What if X was an Adventure Game

DaviesDavies
edited May 2012 in General Chat
The idea behind this thread is for people to create pictures depicting what different forms of media would look like if they were a traditional adventure game.

You can use pretty much anything you desire as a source. For example, you can try turning your favourite film, book or (non-adventure) game into a classic point & click adventure.

To get the ball rolling, I've created these two...

Ridley's Scott's upcoming 'Alien Prequel'; 'Prometheus'. Elizabeth Shaw explores the pilot seat for the mysterious Space Jockey. In her inventory are the following items...

* A Weyland Corporation manual.
* A space helmet (needed for when exploring the surface of the alien planet).
* A detached Space Jockey head/helmet.
* A urn containing Space Jockey bio-technology.

'Red Dwarf' (British TV series). You play as Lister. In this picture you can see the available dialogue options when you talk to Rimmer.

    Except it's really not. This is a specific/niche art thread. Also, it's about imagining what various properties would look like if they were a classic point & click adventure game, not a 3D, non verb based TellTale product.

    Furthermore, your comment is not constructive; you naughty swine. Be gone with you.

    I'm good with it. And I would play the hell out of a Red Dwarf adventure game.

    This is such a cool idea for a thread surprised there aren't many responses. I plan to chip in a few photoshoped ideas once I invest in a decent graphics tablet.

    Anyone remember that fan made image of what Tales of Monkey Island would look like as a 2d game with Le chuck's Revenge graphics?

    Absolutely I do. However, for the life of me, I'm unable to locate it. Surely someone has a copy that they could post, seeming as it's completely suited to this thread.

    If anyone's having a hard time remembering the picture in question, it was a 2D version of DeSinge's lab, with the classic verb interface.

    :confused: I don't get it. Plustard?!

    EDIT: Just saw your thread. You're so creative that you could probably develop a fully fledged 'Plustard' adventure game in your sleep. :p

    What if 'The Curse of Monkey Island' had a more "realistic" art style...

    I feel that I should point out that I absolutely adore Bill Tiller's artwork in 'The Curse of Monkey Island' and I wouldn't change it for the world. However, seeming as this is a 'what if' thread...

    curses.jpg
    Original.

    Altered.

    Adorable!! You might have added "scream in panic" and "fall over" to the verb list, but... this is very nice. :D
