Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy): Game Over!

fahrenheit indigo prophecy

Also this game has been devoured...

Graphically it is excellent for the period, the story gets a little weird towards the end, but it certainly deserves to be played.

It is an advanced graphical adventure that combines different elements of gameplay and its style will surely be used on Heavy Rain (which I still play, next time).

The final I got out of my game session is: good.

Thank you QD!

And now some screens:

Fahrenheit on Windows Vista/7/8/etc... it works

Newcomers... :)
Fahrenheit is an old adventure from 2005/06 by Quantic Dream, yep, the developers of Heavy Rain.
It works like a charm with Windows XP, but I found a lot of problems with Windows 7 and the installer said:

Fahrenheit Installation failed

The steps to install it correctly are:


1) Copy the content of the Fahrenheit CD into a new folder on your hard-disk, I created a new folder in the desktop called "ftemp".

2) Download the modified installer from here and replace the original installer with this in you "ftemp" folder.

3) Install Fahrenheit using Setup.exe from "ftemp" folder.

Try to start the game... if it works you have no problem.

Update your game version to 1.1 (if you have the 1.0 version) with this patch:

If you have some problem to start the game (like fahrenheit.exe is started, but nothing happens and your cpu is 100% load) google for "Fahrenheit v1.1 [EURO] Fixed EXE" and patch the game with this new patch.

Black screen on start after few seconds? Try to ALT+TAB and return to the game.
I suggest you to look at Video configuration in the Options section to fine tuning the graphic.

Delete the "ftemp" folder after the installation!!

Thanks to Hyperpac.de

P.S.: use a good icon for you desktop shortcut like

(it's bigger when you save it on your HD)

Ok, installed... next step is to PLAY (but now I'm busy with Drakan :P).

Drakan: the Order of the Flame on Windows Vista/7/...

Drakan

Drakan: the Order of the Flame is an old game developed by now defunct Psygnosis in the 1999.
The main character, Rynn, looks a bit like Lara Croft (yeah, the 1999 is the year of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation) and Julie "FAKK2" from Heavy Metal FAKK2 (2000 here and here).


Rynn

Does it work on Windows Vista/Seven in the 2013? Yes!! 
A little bug appears after installing and trying to play: if you select the game difficulty the game crashes.

These are the steps to fix the bug:

1) update your game with this patch (drakan_patch445_eng.zip)*;
2) press and hold Shift while starting the game (yes, double-click and push&hold Shift to activate the Configurator);
3) the Configurator pops up and you can see a new tab "Developer";
4) select the new tab and active the "Developer mode".
5) launch Drakan and start a new game, you can select the level (don't cheat!), select "Ruin village" (the level are not in the right order to play!)



If you have other problems set the .exe of the game in the compatibility mode with W98/Me.
* If the patch file 404'd google the filename or try http://d01.megashares.com/dl/M6yHDDT/drakan_patch445_eng.zip

So... let's play!

Martian Gothic: unification (end?)

Martian Gothic

I'm to the 95% of the game (the catacombs, the arena, the obelisk, the chorus, the Queen Mab sarcophagus) but I dropped it.
I can assure you that is the most frustrating game I've ever played and the last levels are pure masochism.
If you're brave enough to play it, do it with the cheats:
select the item "Tip book" in the Kenzo's inventory and write AREYOULOOKINATME for GodMode and IFEELUNUSUAL for infinite ammo.
Use this if you have problems: http://adrian.saxtus.gr/rr-mgoth.doc (thanks Adrian! Best guide for this game)

Argh, the plot is not bad, I would like to finish it, but... I care about my mental health!

I don't give a fuck about this Martian shit, I found this RC car and now I'm really happy!!! WRRRRRRR
Some screens:

Grim Fandango 9th world #3

Grim Fandango, from 1998, is the first adventure game by LucasArts to use 3D models with prerendered backgrounds (like first Resident Evil games) and it's awesome for the plot, the dialogues and the general style.
There is some bug around in some locations, but nothing important.





Full game by screenshots (obviously spoilers):



Look at previous posts for making GF works on Seven/Vista etc...

[Nostalgia] Martian Gothic: Unification #1

Martian Gothic pc

I'm trying to play this old game (2000), but controlling the main characters is really painful.
Mars + station + dark presences + a reconnaissance mission...
There are all the elements for a good survival horror with a storyline a bit obvious perhaps, but it can fascinate.


Well... and now?
I'm so beautiful...
Can't rape a corpse...
This guy has no sense at all...
Curtains 1998: yeah, funny
I need you to cuddle me ♥
I do not know if I will continue ... controlling three characters around the station can be interesting, but it's also a beautiful pain in the ass.

Edit: aw god, enemies have the magnetic attack, you are 2 meters away from one of them and TACK! he's biting your back. Ah, finally weapons...

[Nostalgia] Grim Fandango, playing on Windows 7


How can I play this awesome game on the new versions of Windows?

The fast and clean way is a new installer and launcher (the links are in the bottom).
The steps are:
- install the game with this installer using your CDs
- the update patch will be automatically downloaded and installed
- use the launcher to launch the game (there is a shortcut on the desktop) and you can play it in "windowed mode" too...

Installer & launcher:
http://quickandeasysoftware.net/quick-and-easy-week-day-1-grim-fandango-launcher-grim-fandango-setup

If it doesn't work (you click start but the game doesn't start...) use this patch:

GrimPatchXPv2.exe  (google it)

I'm on Windows Seven 32, but without this patch the game doesn't work, so if you have this problem you can solve it very easily!

Call of Chtulhu: Dark corners of the... end?

Ok, game over.
Really, really nice.
Too much weapons maybe, at the end I'am fuck**g Rambo.


A glitch, beautiful:


There aren't mermaids, sorry:


The full mosaic of screenshots from start to end. "Spread the areaa!"



In the end there is a bug, if you can't reach the end change resolution to fix the bug (< FullHD)
