Graphic Adventures, the Book

Hello all,

Just fell across a book that might be interesting for most of you. It's a book that tells the story of graphic adventures throughout time highlighting games from Lucasfilm/Lucasarts, Sierra and more. It mostly consists of articles from Wikipedia that has been rewritten and added more stuff - screenshots in particular. There's even a chapter about Tex Murphy in it and an interview with Chris Jones. It's a very interesting read although the interview was made a month prior to the release of Three Cards To Midnight.

You can buy the book at $29 or download it for free in HTML-format :)

Thanks for the link.

I skipped ahead to the end to read Chris's interview. That was funny what he said.

Overall, I would say that our games were well-received and generated a moderate but avid fan base.

Avid just doesn't seem to be sufficient to describe our craze. Haha.

You're so right, Sam :)

I'm a bit surprised though that not many others have taken a look at this link and commented on all the gems in this book. It really brings back a lot of fond memories from the good old days :)
