Astro Push-up Experiment
I looks as if the astronaut is being pushed up to space by that errr... rocket/thing/whatever, right?

This is more or less a successor of this topic.

We are planning to update the original FAQ of the AGS Manual to include various common problems encountered when using AGS.

So, if you find something worth mentioning there (such as useful tips and recurring problems) just reply here (usually by including a link to the forum thread mentioning the problems) and we may then update the FAQ.

Polar Games?

Could be the compression for being a video capture. Neither the Amiga port nor the ST port look as bad in reality:

Even the ST version is quite colourful. I think the most noticeable difference between the two is the amount of shading in the HUD.

[Rodland]

And Gilbert got it - it's Rodland!

I'm more familiar with the arcade version and the console ports, but this was definitely Rodland.
Considering the huge HUD I think this is either the Amiga port or the Atari ST port right? (Though with those weird limited colour choice I think it's more possibly the ST port.)

I don't have any idea ATM, so this round is available for grab.

Robland... I meant... Rodland?

Because of the mantis shot, I was going to say Meet the Applegates(which did appear somewhere in this very thread I think), but it seemed a bit off(I don't know, may be the time period it's supposed to be in didn't look right?) so I just passed.

A Peanuts text adventure game, obviously.

I thought the game's subtitle read 'barrels in time' or 'buried in barrels'. 

Being from Hong Kong, I recognised that immediately, but I'll just pass for others to guess.

I'm a bit busy ATM, so whoever interested may take this space.

I remembered there was a console-only (Mega CD I think) sequel to Another Word, so I looked up its name.
Is it Heart of the Alien?

(I know it is probably not this but just post because to show off I know of its existence, which again is shameful, even though I never watched it.)
Continuing with the trend of unwanted Jim Carrey film sequels and the GREEN in it, Son of the Mask?

Actually from the last shot I thought of The Thing, but from the previous shots it's definitely not this film.

I've no idea what to post atm, so you may decide whether you want to post a new one or just allow whoever steals the next round.

I've posted an almost identical screenshot in p.31 (that being photobucket the screenshot may not load anymore, but may still work if you put the image link into a new tab).

But Zipang IS Solomon's Key, just a dolled-up installment to tie up with a movie. It's licensed from Tecmo.

It's been a long time, but as far as I remember, changing action mode in LBA2 was much faster than in the first game. That's one of the improvements on control that I can remember.

LBA2 was great!
While the 3-D backgrounds didn't look as good as those composed of pre-rendered components like its precursor it was way ahead of its time.
It had all the benefits of the fixed dramatic cameras(such as AitD and BioHazard) but still flexible enough without making it real-time 3-D.
It's also a much longer game and contained a larger variety of stuff too, and the controls were a bit improved.
Will find another screenshot soon.

Could be easy.

LBA2?
The gourand shaded ball head on the bottom left seems suspicious.
