For some reason it reminded me of the hospital scenes in It Came from the Desert.

I recognize the second two as certain adventure games, because I've seen their websites, but I couldn't name or describe them so there you go.

"Space Invaders the Pinball" seems weird no matter how you look at it.

Valjean vs. Robojean, baby.

There's nothing quite like making Jean Valjean beat the living piss out of Cosette and cackling with glee. There's nothing quite like that at all.

Am I the only one who finds it fascinating that Mister Toups would be equally convincing dressed as either Jean Valjean or Johnny Turbo? Because, damn.

I have been collecting interesting photos and images for a while now. I have been meaning to make a lot of these now. Unfortunatly in my photoshopping I destroyed one of the originals by saving over the original with one of these, not I am upset. I am happy with a lot of these though.

Oh GOD yes.

That second one is gorgeous.

I wish I could take credit for the screenshot, but I just cropped it.

I found the box for this game recently! I'm not sure where the disc is though.

I am listening to Philippe Vachey's beautiful soundtrack to the LBA games right now. It is a goddamn shame, what most of the Adeline / No Cliche folks are reduced to doing, these days.

More banners of the French, I say!

Those Another World shots are beautiful. I love the Goblins (or Gobliiins?) as well.

According to this recent interview, most of the crew are rocking out over at Little Worlds Studio, creating such mind-blowing interactive DVD titles as "Driving Theory Test" and "Trivial Pursuit - Let Loose".

Frederick Raynal is still unwilling to let the dream die -- he appears to have recently started his second or third company since No Cliche, without ever having produced a product.

Wow, that is actually tragic.

I have the feeling this happened with a lot of the small developer teams I really respect.

I can't take screenshots of Xargon. Sad.

I love the lone soldier on the far left of Dhex's third banner. Run for it little guy!

I love the Space Quest one. Did you take the screenshot yourself?

The image in your blog doesn't do as much as this one. It's like having one of my more sacred subconscious fantasies projected from my brain into reality, like some twisted camera obscura. It's like seeing into the future that I've always dreamed off. You can't possibly imagine how profound seeing this image was.

The image in your blog, though, the expression on their faces, it's too familiar. And the guy, too. I don't need help feeling pathetic and I can get by without girls laughing at me about playing games. I feel grim enough as it is.

I'll email you the rest of the set that I have after I get home. Unfortunatly I think that that one was the one I cropped and wrote over the original.

I remember reading the Underdogs review of it...how is it? I'd like to hear more, just because it sounds so bizarre.

It always played awkwardly, and the enemies will almost uniformily clobber you, but it's worth it for the sights and sounds and overall nonsense (a fighting table, a hysterical witch). It's basically an outdoors Alone in the Dark with lots of paganism and sex thrown into the mix.

Also, you wouldn't believe killing the Minotaur was at all possible, but you can. I think just about all the environments are open and it becomes a matter of solving puzzles and unlocking events in circular, free-roaming ways. So it's difficult but feels deep.

"Outdoors Alone in the Dark" sounds pretty good to me.

There's so many now ... a few make me wonder every time, but I always forget to ask about them.

I was considering submitting more forgeries as well, just for kicks.
