Two Guys From Andromeda (makers of Space Quest) are back!!

Holy goodness. And they're making a new game. Not Space Quest, but a sci-fi adventure with the same style of comedy. I'm so flabbergasted!

That's pretty awesome. With this and the Kickstarter projects (DoubleFine, Leisure Suit Larry, Jane Jensen and Tex Murphy), it really does seem as though we're entering a second golden age of adventure gaming.

This is seriously messing with my head.

Are we allowed to have nice things again? :eek:

No we are not.

I'm not sure it seems like a second golden age as much as a rehas of places we have already been. Silver age at best.

Hey, as long as the places being rehashed were decent ones, I don't see a problem with that!

You're a real 'glass is half empty' kind of guy, aren't you?

This is just beyond amazing. Really curious how Scott & Mark made up, after seemingly hating each other.

I would just like to see new material.

This isn't Space Quest 7. It's a new game called SpaceVenture. Double Fine is making a new IP, Jane Jenson is making new IPs. The only person who is rehashing is Al Lowe, but he doesn't have a choice.

What he said. Right now there are more new projects than there are rehashes.

Well, I think it was only Scott who had some misgivings about Mark, given his (first ever in ages) interview a while back. But that was a while ago now. They could very well have made amends or whathaveyou. I really don't care, honestly. I'm just happy to see them together. The best SQ games were made with both guys! I hope someday they get the SQ license, but I really can't wait to see what new things they can come up with.

I am truly psyched. This was beyond anything I could have imagined would happen. I never thought they'd get back together and make adventure games again! I will give them whatever money they ask for. The SQ series was and is still my favourite game series EVAR.

Silver is just as pretty as Gold, you elitist prick!

But seriously, I don't care what silly "age" it is. It's good to see people making adventure games.

Bt

It's a great thing that those two have patched up.

Man! This makes me incredibly happy!
I wonder if Bob Siebenberg would like to compose the soundtrack again. Space Quest III had the best theme-song (I saddened me that they never used it again, besides briefly in SQ4. Why so?). Also the music in the garbage freighter was magnificent as well.

Fantastic!! This truly is the year of Sierra!

It's just an awesome year for gaming in general.

Suspiciously awesome. TOO awesome. Uh oh. I guess the Mayans were right.

Wow! Awesome!

I think that this may be the best news, that has ever been announced. Space Quest is my fav adventure game series, and while this isn't an SQ game, I'm excited to see these two re-team.

Haha. The same thought occurred to me. Not only are there a bunch of awesome games being made but there's also 'Prometheus' and a new series of 'Red Dwarf'.

The Mayans were right.
