This is just a suggestion. So don't flame me if it's a piece of crap.

You know how when you go to a game and it's got the littlelist of stuff like; 'Walkthrough, Manual, Box Art and such. Perhaps there could be an 'In-Joke' section. For example in Day Of The Tentacle we could have something like this:

Oozo the Clown is the name of a character used in LucasArts SNES game 'Zombies Ate My Neighbours'.
[SCREENSHOT OF OOZO FROM DOTT] [SCREENSHOT OF OOZO FROM ZOMBIES ATE MY NEIGHBOURS]

Good idea?

Oh, you mean stuff like:
When you walk to the Lou's store in Zak McKracken, you see a poster advertising Maniac Mansion on the wall.
When you enter Indy's office in The Last Crusade, you see a statue of Sam and Max and if you go through the items on the shelves, you'll find a slimey metheor from Maniac Mansion and a Crystal Shard that some guy in San Francisco wants...
When you play adventure games, you're likely to stumble upon a phrase from The Last Crusade: Hi, I'm selling these fine leather jackets.

Aren't these called 'Easter Eggs'? and for people something like 'Cameo appearances"

Easter Eggs. I had actually started on compiling a list of Easter Eggs for the site when I was in Spain. The list was split in two. One just telling you how to see it, and the other would have screenshots as well.

Basically, one list for those who wants to see them themselves, and one for those who have no problems whatsoever with spoilers.

Sadly that computer was stolen.

Easter Eggs, in-jokes. Whatever people call them today.

So, this is currently in production or it was but got cancelled?

Tom Henrik 10-10-2005 12:25 PM

It was, but got stolen.

Bobbin Threadbare 10-10-2005 12:30 PM

Soooooo.... Does that make it cancelled? Ot just make it slowed down? Or are you still making it? I', still unsure about it. What I mean is. The original data was stolen by a big, huge thug (Or a fellow smurf) but is it still going to happen?

Tom Henrik 10-10-2005 12:50 PM

If I get the time, I will, sure.

If anyone else is going to, go ahead. It's a nice feature.

Sebatianos 10-10-2005 01:06 PM

Well I do remember some of them (and I do have the games), so I may write some of them up and supply the screenshots, but I need to know, how it should look like or something...
Can you give us an example :Tom: ?

Bobbin Threadbare 10-10-2005 01:17 PM

I can also supply dozens.
