of many, many hours of enjoyment and rewards. I think its time for a replay.

Have I managed to stump everyone? I'm so proud of myself — especially since the game is not obscure at all!

HINT: The game is much more recent than you may think.

I'll post another screenshot later on if necessary.
