Abstauber, you probably can find it at Peders awesome MAGS archive

Leon · Mon 23/11/2009 10:30:32

Yep, there it is..

abstauber · Mon 23/11/2009 10:44:11

Great! Thank you guys!

I am actually not sure if I may ask people about old non-AGS games here; thread title does not mention AGS at all

Anyway, I wonder if anyone can give me a clue about what was the game I vaguely remember, its title at least. It is really old one, 80-ies or early 90-ies perhaps. It was a horror adventure. No more than 16 colours. 1st person view (all static pictures ofcourse). There was some mansion to explore; you could move around by clicking on schema beyond the scene view, where available exits were shown as squares.
I remember at least two scenes quite clearly, there was a bedroom with two little girls playing some game, don't know an english word for that, its when children slap their palms in some rythm; if you approach they reveal themselves as vampires (not sure), attack you and kill you with knife or something

Another scene is a silent guardian on a cemetry, a dark figure just standing and watching you, if you speak to him three times it rips out your heart.

A funny game indeed

Any thoughts? Nothing rings a bell?

Can't help with the game though

I have been searching for 'Da New Guys'. Does anyone have it?

Leon · Thu 10/12/2009 08:32:53

I can't upload at the moment but I know it's on the AGS Archive, because I uploaded it there. If I have acces before Peder's response, I'll report again.

@Peder: Can you move it from the bicycle backup to a reachable location?

I uploaded it to my site here - http://apennyfortheferryman.viviti.com/files/others/Da-New-Guys.zip
I'll leave it there for a couple of days, for anyone who wants to download it.

Saurabh · Thu 10/12/2009 10:35:13

@Frodo: Thanks man, downloading it right now. Do you have speech pack too?

Leon · Thu 10/12/2009 11:28:04

Alright, everything's back up again. You can download the game including speech pack from my site.

[update]
Just found the link to the original site..... You can grab it from there as well...

Saurabh · Thu 10/12/2009 11:57:04

@Leon: Thanks!!! downloading it again

Sweet! I didn't realise he was back in action. I hosted his site for a little while until I moved servers and he took time off to do his 3d (which is pretty stunning btw). Glad to see he is up and running again.

As a self confessed fan of DNG (probably my favourite AGS game) this makes me happy.

Anyways here is my effort to keep on topic. For as long as my host stays up (it sometimes gets suspended cos i forget to pay the bill), you can get Da New Guys from here http://indiegamesource.net/modules.php?name=Downloads&min=50&cid=1

Also whilst the site is pretty much dead whilst I revamp it all with a whole new design, the downloads section does contain some older games, some hard to find. Feel free to whore them out to your hearts content

Quest For Glory 4 1/2 please

Leon · Sat 02/01/2010 19:28:28

You can still find that one at The Underdogs.

abstauber · Sat 16/01/2010 21:07:56

Hey,
I'm also looking for a non-AGS game. It has to be from the 80s or early 90s and I'm not sure if it even was an adventure game.
Here's what I remember:
- It had quite neat graphics
- it started with a fortune teller machine (or at least I think so)
- it's possible to travel in time (!)
- you start in the victorian times (or was it a save game that brought me there) at a train station
- i think you could somehow use the train, it brought you to the future and turned into a subway
- In the future it turned into a cheesy, unfair platformer, once you leave the subway station
- it was the game where I first heard of the word "token"

I think you needed a token for the train and/or for the fortune teller.

Does that ring a bell?
I can't get that game out of my head... even after decades

@Crimson Wizard
I'm pretty sure you're talking about "Last Half of Darkness"
http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/last-half-of-darkness

I liked that one too although I could never finish it.

Crimson Wizard · Sat 16/01/2010 21:25:53

Yay, abstauber, you really found it! It is the game! Thank you

Leon · Sat 16/01/2010 23:41:36

@abstauber:

Zork - Grand Inquisitor?

The fortune telling machine = the Totemizer machine?

Igor Hardy · Sun 17/01/2010 00:12:18

@abstauber

My only guess is The Labyrinth of Time, but I don't remember there being any platforming sections in it.

abstauber · Sun 17/01/2010 11:53:47

Hmm...
I think, the game I'm talking(hallucinating?) about was 3rd person. I'm also quite sure that it was disc based... but I'll take a look at it. Thanks!

Just tried the first bits: no, it's not Labyrinth of time.. :'(
