Engines like AGS allow enthusiasts to create their own, often surprisingly good, adventure game of any type. Check it out!<BR/><BR/>Celso, I am always on the lookout for interesting new indie or uber-niche stuff, but so far I haven't got enough to warrant a whole post yet.

That (and Zack and Wiki) could be the catalyst for bringing back adventure games from the dead. If that happens, I might be able to forgive Nintendo for all the shit it's allowing to be put out for the Wii.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32650776.post-9581992603320506972008-02-11T22:56:00.000+09:002008-02-11T22:56:00.000+09:00Don't forget Ninty did an online service in the la...Don't forget Ninty did an online service in the late 80s or early 90s, so they're the originals for console online and MS are the copycats.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32650776.post-37017739076294668302008-02-11T13:07:00.000+09:002008-02-11T13:07:00.000+09:00One can only dream of a magical world where a pers...One can only dream of a magical world where a person can play old Lucasarts adventure games in the comfort of their couch, carelessly waving a wiimote until their hands fall off. Oh well...<BR/><BR/>The Virtual Console has a pretty sturdy collection of titles, I am hoping Nintendo will do the same for the Wiiware. <BR/><BR/>That Wishlist is right in the money ,too.

Now that Jim Ward has left the company, perhaps his replacement will be more proactive bringing these games to the Wii. <BR/><BR/>It's hard to imagine a more suitable platform, and the console already has a userbase accustomed to downloading via the Virtual Console. Or, if they want to be more splashy, release a special box version with all the great games on one disc, throw in some commemorative stuff, and charge a reasonable price. It wouldn't sell like Halo, but it would sell enough to make it well worth their time.<BR/><BR/>LucasArts has been sitting on these games for years, and I've never understood why. Of course, there are many things I don't understand about LucasArts...but that's another topic!Michael Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437378247420941499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32650776.post-43804104317622214472008-02-10T08:00:00.000+09:002008-02-10T08:00:00.000+09:00LucasArts games will no doubt happen unofficially....LucasArts games will no doubt happen unofficially. You can already download stuff to run Day of the Tentacle on your DS.<BR/><BR/>I agree that the freeware indie games will likely have a following on WiiWare, but I've seen some pretty ambitious stuff too, such as FF Crystal Chronicles: The Little King and the Promised Land. But looking at games like Pop, I think groups of people are already seeing its potential and building some creative stuff to fit it. A lot of titles seem to be multiplayer too, which is something proper Wii games often lack.<BR/><BR/>In the end it's a new format for releasing simple, cheap to make games for a huge global casual market who may mix very well with 'freeware style' indie games. It wouldn't surprise me if it outgrew XBLA and PSN within a year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32650776.post-90353141941125403032008-02-10T07:21:00.000+09:002008-02-10T07:21:00.000+09:00Crayon Physics is the best game I've played this y...Crayon Physics is the best game I've played this year!

So, you could put 40 XBLA games on a 2gig SD card.<BR/><BR/>I really don't think the HD part is going to limit WiiWare games all that much.<BR/><BR/>It's also a little harsh to call it copying. An online store is a pretty natural thing to want to do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
