Time, Gentlemen, Please!

Quoth Alex May:

Zombie Cow just released their sequel to Ben There, Dan That!, [called] Time Gentlemen, Please!. The original was a charming, hilarious, and distinctly British point-and-clicker that paid homage to the classic Lucasarts point-and-click adventure games. The sequel does much the same, carrying on directly from where the previous game left off. This time the graphics have been created in a higher resolution and there are swoony particle effects and stuff, and I’m told there is a full musical score and nearly three times as many sound effects. There are all manner of cunning chronological conundrums and hilarious historical hijinx, and I just made that alliteration up! Not bad!

Alex notes that what he’s played so far seems to be just as funny and even more professional than the original. The full version of the game can be had for a mere $5.

    cave-story rip-off

    See? That Tim L. stuff isn’t the worst there is.

    Anyway, I haven’t yet, but I will surely check out the demo of “Time Gentlemen, Please!”. I really enjoyed “Ben There, Dan That!” a lot, and I didn’t even grow up with the Lucas Arts classics :)

    i don’t know what the fuss is with cave story.

    it’s an admirable effort by one person, to be sure, but (for me at least) it has a lot of annoying design decisions that make playing it equivalent to pulling teeth, e.g. the aching slow dialogue which cannot be skipped, such as before the first balrog battle, and whenever you talk to anybody, and the incredibly long pauses when you find an item. and, personally, the story isn’t thrilling.

    cave story is not a bad game, but its only a starting point. we shouldn’t be discouraging other games inspired by it by calling them rip-off’s, but encouraging them to build on what cave story started.

    I’ve travelled back in time and it didn’t look like that.
