The Secret of Shadow Ranch Her Interactive [top] An interactive mystery-adventure game, this puts players in the shoes of teenage super-sleuth Nancy Drew as she investigates a string of mysterious events at a southwestern ranch.
The game is based on the novel, The Secret of Shadow Ranch. The book is the best- selling Nancy Drew title of all time and the first of the original "yellow-spine" series to be turned into an interactive game. Nancy Drew sets out to enjoy a long overdue vacation at Shadow Ranch in Arizona, but upon arrival she quickly finds herself involved in a baffling mystery. The ranch has been maliciously damaged and is being haunted by a phantom horse.
The local townspeople believe the ghostly animal is carrying out the curse of Dirk Valentine, a romantic outlaw who was hanged for his crimes before he could fulfill a promise to his sweetheart. Based on a rumor that a treasure was hidden on the grounds by Valentine, Nancy turns her focus to that critical clue as she embarks on a challenging search for answers through a land full of rattlesnakes, hidden mineshafts and crumbling ghost towns.
You have the use of an in-game cell phone, Internet access, and email. A "Second Chance" feature allows players to take risks without starting over. Optional Phone-a-friend hints are designed to help struggling detectives navigate the game. Two difficulty settings allows players of all skill levels to solve the mystery. Curse Of Blackmoor Manor Her Interactive [top] This interactive mystery-adventure game lets players become teenage super-sleuth Nancy Drew as she travels to an English manor to solve a mystery rooted in the 14th century.
Nancy Drew packs her bags for Blackmoor Manor, the estate of the Penvellyn family, to visit her neighbor's recently married daughter Linda. Shortly after joining her new husband Hugh Penvellyn at his ancestral home, Linda develops a strange illness. She refuses to let anyone see her. Nancy agrees to visit in an effort to discover the truth behind Linda's mysterious malady. The Penvellyns are an old, eclectic family with a long history of fascinating ancestors, Including Randulf the Red, progenitor of the Penvellyn clan 14th c.
More recent additions include: Jane, the youngest member of the current Penvellyn household, is a precocious 'tween girl the youngest character to appear in a Nancy Drew game to date. There's also the new bride, who hides behind a bed curtain and refuses to be seen. In addition, Loulou the parrot makes an appearance. This is the first english setting for a Nancy Drew game and has twenty plus hours of sleuthing in expansive outdoor environments. New puzzles are based on heraldry, astronomy, and alchemy. The game begins on an ordinary night, with you and your roommates trying to decide which DVDs to rent for the evening.
Like Fallacy of Dawn but even more successfully, Necrotic Drift is oozing to the brim with atmosphere. Well-written dialogues and descriptions let you know Jarret, his friends, and his world inside out like few other text adventures could. Most game fans will have a blast playing this game just to spot the numerous references to tabletop RPGs, computer games, and comics.
Most puzzles are basic and simple - you just need to whack the monsters with the right weapon in the first few stages of the game to kill them. These puzzles are made even simpler by the game's extreme linearity: On the other hand, easy puzzles mean you will not get stuck so often, which means the plot will unfold much faster - making the game an even better approximation of survival horror movies in which events happen in the space of few seconds. The last few puzzles in the game are more intricate and complex, but text adventure experts will have no problem overall with the game.
The game makes good use of graphics and sounds. Every location, monster, and NPC is depicted in photorealistic pictures, and some sounds really make you jump out of your seat it's almost as scary as The Lurking Horror. A Case Of The Crabs Pinhead Games [top] Something stinks and it smells like crab, only there's something funny about these crustaceans. You play as Detective Nick Bounty, who despite his ability to solve the most tangled cases, has yet to work for a paying client.
This time it's up to you to discover who knocked off a local seafood salesman and get to the bottom of a diabolical counterfeiting operation. It's fully vocalized by talented actors and written in Flash for maximum compatablity. Aimed at a slightly younger audience, each installment is a short, colorfully drawn game where you must try and help the young Victor vanquish his nightmares. The catch is that you only have a limited number of moves to win each episode, putting just a little pressure on your puzzle solving skills. Navigation is easy, simply click the puffy arrows to visit different locations on each screen.
Items usually look a little brighter than their surroundings, making them easy to spot and nab. Figuring out how to use them and in what situations is where the challenge dwells, and with the constant reminder that Victor's nightmare is closing in, you don't have time to dawdle. Because the games are aimed at kids, they won't pose much of a challenge to seasoned point-and-click adventurers. There's even an in-game hint system that all but spells out exactly what you should do.
