Right now I am eagerly awaiting the March 30 release of the new Ron Gilbert creation, Thimbleweed Park. Made me wonder if there's anyone else here who's still a big fan of old school point & click adventures like Maniac Mansion, Zak MacKracken, Monkey Island and of course the king of all adventures, Broken Sword. And not the silly iphone version btw, I'm talking adventures that don't give you hints or highlight things to click on at every turn. Thimbleweed Park looks great so far, very much looking forward to this. |

Those were great. I'm currently on Thimbleweed Park which is loaded with humourous references to those old Lucas Art games.
DIscworld 1 and 2 were fantastic too. Rinceweed voice acted by Eric Idle stole the show there. Very underrated games.

First Discworld game is roughly based on Guards! Guards! and pretty much unsolvable with all the obscure puzzles and all, but as far as I'm concerned the dialogue makes up for it. The second is sort of a mix of Reaper Man and Moving Pictures and much more gamer friendly, and loaded with jokes about the flaws of the first game. Back then it was on Playstation, these days I've installed ScummVM on my mac and get the games from gog.com or emuparadise. Goddamnit, did I say Rinceweed there?  |

I was thinking I'm sure it's wind not weed. Although I've heard too much weed gives you wind. |
