Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

Post by raina »

http://www.telltalegames.com/strongbad/

Episode 1 (of 5) has been out for a couple of days now.. Anybody play this yet? Any thoughts or is there even a Homestar crowd among ScummVMsters?

I've been playing it tonight and so far it's been a very enjoyable point-and-clicky, especially if you're familiar with the characters beforehand and like the humor.

And such memorable quotes as "Swedes? I hate those guys!" and "I feel like I could take on the world!" which I'd like to think of as a nod towards DotT.

Anyone?

I quite liked Homestar Ruiner, although getting to level 15 on Snake Boxer 5 wasn't easy; but I am a completist and wanted to get all the extras :)

TTG bring another gold.

I haven't played it yet but I need to get it sometime soon. I love how Strong Bad describes it: A Point & Click-em-up adventure game :D.

Level 15? Wow, I got to 9 in the demo version but since you couldn't save, currently my highest level is like 3 because I wanted to see how far it would go with just punching without moving or blocking at all. Gotta get back to snake boxing once the story has been explored.

played it on my Wii! it's quite awesome

and yeah I'll probably buy Sam and Max season one for the Wii as well (can't wait for fall)

I'm really glad that telltale games brings point 'n click to the console

What do you mean? You do know that Tell Tale was made by ex-Lucasarts employees in the wake of the passing of Sam & Max 2 right? So Tell Tale IS Lucasarts. Well, what Lucasarts used to be anyway.

Probably LucasArts-owned franchises like Monkey Island, Full Throttle and Indiana Jones games.

In that case I believe Lucasarts has made their position very clear. Even if they were to make more adventure games they'd all be as bad as MI4 (actually I've never played MI4 but I've heard by many that it's a big let-down).

I believe the original question about where LucasArts was on this was rhetorical.