But the top-notch visuals, great voice acting, genuinely spooky atmosphere, and lack of pixel hunting make them entertaining for just about anyone. Yes, the game is THAT good. For starters, the game puts you in a role that most of us are familiar with, although strangely enough has not been used in many games: The first thing you will notice about the game is how good the graphics are. Similar to Day of the Tentacle, excellent hand-drawn VGA graphics that are chock full of detail in every scene fully brings Jackson's world to life.
And they are not just pretty scenery, either: There are also many sound effects to add to the atmosphere. The puzzles are quite fun to solve, and a few are even quite memorable for their ingenuity. In the best LucasArts decision, the most challenging puzzles in the game require you to pay close attention to the scene, observe how NPCs behave, and use the right object s at the right time. There is some pixel-hunting especially clicking on the right TV cable , but fortunately the crosshairs-shaped cursor makes it possible to click on the exact pixel you want.
To round things off, both the plot and pacing are also very well-designed: Your goal in the first portion of the game is to get out of the house, so you are limited to using objects in various rooms. After your successful escape, the game 'opens up' considerably with many more areas to explore, and even a bit of non-linearity i. It's very funny, very professional-looking, and even has challenging puzzles to boot. The Savannah Tivola [top] Balthasar Pumpernickel is a big aficionado of things in Africa, or at least he believes that. Because when he shows Oscar his slideshow and claims that crocodiles live on trees and elephants are dangerous carnivores, Oscar is startled.
Somehow it all seems a bit strange, and so he decides to travel to the savannah himself and to meet the animals once in person. It quickly turns out that after so many Oscar adventures, Balthasar still has no idea about the wildlife. Oscar visits lions and baboons, elephants, crocodiles and many other animals and learns a lot about the ways of life of the animals. Pavel Pavian, for example, tells of his big family with innumerable aunts and cousins. When Oscar asks him about the nest and the eggs, the baboons according to Balthasar's descriptions, Pavel must laugh.
Baboons are mammals and do not lay eggs. And Elli, the elephant cow, explains to Oscar why elephants wash themselves with mud and that they can use their big ears as fans on hot days. To get to the various games, Oscar must know if the three claims the animals make are right or wrong. If he has previously looked around the animals and talked to them, it is no problem to know the correct answer and unlock the game. For example, he plays with the elephants or plays with the monkey "louse the baboon" and frees the monkey from all lice.
You play Natalia, a 27 year-old woman who comes home one day to find that her boyfriend Alkis has gone missing. After discovering a strange message, you will shortly find out there are other worlds than ours, and traversing those 'parallel universes' is imperative to finding Alkis again.
At first glance, the game looks very amateurish - largely thanks to garish graphics that don't mesh together very well. It is probably one of the best, if not the best, adventures of — and that includes both Independent and commercial - and its minor flaws do not take away anything from the overall impact.
It is an adventure that has all it takes to become a classic. No, you will not find breathtaking graphics, lip-synced speech or quadraphonic music performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra. What you will find is a fantastic story that will unfold before you minute by minute with enough twists and turns to keep your interest peaked at all time; characters that seem so real that you will become attached to them and will not forget them for a long, long time if ever! And all that garnished with a great deal of humor, that will have you rolling on the floor laughing — that is, if you can appreciate good humor.
In other words, a model adventure game, created by an adventurer for adventurers. Here is the official plot: You are Rather Dashing, a peasant wearing short pants who returns from a vacation to find his thatched cottage You set out on a quest to get revenge on Trogdor once and for all. So will he make it, staying alive, and protecting this peasant kingdom from burnination? It not only looks like an early King's Quest title, but it also plays like one although to its credit, the puzzles are far better Although the game is rather short, it does feature more than a handful of clever puzzles including some that are quite cruel but funny in a black-humor way , and a pretty good parser that was coded from the ground up in Macromedia's Flash.
You can also save your game in progress browser cookies must be enabled , see where you are on the in-game map once you find it , and read funny descriptions of inventory items. Memorable characters, fun puzzles, and solid coding make Peasant's Quest one of the best freeware adventure games in recent years, its short length - I finished the game in about 45 minutes - notwithstanding.

This time, the two unlikely heroes are being used as pawns in a grand scheme by a mysterious mastermind named Kotovsky and his even more mysterious "behind-the-scenes" boss, who want to change the political face of Russia forever. Will Petka and his mentor be able to thwart the danger and save their homeland once again? Not much has changed in this installment; as all the previous games in the series, Konec Igry "End of the Game" is a traditional point-and-click adventure game, with 2D cartoon-like character graphics and backgrounds.
The gameplay mostly revolves around talking to characters, gathering information, and solving puzzles mostly through manipulation of inventory items. The many clowns, jugglers and acrobats have them both really impressed. So they decide to build their own circus. Findus has a name already: Gustavsson gets wind of it and laughing at their project, he makes fun of them. We will once again meet with the famous Pilot Brothers. The restless detectives and adventurers, the Pilot Brothers, learned from the newspapers that on the remote island of Tasmania there's a rapidly decreasing population of a blue-striped elephant.
