+Stephen Moss Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I know Larry 2 exists as I have a copy and I remember reading a review of Larry 3 so that should also exist. IIRC Larry 3 is the one where you play some sections of the game as Larry and others as Passionate Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagbard Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Hi! Larry 3 does exist. I got one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eidolon Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I think there were some non-commerical ST Adventure games. I recall one called "Escape from the Tesseract" or some such that wasn't professional quality but was a bit fun. It was an all text game with lots of abstract puzzles. --The Eidolon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Then there was the Adventure Game Toolkit, and the adventures for it. There was a MOnty Python and the Holy Grail game made with the toolkit. EDIT: There was also a commercial program called 'STAC' which was a text adventure creator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champions_2002 Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 There is also a Sierra game from back in 1986 called Black Cauldron black_cauldron.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariDude Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I used to remember having an Adventure creation kit. It allowed me to create my own adventures and then save it to a file. I think it required the program in order to be able to read the file. It was fun but it did take a lot of graph paper and planning to make sure the mazes made some kind of sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Martens Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 speaking of PD ... check out the "Grandad" adventure games ... They were very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felicemaggie Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Talking of the 'Grandad' games, if the reports over on www.dhs.nu are correct, there may well be a third Grandad game, although not written by the original authors. I still have a copy (original) of STAC, the ST Adventure Creator, written by the guys who produced the Freescape games. It was a worthy successor to the older Sinclair adventure creator, "The Quill", although written by a different company. There's also a way to get newer Sierra games running on the Atari (Falcon, I think, though it might also be for ST) using a package called 'scummym'. Although I've not personally tried it myself. Cheers, Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 If you like Shadowgate you should also check out Deja Vu I & II and Uninvited which were done by the same people. As for getting new Sierra games to run...SCUMMVM isn't going to be of any use as that's for LucasArts games! Although it does run a few others as well. You are probably thinking of FreeSCI which is an interpreter for Sierra games which used SCI (the really early Sierra games used AGI, Sarien is used for that).
