Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! Hi!The games with sound were Return To Pirate's Island II and The Inheritance. Unfortunately, neither of them is on sale right now.Escape The Gloomer also has beautiful sound and music.Cheers Perry URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/450582/#p450582 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! I just downloaded a package containing all his classics from the if archive. Wow, I remembered the short descriptions, but short is not even the right word here. This briefness can lead to funny outputs like:vvisible: window>go windowI'm on a ledge.I fell.This game has ended.Still, it's fun to try stuff and then consult a walkthrough after a while, because as those old games go, making one false move and you've locked yourself out of victory.

Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us!
Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! @Targor, cool, I'm a huge fan of Otherland myself as well. I confess having tried some early scott adams back when I was on my interactive fiction kick, my opinion was rather like Targor's, indeed as I've said before, I largely abandoned parser based If after getting stuck with too many "I don't know how to put" parser errors, or games whose solutions were so outlandish they just became annoying. Still I was aware that Scott adams was still developing and would not be against trying one of his more modern games in hopes it doesn't run into the usual problems of open parser if, and certainly his stuff would need db pages as well.

Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! Me and Scott email each other from time to time. He is a nice guy.His games are good as well. Although they are text adventure they have great sounds and music.

Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! Thanks very much for the info. I think I have to try his games again. Yes, my nickname came from Otherland, one of my favourite book series.

Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! Hi Targor,nice nickname, sort of otherlandish.I know exactly what you're talking about. It's the minimalism born out of severe memory constraints that became the hallmark of Scott's classic adventures.His more contemporary titles, namely Return To Pirate's Island II and The Inheritance, do not suffer from these constraints, and the parser does rank up there with Infocom's although it takes a completely different approach, being based on liberal pattern matching rather than strict formal grammar rules. You just can't compare them directly, except maybe to mention that Scott's is more error-tolerant and slightly less predictable. I happen to like both approaches for different reasons.The upcoming Adventureland XL will make good use of the more error-tolerant, conversational parser.In case you haven't sampled Escape The Gloomer yet, here's the official teaser:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaYRHkXwxkIAll the best,Eternal Gamer URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/450299/#p450299 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector

Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! Oh cool. This sounds fantastic. I must say I am not a huge Scott Adams fan, because if we take out the enormous nostalgia factor, for which I'm to young, there is really not very much to like about the games, especially if you see infocom. Sadly when infocom made their games, Scott Adams never tried to go with time and his later games are still likeYou are in the living room. You see a sword and a chair. >take swordok>examine swordnothing special>take chairyou diedBut if Adventureland is made completely fresh and new, I'm excited to try it.

Re: Adventureland XL: A living legend needs us! Hi Kenshira,I'm curious: would that be Frotz with some ports of his games, or is there something more Scott Adams specific out there which I don't know about?Off topic, I think you've done an amazing job helping Keeweed with his Path Of Adventure!Power to you,EG URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/450241/#p450241 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
