        Well, I was on vacation for the last two weeks of the year and just put in my two weeks yesterday. Already have a new gig lined up, less twiddling my thumbs and more doing stuff and solving problems. So I've missed the past couple of weeks of banter but this morning I got something in my email that I felt was important to share... Grim Fandango has been remastered and is being released via GOG late this month. Available for preorder at just $15. One of the best point and click adventure games made with plenty of humour. It is right up there with Maniac Mansion, Zac McKracken, and Monkey Island for quality and enjoyability in my opinion. While they didn't add anything new, they did make the graphics more attractive and redid the score with an actual orchestra. $15 for some high quality nostalgia is worth it to me. If you haven't played it, well I feel like you owe it to yourself if you grew up during the age of King's/Space/Hero's Quest and other point and click adventures. This ends the morning's advert. Please return to your regularly scheduled mindbending.

        I'm still waiting for the (impossible) Quest for Glory VI, or at least a remaster of QfG V. I loved that game and I still do, occasionally fighting against Win7 to make it run again. And I put DosBox at good use with the King's Quest series, Wolfenstein 3D and Prince of Persia II, games that influenced my childhood...

                      That was one of the "oh damn, I haven't got a riposte for that yet" responses that meant Guybrush lost!

                          After reading this thread i remembered how i want a version of full throttle that runs without dosbox and actually saves. or just one that saves and runs on my widescreen monitor. But i don't want the graphics touched. They are fine as is.

                                    The first one took the mickey out of the Kings Quest games, which had a horrible bit walking down a hill path, where a single tiny misstep killed you. So it was Save. Step. Save. Step. Die. Load. Step. Die. Load. Step. Die. Load. Step. Die. Load. Step. Save. Load. Step. Die. Scream. Load. ... [edit] Auto correct... :sigh:[/edit]

                                      Indeed. But I just read, by pure coincidence, that they're going to do a remake of that one too :)

                                      I'm sorry to say that it looks like a case of them as can, create; them as can't, remake.
