There is a tool called FT Play (http://kickstand.mixnmojo.com/files/utils-ftplay.zip) which I used to extract "Chitlins, Whiskey And Skirt". It's DOS-based however and I don't think you will fare any better with it than with SCUMM Revisited...  [Read More]

I think there are actually a lot of games with debug modes built in. After all the developers and play testers have to have a way of skipping certain levels and test out the code. In id games there's always those "cheats" like god mode and...  [Read More]

They can't use the exact same engine. Firstly, it wasn't near as good as should have been (i.e. better than Grim Fandango). Secondly they would have to write new code for the bike scenes and fights (see press release). Lastly you can't expect anybody...  [Read More]

You'd need an oracle or really good contacts to LucasArts to know that right now. The press release indicates that it'll have a lot of action in it. I don't expect too much from it (and hope to be greatly surprised). The free wheeling action-adventu...  [Read More]

I believe that Half-Life 2 is in the making, close to being published even. Much of the rest of this post I don't - I can't - believe. Planet Half-Life (http://www.planethalflife.com/) has a small paragraph ("Geiger-Counter") on HL2, noth...  [Read More]

There's no way that you can get the original voices from your DOTT CD. Although I think the monster.sou (is it?) file is only about 200 or 300 MB in each version it's only available in the respective language version of the game. You've gotta get th...  [Read More]

You mean the bell part? Well if I can remember correctly (and I'm a fan of Elfman music and LOVE the Underground Tunnels Orchestral Remix, so I should remember) it isn't all that much similar except for a short piece. But I'll listen more closely and...  [Read More]

I haven't played the game recently. I guess it has to do with the OS you use. Have you tried running from DOS prompt (maybe this is the only way it will run, I dunno)? If you have Win95/98 you could run in a purer DOS mode by hitting F8 during boot.....  [Read More]
