DiscipleJF: Dayum picture! You scary!

I'm running on lack of sleep and too much chocolate. Haha.
Nah, don't be afraid, it's obviously too rusty to inflict any damage. And look into those eyes, definitely the eyes of a sheep - and I don't mean a sheep in disguise. ;-P

grimgroove: It's not the best game, but at that price I do think it's worth it. A revisit of the house we got to know in The 7th Guest and decayed afterwards really is worth 1,5 dollars in my book. So I bought it, not only for the impatient people's convenience :p

deleuz: I'm just glad FMV gaming died. These were not good games, imho, they just dazzled people by how many CDs they could ship. Bad acting, bad fmv, boring/bizarre puzzles, lackluster story, horrendous UI. In some ways, I think 7th Guest and 11th Hour are far more "dated" than games like Wasteland or Starflight.
I have to agree; and I was a fan of FMV when it showed up in games like Mean Streets and such. But that is probably because I grew up with the Atari 2600 and we had a common idea that 'Maybe one day video game graphics will be like MOVIES!'.

kojocel: I'm interested in buying Inquisitor but I don't know whether I still have a chance of seeing it.

Anyone could answer me this, please?
Inquisitor is still around.
Here is the list of games that have already passed the third round:

LynetteC: Well, I was going to hang around to see if Shelter came up, but it's nearly 4am and I have to be at work in a few hours.

If anyone could please grab a copy for me, I'd be happy to swap codes/pay via PayPal or come to some other arrangement and I'd be extremely grateful.

Thanks for a great night/morning everyone. Good luck with your game hunting and I'll catch you around here tomorrow.

Night night everyone.
Check your PMs for Shelter, and please consider it a gift.

Tex Murphy begs to differ. So do his fans. ;-)

The Wing Commander games made good use of FMV, but games that did so seemed to be the exception rather than the rule.

Not the greatest fan of FMV gaming either, mind you, and it definitely doesn't have its place in today's new game racks. But it does have a place in gaming history and I don't think its fair to crefer to FMV-gaming as if it were a genre, because it isn't. Some games using FMV were bad, some of them were good. Granted, the good ones were rarely good because of their FMV and rather despite of it, but still. A good FMV game that springs to mind is the second game in the Gabriel Knight series.
And while the acting is often lackluster, it can be enjoyable just because of that. In the case of The 7th Guest it wasn't so appalling as to pull me out of the game, but it was funny in some cases.