Knowing that Tasmania is the only place on earth where there are these rare animals, they decide to go on a long journey and find out the spot. Arriving, the detectives saw everything that happens with the elephants - something is catching the striped blue giants, luring them into a distant dark cave.
Of course, you must save them! And suddenly this turns out not to be the only trouble! Trying to disclose the vermins, the detectives plunge into a whirl of occurrences that let them catch a glimpse of reality turned inside out. Everything around is not the way it seems to be!.. Chief is the master of interrogation and analysis and Colleague is a real man of action, together they are the ones to find the answer and stop the chaos.
It features the unique atmosphere of Berdichev, a strange town beyond time with extraordinary characters and places. There's tens of game screens in which Chief and Colleague can apply their talents and each action or event is commented with a funny remark. The main characters speak in the voices of the famous Russian actors. Besides being the first game in the series to have 3D graphics, there's also a special bonus from QD Engine: Spread on slices of enriched bread that have been spread with butter or margarine. Top with crisply fried Swift's Premium Bacon slices.

It's food like this that makes eating a habit! Turns out that people all over the Net are starting to do just that. Maybe everyone but me already knows about MetaCreations' "Bryce"; I just discovered it while being impressed by the sometimes quite Riven-like renderings in the galleries of Calyxa's Pearl. The Bryce product page is pretty boring you'd think that a page about a program that produces amazing graphics would contain an amazing graphic or two, eh? I'm sure it's hard to create the really fancy images that make it into the Judged Galleries.
On the other hand, it's really trivial to produce less awe-inspring but still way-cool ones. I downloaded the 19MB demo it's missing a few features, and puts an obvious MetaCreations watermark all over images that it generates , and made your typical "enigmatic Mystian island" in about five minutes and another five minutes or so final rendering time.
Click on the thumbnail to the left there for the 50K jpeg. Wikis and validation, and the next chapter of "readers type the darnest things". For early warning, and things that don't quite make it into the main log, see of course gLog and openlog ; both places that I stash stuff that I might get back to later. You can stash stuff in them too, if you want!

We're trying to get the little boy to sleep reliably in his own bed rather than in a sleeping bag on the floor of our bedroom. Going pretty well so far, touch wood. I have very fond memories of hours spent sitting on the couch in the little daughter's room, with a laptop or a book and book-light , waiting for her to go to sleep.
Sometimes I'd fall asleep myself, and M would eventually tiptoe in and wake me up. Prediction is very hard, especially when it's about the future Yogi Berra. For the little girl's something interesting the other night, I told her about how amazing her real-time stereo-music 3D version of Frogger would have seemed to someone twenty years ago, and asked her to think about things that might happen twenty years from now that'd be equally amazing to her. She suggested a truly immersive interface "a room that you could go into and be in the program" is roughly what she said.
A pretty good first cut, I think! Not necessarily in twenty years, but sometime surprisingly soon. My two favorites are: It will become impossible, or at least very very rare, to lose anything. Because the things tell us where they are, or because the dust tells us where things are, or because there aren't "things" anymore; who knows?

Closer in, it will be possible for something the size of a pen to do video output over an area that has at least the same subjective size as a modern laptop display via projection onto your eyeglasses, directly onto the retina, magic holograms, who knows? I've been surprised lately at having to explain the expression "getting a toaster oven" to people - as in, "No one's gotten a toaster oven off me, yet. Or am I really that special? Mebbe every single reader I quote is the same person! I doubt it, though. You're all too idiosyncratic for that. Har har har har har har har har har. Web challenge of the day: One more comic link: Sequential Tart cited on randomwalks.
Like the links yesterday, this is more an "industry news" sort of site than a "theory of sequential art" site; anyone who knows of any of the latter, please send it in! Having put very briefly! I used to write poetry reasonably often, but my grown-up self seems to have mostly stopped. We should teach poetry, and drawing, roughly as thoroughly as we teach mathematics. Very few things, actually; c'mon, don't be shy! One " that would be telling ". One " I kiss nothing ", which is kind of transcendant, eh? In kissing nothing, I kiss the ten thousand things. The grass is snoring.
And finally at least for today: I should more often. The people that I'd like to kiss are all far away right now. I have a mouth full of kisses and nowhere to put them. Eccentric today, aren't we? One reader wrote, in yesterday's "Toasted Cheese? My toaster caught fire after a few seconds and now, after liberal doses of water and unplugging it when that caused even worse problems , the toaster is full of some new material that is at least as hard as epoxy and smells like old socks. I am suing this web site. I think that's silly, don't you?
