Thanks, everyone! I think I'll ask the folks at DeviantART if they spotted "something" in this drawing and see how many people (if any) are as keen as the fans here. Akril...  [Read More]

Thanks! I made this with Paint Shop Pro 7, by the way. I could never get the hang of Photoshop. So... Nobody's noticed the little bit of heavy symbolism I threw in yet? Nobody? Akril...  [Read More]

Yep, it's my first bit of GF fanart. I started it months ago, then finished it a couple of nights ago. As the caption says, it's most of the remaining main characters spending some time alone after the events of the game, with the focus on Eva, and...  [Read More]

So I am guessing that Rapp Scallion is in the cryp before you let Stan out? Actually, when you are talking with LeChuck at the beginning of Part 5, if you ask him about the history of the members of Captain Marley's crew, when he starts talking abou...  [Read More]

I guess my saved game must have been a lucky accident. I've been trying to determine what variables (talking to the agent, talking to Meche, the agent's position when saving the game, etc.) caused this bug to happen, but I haven't had any luck duplic...  [Read More]

I was snagging some reference screenshots from GF yesterday, and ran across a possible bug that struck me as pretty funny. I restored a savegame in Year 4, inside the casino. Manny was standing beside Meche, facing Charlie (I probably tried throwing...  [Read More]

What really confuses me is that Old Town Radio calls its collection "The Complete Box 13 Radio Series", and also repeatedly claims that you can order "18 CD's with 52 different shows", while I got 17 CDs and only 48 complete episo...  [Read More]

An interesting story about this animation... I posted a link to it on a fairly busy message board that I visit every now and then and created a mini-contest to see who could guess what 1998 adventure game that voice clip came from. I figured, with s...  [Read More]

Thanks, all! The frames were drawn on the computer with the mouse in Paint Shop Pro, with one frame per layer, then made into a GIF and exported into Flash, where I synced her mouth movements with the various sounds. It's not the same cheetah as th...  [Read More]

I must admit, I have a strange fascination with Lupe's voice. After some indiscretion, I decided to use some of her lines to breathe life into one of my own characters... And I don't think she turned out that badly... (http://www.deviantart.com/vie...  [Read More]

Naomi: Ahh, I should've warned everyone of the dangers of that site. That sound byte used to be on one of the major GF sites before the server crash...I found out about it from a couple posts on adventuregamers.com. Definitely not done in good taste,...  [Read More]

Even though GF may not be very well-known outside the adventure genre, it still gets its deserved recognition from time to time... ...and sometimes in the oddest places. I found these interesting little "game crossover" pictures on Somethi...  [Read More]

Ahhh, the inability to talk to Dom in Year 3 and thus make the plot just a bit less nebulous...so unfair. It comes with several other GF lines I have never heard in the game. Maybe they were all deleted from the final version? I think some of them...  [Read More]

I'm the sort of person who likes to explore the source code of recently completed games and see what little secrets can be discovered therein... One of my more memorable discoveries was finding out that in Year 1, if you take Glottis for a spin on t...  [Read More]

I think I've got it... According to GF's Trivia section (http://www.mobygames.com/game/trivia/gameId,201/) on Mobygames, the tune plays in the scene with the zeppelin in Year 2. I never would have guessed. Akril...  [Read More]
