Loom Child
Loom is a fabulous Lucasarts adventure game from 1990, sporting the then-awesome scumm game engine for which their games were famous for. I just played the VGA/voice version, gifted to me almost unwittingly by my friend Josh. It was fun to see it again and play it for the first time with the voices.
Being sick does have its advantages... among them, even more pampering from a loving wife and having some r&r time for an old classic.
Dreams Reborn
A childhood adventure lives again. Today at E3, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition was announced. This game is a classic! And now remade in full... 2D. Hehe, no, the graphics look nice. I was a little disappointed to see the character movement. C'mon... modern technology must be utilized. The backgrounds were nice. I think it'll be fun. Ant, then we can beat the Sword Master over New Years again. :)
Monkey Island Movie?
Yes, I had heard Ron Gilbert, the game designer behind Monkey Island, once compare the Pirates of the Caribbean to the game that he had created many years before, The Secret of Monkey Island. To be sure, there are amazing similarities. Who knows!
Here are some of Ron's comments:
Full Throttle
Full Throttle is an awesome adventure game from LucasArts, from back when LucasArts actually made fun games and adventure games were easily found on store shelves. These days, these classics need a little ScummVM goodness to run, but it's still fun to relive the glory days of VGA raster art. I love the artwork from this game. It's very cinematic in its play are there is plenty of eye candy. Some of these picts will count as game spoilers.
A Three-Headed Monkey
Look behind you...!
I found this on the last page of a review of Monkey Island. It's a narrative walkthrough of the first game, which came out in 1999. I still remember playing it with Anthony, back in the day when Lucasarts Adventure Packs were everywhere. Ah, the good ol days.
