This was an Aprisl Fish joke, huh?

Guderheinz 01-04-2009 06:00 PM

Oh man! :wall: I know that Al Lowe did write about working on a project similar to this and so I bought it right away! Well played! :kosta:

Kippesoep 01-04-2009 07:03 PM

Hehe. I downloaded it just to see what the heck you guys put in the archive -- I expected something a bit more ridiculous :)

The best jokes are the ones that are weird yet plausible, where you notice what a strange thing it is only when you pause to think for a second. Nicely done.

Mappy 01-04-2009 08:51 PM

Bought this game back when it came out, got some boxshots if you want :P


Actually I didn't think of it at first :embarassed: The best joke today!

Poker Crow 02-04-2009 03:02 AM

Oh man, I can't believe I fell for that!!

Acethor 02-04-2009 04:39 AM

PWNED!!! Hahahaha, duped!!!

notregged 02-04-2009 09:38 AM

Very well played. Almost fell for it. Does Al Lowe know of it? He'd have a laugh for sure. And those screenshots are really great, kinda LSL2-SCI-style.. You know what? Somebody (maybe myself) should start right away to create this game, eg. in AGS. Stay tuned.. :)

Don't think he is aware, but we could contact him here:

Indeed he'd have a laugh ;)

Eheh, it would be great!


Credits to Admins/Updaters for the great idea, in particular TheChosen and red_avatar for the realization!

And now let me quote this :p:

I e-mailed Al yesterday and here's what he had to say.....


Wow. How in the hell did they find that !? Well, I'm honored that someone remembered, I suppose.

Al Lowe? Statue? Hahahaha Thanks for all the great Larry games over the years...

Thought you'd like to see what an Abandonware web site used as their April Fool's Day joke this year...

Enjoy! http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/24...ry+Online.html

Ahah, glad to see he liked it :p

nice joke, but not impossible:
 
http://www.dsgames.net/qlink/habitat/pictures1.htm

mid-80s there were already online games, similar to Larry. Club Caribe and Habitat are two of them. Never got that big of course, not everybody had a modem in those days, and besides the costs were quite high (subscription to q-link or cnet or any other service, as well as your phonebill )

MaxStone 04-05-2009 01:24 PM

Huh?
 
I'm sorry...the download is nothing but a bunch of .jpg images, with the LSL pictures?!?

Isn't it supposed to be the actual game?

arete 04-05-2009 01:40 PM

Sorry. The game doesn't exist - it was an April Fool's Day prank. ^_^

The Fifth Horseman 04-05-2009 03:47 PM

... and people were puzzled why I proposed to change the title.

Changed now.

weylin 06-05-2009 04:25 PM

excellent game 5/5
:hysterical:

thatjeeves 20-02-2010 08:29 PM

Police Quest2
 
is police quest 2 abandonware?

Luchsen 20-02-2010 09:32 PM

It's sold, as you can see at our entry for that game. And please, don't take the first available thread to ask your future questions. ;)

The Fifth Horseman 20-02-2010 09:33 PM

No, it's still sold.
I don't see what that question has to do with the subject of this thread, however?

Tinkotin 18-02-2012 07:14 AM

I wonder how a game like that would work...

Tseki 02-03-2017 08:55 PM

Very funny :OK:

bat99 01-09-2019 11:39 PM

one hell of a memory for me it really feels nostalgic

dfwconcretepro 19-05-2020 09:17 AM
