Telltale Games

MusicallyInspired · 01/18/2013, 11:49 am

I grew up with AGI as well. You can really tell the difference in quality from KQ1 (awful artwork) and their later games (Gold Rush! WOW!). Even KQ2 was far better than KQ1. Probably because it had actual artists directing it? Who did the artwork for KQ1 anyway? Was it KQ2 when Mark Crowe came onboard? SQ1 and SQ2, however, have some of the best AGI graphics I've ever seen. That's partially because I love Mark Crowe's sci-fi style plus he really knows how to make a few large rectangular pixels look amazing. SQ3 was fantastic as well. I miss his artwork. Can't wait to see it again in SpaceVenture!

I found Kerona to be kinda bland in SQ1 EGA. The in ship and space stuff was great. Although the colors were kinda bland, almost every screen was limited to 3-5 shades of color it seemed.

SQ2 seemed leagues ahead of SQ1 IMO in the art department. Even the character sprites looked way better. There was alot more color diversity on the screens.

SQ2 and KQ2 are probably my two most favorite AGI games.

AGI is the shit.

I'm still holding out hope for that AGI Lord of the Rings adventure game.

Haha! I remember those! Was that you the one that was making those, Lamb, on the AGDI forums? Before we joined IA? Holy crap that was a long time ago. I actually considered you a respectable member of the community at that time.

EDIT: Here's the thread!

Haha...yeah, that was me. I like how polite and nerdy I was in that thread. I'm not sure what changed. Still nerdy, I guess.

KQ5's odd looking EGA port would like to remind everyone of it's horror at this junction.

Heh, that's actually the version I grew up playing as a kid, because all we had at the time was a Tandy 1000. That and SQ4 EGA. I loved them. Though I was blown away by the colour palette cycling effect in SQ4 when I finally did see the VGA version on a friend's computer.

I grew up playing KQ4 AGI myself. Had no idea there was an SCI version. Years later I went back to play it again, and this time it was the SCI version and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why the game looked so damn different.
