So... This could be fun. So what genre would some of these GREAT, yes GREAT, British TV series be best served by? AG or FPS? Dr. Who The Avengers (luv ya Emma!) The Prisoner Secret Agent Man The Saint Space: 1999 (ok, loved it as a kid, hate it as an adult) Are you being Served? and Allo, Allo, and Keeping up Apearances would probably be pretty funny AGs. Any of the Hammer House of Horror shows would make excellent AGs. (My apolgies in advance for for missing any others. My knowledge is quite limited being in the US.) Any other good ones I missed? Ahhh, looks like some people have already taken a stab at Space: 1999. http://www.space1999.net/~videogames/

Since all those great British TV shows (and many others) relied on great writing with indelible characters and loads of witty dialog, I fail to see how the FPS genre could do any of them justice - not even the action-oriented programs. So in one form or another (including possible action-adventure adaptations), the AG genre is a no-brainer. Cheers, Terry .

I agree. Although they all have some action elements, they are, primarily, shows that require solving puzzles and mysteries.

Revliskci Private Detective Posts : 724 Joined: 9 NOV 2002 Status : Offline	Pah! Without doubt, the most suitable British series for an adventure game is Sapphire and Steel You have: two equally strong main characters with great interaction and dialogue possibilities puzzling puzzles when you try and work out exactly what went wrong in the timestream spooky atmosphere the ability to use different character attributes to investigate, persuade and use items to obtain psychic impressions from them

Igor Artemov Space Cadet Posts : 185 Joined: 1 APR 2003 Status : Online	Hey, there ARE Monty Python games, 4 or so, and at least 3 are categorised as "adventures". Personally I go for Red Dwarf and Mr. Bean Killing Time

True, yes. I love those games, but a real Python adventure (not some sort of multimedia/puzzle game) would be terrific. Meaning Of Life is certainly the most adventure-y one but it's the worst Slightly Deranged - Cult Cinema And Games! www.slightly-deranged.com

jonathanboakes Space Cadet Posts : 140 Joined: 10 MAY 2003 Status : Online	The Avengers was covered by both "No One Lives Forever" games. Exploding lipsticks. Ninja's with parental issues. Psychotic cats. The games may involve some shooting, but the enemies say 'ouch'.
