I should probably get around to updating NAGI one of these days. Maybe I should rewrite it all in python. I saw that ScummVM have consumed Sarien (the other big AGI clone), which means ScummVM is becoming even bigger and bloated. I don’t know yet if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but time will tell. I’d prefer to use NAGI because it’s light-weight (and I’m biased), but I have to admit that the ability to play these old games on my E70 is somewhat appealing! I just threw out my Monkey Island #2 floppies last time I was home, about 2 weeks ago. Space Quest 4 was the pinnacle of the SQ series. My favorite quote of all time was when you walk in to a bar, and their are two characters from the original SQ1 and SQ2 and they say to you.. "Oh.. it’s Mr fancy 256 colour man!" On the latest generation of game consoles, game play is becoming ever more important. The wii with it’s typical Nintendo game play, and the resurgence of classic games on the xbox 360 like the remake of prince of Persia. I saw an amazing Prince of Persia (original) remake in flash the other day. Took me ages to complete the first level when it used to take me no time at all! http://prince-of-persia.freeonlinegames.com/ Yeah I tried it. Several moves don’t act the same way in the Flash version. For example, you can’t do a running jump then grip the far edge in an hang-down move. What about Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards? Anyone remember that? Duh, who wouldn’t. Al Lowe is still bumming around the Internet with the same old jokes too (http://www.allowe.com/)... Now I have that bloody theme tune stuck in my head. |
