]]> 19 Jul 2007 02:55:15 RomZom One blistering night, when all seemed quiet;
A meteor came crashing and caused a big riot!
To edge closer or not? A question unanswered
as we stumbled through the forest, this way that, we
meandered.

Oh look! The circus is here! The children exclaimed!
And HULABOO-BUBBLE! of the juggling clown fame!

We entered the tent, with hopes and promises
of wonderous activities and sugar pop molasses.

13 green cotton candies, not 4 or 5.
Hung high from the ceiling, swaying here, swaying by.
But what's this? It drips! Red, sticky, warm blood.
A low humming voice whispers, and then a THUD!

]]> 22 Apr 2007 07:55:46 Phantasmagoria Made during the height of the "interactive movie" boom in the computer game industry, Phantasmagoria is notable for being one of the first adventure games to use a human being as an on-screen avatar. Actress Victoria Morsell spent months in front of a bluescreen filming the hundreds of actions players could direct her character to perform. The game was released on seven CDs to accommodate the massive amount of video generated by this process. Today it still stands as a record of sorts for the largest number of media cuts used in a game, though several other games including an adventure game based on The X-Files television series have matched it in the sheer number of CDs used. However, if it were to use modern day video compression codecs while keeping the same resolution, the game could probably have shipped on as little as one or two discs. On the other hand, however, the seven discs were used to highlight the seven days, during which the story takes place - the game could easily fit about five discs, even without the advanced video compression. Also, it is worth mentioning that large portions of data were repeated on each CD, to avoid disk swapping when playing the game.

The game script was about 400 pages long, four times the size of a regular movie script, and an additional 100 pages of storyboards set the style for the over 800 scenes in the game. The game required four months of filming alone and over 200 persons were involved in the production, not counting the Gregorian choir of 135 persons that was used for parts of the music in the game.

]]> 05 Feb 2007 09:47:52 Titanic: Adventure out of Time Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is a video game for the personal computer. It was developed by Cyberflix and was published in Europe and the United States by Europress and GTE Entertainment respectively, released on October 31, 1996. The game is a point and click adventure game which sees the player traveling around a virtual representation of the RMS Titanic, the doomed ocean liner which struck an iceberg on April 14, 1912 and sank with great loss of life.

Titanic: Adventure Out of Time comes in three versions: a PC, Macintosh, or hybrid version that works on both the PC and Mac.

Characters in Titanic: Adventure Out of Time were rendered by way of photographs of actors given limited animation in sync with dialogue. The producers of this game used this same style of rendering for a previous adventure entitled Dust: A Tale of the Wired West.

You are Frank Carlson, a redundant British secret agent living in a tiny London flat, surrounded by the painful memories of his failed mission onboard the Titanic. An exploded bomb suddenly propells him back in time. He has been placed upon the maiden voyage of the Titanic for enemy reconossence and to intercept a number of artifacts that have far more importance to the history of the modern world than they first appear. He only leaves his cabin once during the voyage, on the fatal night of April 14th 1912, to complete his mission.

]]> 21 Jan 2007 12:27:32 Space Quest Collection Roger Wilco. Ladies man, hero, man about town, Janitor.

If you've ever touched adventure games back in the late 80s you'll know about the brilliant work that Sierra did with the genre. Sadly, those days are long gone. However someone did something right and released the Space Quest Collection.

Contained on the DVD are episodes 1 to 6 of Space Quest, all of which follow our intrepid janitor hero as he gets into one (PUN)messy situation(/PUN) after another.

The games are all designed with the standard Sierra adventure game engine(s): AGI (SQ2), SCI (SQ1 VGA, SQ3, SQ4, SQ5). Space Quest 1, 4, 5 and 6 all use the later icon driven interface whilst 2 and 3 use the classic text parser to direct our gallant mop jockey.

The brilliant use of nerd (i.e. sci-fi, computer, etc...)humour blends perfectly with the game play/puzzles. The outlandish situations, and locales will remind you of less formal science fiction movies/tv shows as will the many pot shots at the established sci-fi franchises such as Star Wars, Star Trek and Aliens.

If you like aliens, if you like adventure games and if you like mops then I highly recommend picking up the Space Quest collection.
