oh, and If you`re playing Anachronox don`t forget the new patch(which I beta tested ) that has just been released, fixes a lot of bugs.
I`m really happy to see that it is finally released after Joey`s(anachronox programmer) hard work.
Thanks for the info...I'll look for the patch straight away!

| Deleted User | I've wanted to play Monet: Mystery at the Orangery for such a long time, and today I finally decided to quit looking for a legal English copy, so I bought the original: Monet, Mystère à l'Orangerie. I was in a very brave mood and when I found that this site also sold Opéra Fatal and Kama Sutra, there was no stopping me.
Three French adventure games! My French sucks, I must have been mad. My only hope is that paintings, music and sex speak much louder than words.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about Kama Sutra. I played the Spanish version (I don't speak Spanish) and the game is so short and easy that I wouldn't have even needed a walkthrough if I'd played more carefully
I forgot my sig.

Status : Online | Betje: Do you know nay sources for adventures in French? I've been trying to find "Big Bug Bang" (which, I believe, is only available in French) for years.
Gamaholic: Gadget is one of my favourites. I suppose it doesn't quite qualify as a game in the strictest sense; more of an interactive story, similar to some recent experimental puzzle-less IF. It's absolutely stunning, though. If you like it, you may want to look for L-Zone, an earlier piece by the same artist.
This week, I have been mostly playing

Resonate, I ordered those 3 French games from www.alapage.com That's the only source I have.
I love Gadget and L-Zone too. Playing Games Interactive still sells L-Zone for a mere 4.95.

| Deleted User | Yes, I'll keep my French dictionary handy, in case I understand what they're saying. : I'm not counting on any subtitles.
Michal, isn't it strange that Kama Sutra was translated in Spanish but not in English. Short and easy...? Hm, I usually prefer the opposite...
Yes, I could have resisted the temptation to say that. But I didn't!

Yes and no. I think that says something about the English speaking people

Hey, I thought that was a pretty sophisticated thing to say

Status : Online | Wow Patvs, you're out of control! But I like seeing all the pics of your latest finds. I don't think I've seen the box for Blue Force before. And Sega PODS? What the heck is that? Not to mention the Audio Sonic console. Never seen that before. I love reading about vintage systems though and the history of videogames. I subscribed to the now defunct mag Next Generation just to read the one page near the end that told stories about the olden days. I forget the name of the guy who wrote all those articles, but he wrote a lot of interesting stuff.

Resistance is not futile, we're gonna win this thing, humankind is too good, we're not a bunch of under-achievers! We're gonna stand up, and we're gonna be human beings. We're going to get fired up about the real things, the things that matter! Creativity, and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.

| Deleted User | Wow! Classic Sega Pods. I wonder how that works. It looks weird. You know what would be cool Patvs? having your own museum of classic or present collection of games. Salute!!
