catchaserguns | I'd finally got off my duff to play this game. I found a walkthrough on the internet and started playing. I had to have my dosbox cycles to 10000 in order for the game not to crash. I finished it and it wasn't bad. I wonder since it was a shareware game how much was the price for the full game? | |

This game is Monkey Island 2 in an investigator-costume, with nonsensical puzzles and some crazy gore. The only moment I liked was the Maniac Mansion reference (the nuclear swimmingpool). |

DarthHelmet86 | I can see what you mean Oak, the standing face on pose looks very similar. | |

Having actually played the game, if anything it vaguely reminded me of the Lucas Arts Indiana jones series. Operative word here is "vaguely." It's a stand alone game, just not an amazingly good one. But seeing as it's being compared to some of the greats it had a hell of a lot to live up to. I liked it well enough |

Professor Oak | From a glance, the main character reminds me of Guybrush Threepwood from Monkey Island II, but that could just be me. | |

DarthHelmet86 | How could it be anything like Monkey Island 2...does it involve Pirates, searching for a map to Big Whoop a Zombie Pirate perhaps? Having similar elements to another story is not plagiarism all stories are based on similar elements stealing the exact same story directly is plagiarism. | |

Lulu_Jane | ...I don't remember any jokes in this game. | |

The plagarism is in the jokes, not in the story what is certainly unique (but I miss a comprehensive storyline). EDIT: Actually, the story is plagarism too. It is exactly like Monkey Island 2. |
