Well, I can certainly see that you haven't even tried to understand what I was saying, SweetDahlilah. That's fine with me. Have fun here at the forums.

Correct. Hence forth you shall be known as "Diego, guesser of that easy-puzzled adventure".

If you can guess the name of a stage play, you'll guess the game too... or not. Anyway

This is The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes: Serrated Scalpel. Waaay too easy (the pic, not the game).

diego · 01-17-2011, 12:01 PM

Certainly.

Still one of the best Sherlock Holmes game. Here's the review and interesting article on earlier SH games.

I'm surprised you still remember the place

btw regarding rules, i think we only need some exact amount of time after which volunteer can post a pic in case original guesser doesn't show up

Dea ex Machina · 01-17-2011, 02:03 PM

One week? That should be easy to remember, and hopefully allows enough time for busy people who may need a couple of days after guessing correctly to find a screen they want.

From the long forgotten past, we move to even more ancient times:

Gah, I recognize that game! Or maybe I just tell myself that I do so I can pretend that I know more about adventure games than I really do.

Ehr, stupid almost certainly incorrect guess just for the hell of it; Kings Quest?

skeeter_93 · 01-19-2011, 02:04 AM

The Black Cauldron?

...Yes, but the important thing is that the "good and coherent writing", "interesting plot" and "superb atmosphere" were all invented at the time, and were used profusely in this title.

That thingamajingy you mentioned - how do you call it? "Grah-pfix"? Naaaah, who needs it anyway

Nope. I don't think that Sierra was even founded back then.

No...

These two pictures should reveal the genre. If Gabriel Knight existed on c64, it would probably look like this:

Of course. I doubt they even had the electricity in the days your (text-based) adventure was made

Let me explain. People usually make faces like those on the pictures you posted when someone tells a bad joke, so that made me believe there's a lot of bad humo(u)r in the mysterious adventure Name: spadalo.gif

Ah. Thanks for the explanation. Seems I'm a bit slow today - this foggy weather here is obviously influencing me in a bad way. Messing with my brain or something.
