Heads up on a really cool game I found.

[roberttitus]

You might want to try out "The Apprentice". It is for computers & is a classical themed Adventure game. The subtle humor reminds me a bit of Monkey Island in a strange way. Currently there are 2 games in the series with a 3rd one being made. Both games are also free might I add. The first game is voiced (If you get the deluxe edition.. which I highly recommend), while the second isn't (which is really disappointing considering how well the game is voiced).

Here is a link. http://www.herculeaneffort.com/index.php?page=games

ACTUAL TESTIMONIALS FOR THE SECOND GAME
"Apprentice II is an excellent sequel to an excellent first game, that builds in every way on its predecessor - it's wider in scope and scale, with more characters, locations and puzzles." - Berian Williams, Adventuregamers.com
"...if you played the first part of the series, you know that you can expect top quality independent gaming: a very deep story, great character development, the best graphics the low-resolution AGS setting has to offer and a very unique sense of humor." - Jozef Purdes, DIY Games
"With a good fantasy plot, a fun cast of characters, fun puzzles, and outstanding graphics, Apprentice II is definitely well worth your time." - Home of the Underdogs
"Fantastic job! I'm enjoying this game very, very much." - Erwin Broekhuis, Adventuredevelopers.com
"I. Love you. So damn much." - Highwaygal
"Great game but now i am stuck" - crazyman
"This really feels like a Lucas adventure." - SteveMcCrea
"Everything from music to animation and background art is first rate..." - Foz
"The graphics and animations were suberb and I loved the music." - Ginny
"Another great game - and a lot longer than the original!" - GarageGothic

I could recommend a dozen other free adventure games like this. I do highly praise Apprentice though, it's a great game.

Glad somebody found it though

Which is ages in forum time. There are things that get buried on here after a day of inactivity.

I remember back when only the first Apprentice existed, and everyone at Adventure Game Studios Forums was so hyped for Part 2. It's too bad Part Three never got made.

Part 3 is supposedly in development according to herculean efforts' site.

Any chance you could post the titles?

[Scrawffler]

Nice one, thanks for the link! Am downloading it now, look forward to trying it out!

I was waiting for someone to ask!

There's the Ben Jordan series, which is currently 7 games strong (In Search of the Skunk-Ape, The Lost Galleon of the Salton Sea, The Sorceress of Smailholme, Horror at Number 50, Land of the Rising Dead, Scourge of the Sea People and The Cradinal Sins), all of which are pretty good. They're serious games though, so don't go in there expecting any zany homour.

On the opposite end of the scale is Ben There, Dan That!, a very adult comedy adventure that's one of the best games I've played all year. It's free, but its superior sequel, Time Gentlemen, Please!, isn't. But it's only $5. And you can get it on Steam. So, y'know, go get them.

Other, incidental games that I'd recommend are A Tale of Two Kingdoms, Annie Android: Automated Affection, Cedric and the Revolution, Cirque de Zale, Da New Guys, Grr! Bearly Sane, Mourir en Mer, Murder in a Wheel, Nanobots, No Action Jackson, Robotragedy and Stargate Adventure.

Ah, Ben Jordan. That's a love it or hate it series. I love the later editions but despise the earlier ones. Except Part 3. You forgot The Infinity String, which is a VERY VERY VERY Lucasarts style game which will remind many of the Dig. Also Frank the Farmhand.

Part 3 has been "in development" for years, unfortunately. Some of the members are now busy with other things, such as the Blackwell series.

Never played them, sadly. Probably should though.
