Why not play the original when it's an exact copy?

I don't have the original. but I have this version now, and it runs fine, looks and sounds just like these kind of games did back in the day, plays like it also, so all in all good

The original was 16-color, and all text/parser based. This is 256-color and employs the icon based interface used in later Sierra games.

I assume the original also isn't compatible with modern OS's.

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri


It's a shame they couldn't sell it. I would have probably bought it for old times sake.

But I would much prefer a Space Quest remake to be honest.

It proves you don't need a team of fully paid university graduates to make a decent game. They have done a good job. I have attempted to make my own adventure game (which I hope to get back to), so I know roughly how difficult this is. I am actually quite impressed that they had a strong dedicated team, that to me is the most difficult part of building a game.

Mostly because running old games is increasingly a pain in the ass.

So you've drawn everything yourself? Must be very time-consuming!

Yes, but its quite fun and satisfying if I think I've done a good job.

What scares me is animation. I really don't have the patience for it.

Looks nothing like me
Not my room

But it's based in Singapore, so you may not see a room like this in most other countries. (tiled floor, etc)

Well I am impressed.

A lot of cracks in the ceiling and the floor. Is that just for 'colour'

Hercules: Yeah, all main characters lives must suck in adventure games, it's a rule of thumb.

snoopy: no, it's just the angle I have chosen to do, in fact if you look hard enough, you can see that this room actually has 5 sides to it, but it's really just an effect.

I'm working on something else for now, but I might get back to this game one day, it had quite a good storyline.

You actually start in this bedroom, he's lying naked on the floor in the dark. You wake up and as the player tries to exit the room, he causes the door to break and he ends up stuck, so your first "mission" is to figure out how to get out, I have the entire walkthrough for that mission done, and it's quite a number of steps.

I also implemented the Space Quest method of dying. For example, if you do something stupid like put metal in a power socket, then you will fry yourself into ashes. Or if you exit the window, you will fall to your death. (Singapore's homes are mostly apartment buildings at the very least 9 stories high. Humor is very important in an adventure game.

Something to explore or empty I guess.

You once posted a background there under your old nick, Snoopy. I still check the forums there every now and then.
