Not a Trek game, even though I had also thought so when I first saw the screen...

Google FTL ---> wiki FTL --> FTL games -> SunDog ...

I found it on Google with the FTL tip.

Hey and welcome

The introduce your self thread is actually here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=28879.0 But since you posted a pic, this one is probably just fine.

If you wish to do some BG and sprite art for my game Jake and the Summer Camp just PM me. As that's a game I wish to only concentrate in the scripting and learning AGS. It'll be a free game, so don't expect money for doing it though.

Could it be a 007 game? Or something spy theme game?
Seem to get a memory trigged by the last pic, though the first still says me nothing.

Guess I didn't pay that much attention to the briefings then.

Jagged Alliance? Really? Looks nothing about what I remember it... maybe I fell into a deep hole and forgot how games looked like?

The back reminds me of Dune... though I don't remember if the graphics were this good...

have you tried another browser? If it works there then fiddle around with the settings of your favourite browser. If it doesn't work with another browser your internet it broken

Haven't tried it from another browser in this PC, but they work fine from Chrome in my tablet...
I think it may have to do with blocking images from sites on Firefox options, but I just can't find the option to see what sites are blocked for pictures... I used to be able to block them with the right button of the mouse and choose to block them, but that option has disappeared from newer versions.
This and the recent "discovery" that there's no longer an option in Firefox to "ask me every time" when sites want to sets cookies, is starting to annoy me, and I may soon look for another browser that lets me have control of how I want my internet surfing to be.

Edit: Okay I just managed to solve this problem. I opened a imgur pic on the browser, choose the "view image info" option on the right mouse button, and the I could see that "block images from this site" box was checked and I could unchecked it.  (love it when I manage to solve a puzzle...)

sometimes imgur has serverproblems. Just wait a few hours or a day and it should work out.

It has never worked since I joined this forum 1st March this year.
I only noticed it cause you guys post a lot of pics on imgur...

Currently I use the "quote" option, then copy/paste the link(s) on my browser so I can see the picture(s)... but it's still annoying to do it that way.

I've got a little "weird" problem, that I can't seem to locate the solution.

All images that are posted from i.imgur.com do not show up on my browser... I've tried to check if they were blocked in any of my filters, but I can't seem to find anything that indicates them as being blocked.
Maybe someone has had the same problem and knows the solution?

I'm using Firefox 28.0 with the following add-ons: Bitdefender, Flashblock, NoScript Self-Destructin Cookies and Stop AutoPlay.

You got the first one. Though for the second one you gave a type of pants rather than shoe.

Heh... guess I'm not really up on my American slang expressions.  If that's what they are.

Are there shoes called Loafers?

Think you had "Flip Flops" (Sandals) in mind CaptainD? At least that was the first think that come to my mind when I read your answer...

Uhm... is it Shogun: Total War?

janosbiro got it.

Hints:
1982
ZX Spectrum 48K
Based on an arcade coin-op game: Scramble

Nope... starts with a K...

Ah! That explains why...

Spoiler

...the leopard looks like from South America, and the soldiers look like from Africa... (hope that IS why).

If no one objects, then I'll post the next game picture (but I'll hide it, in case anyone does )...
I spent countless hours playing this one with my brother.

No Gribbler's right, I used image search... somehow it's a very useful tool and I like it. :p
To my defense, I did not find any of GarageGothic's pics on the search though, another showed up that I thought "that looks like it would fit"... But not my fault the artist did a lousy job on the second pic, since it got me curious as it had nothing to do with the first one (in my eyes anyway)...

Oh yeah, and I did say I cheated, right? And I took the time to hide it even... :p

I thought I had played a lot of games in my youth... and yet, you guys post one after another that I never heard of before...

Okay, I had no idea what game this is, and as it seems others don't know either... I cheated, and googled to the solution...

Spoiler

A .... edited, no solution here anymore :p

Thanks CaptainD.

Yes, whatever I'll do will be freeware and all those legal copyrights disclaimers and such will be clearly stated. There's plenty of fanfic, fanart, and a game or two (some in production), and I don't remember Universal complaining about them ever... Was more like wondering if any on this board had ever had a problem about this before, but am guessing no. Besides I doubt my game will be so good and interesting that would rival with anything they might want to do (but they haven't cared for it in 36 years, so can't see why they would care now?)... they have the new BSG, which would probably give them more revenue than the old one...

Right now am trying to decide what direction to go, to get my BGs done. Importing a picture was okay as a test (and good to see where problems can appear), but now I feel the need to actually do a BG or 2, and maybe a sprite or two. So yesterday I spent most of the evening reading and lurking the forum and doing a few screen grabs to get all the details of one entire room, and now I need to decide how to turn that room into a BG... should I just draw it on paper and then scan it and paint it, should I do a CAD version and render it, draw it directly on a paint program...? Decisions, Decisions... Think I'll try and draw it on paper for now and see if I can still draw (been almost 10 years since I've drawn anything useful)...

Hi all!

I'm a long time lover of adventure games, and started playing them with the original Larry and Police Quest (the ones where we actually had to write what to do). These type of games have been my favorite since and I'm always looking for new ones to play. I seem to have noticed the lack of actual adventure games in the last 10 years or so, and get irritated when game reviewers and such call a game for Adventure when it's actually an Action/Adventure game.
I recently started playing adventure games again... when I got a PSP with DISCWORLD and DW Noir, recently finished DW but Noir seems to keep freezing, so will probably drop it. This brought be to internet search to seem if I could find some interesting adventure games to play on my new Tablet (got it for x-mas). I found Yesterday which I started today (but it's already getting on my nerves a bit) and better yet, I found ScummVM and started playing Flight of the Amazon Queen on the tablet. And a few days ago I stumbled into AGS!

I immediately downloaded AGS it... then I dived it and started "playing" with it... first decision: what template to use?? I normally would start with a blank, but decided to leave the default, just until I get the hang of it, and done the tutorial... I try to figure out what the other templates were for but failed. I immediately changed the resolution of the game and imported a picture, started "playing" with walk areas, hide behind and hot spots... and while trying to figure out a litte more I ended up on the wiki page and the WYGIB article grabbed my attention (and yes, lots "food for for thought there").
I join the forum yesterday after being around reading some posts and articles, have yet to try and download&play any game, but have plans to (and by the looks there's lots to choose from.

After all this, I'll add that I'm a long time fan of the original Battlestar Galactica show, and always thought it was cool to do a game based on that universe... in 98 I stumbled into AGT and started a game with it, but plain text game wasn't really what I wanted, I wanted a Sierra/LucasArts style game with a characters to move around and interact so my game kind of died with a few locations and stuff to do. I still have the files, weirdly enough and the game can actually play in DosBox, but I will not pursue it. I will now concentrate on finish the tutorial, doing a room or two and character or two and try to make a little playable game. And if I can do it (and find the time to do it) then I may start making more rooms and more complex game in this universe.

Hope some day to have something to show, but don't expect it (unless someone else is interested in this universe and wants to give a helping hand). I just don't currently have that much free time to do much of anything...

BTW, if there anything I should be aware when creating a fan based game on copyrighted property? I Can see that some have created ST and Simpsons fan games, so can I assume it's "safe" if I create my own graphics and story line?
