Used to lurk this wonderful forum when I was deep into adventure gaming--not so much now. Welcome to the world of adventure gaming grumpy_otter, there are some great ones out there.
Anyway, I love a good TLJ thread. Glad to hear people are still discovering and enjoying it. I guess we have Steam in part to thank for that I guess. Good luck in finding the perfect game. Let's see, back in the day it was Riven, now I'm more into Fallout 3, an adventure of quite a different sort 8-).
I'll post in the sell/trade section later--I'm trying to sell some of my adventure games now (Neverhood, Obsidian, the GK series, etc.), but TLJ is one of those I don't think I'll ever sell. Probably end up buying it again on Steam with Dreamfall so I can avoid the "limited edition" Dreamfall with some seriously nasty DRM. I think the creator had an idea or three for a sequel right from the start of TLJ, hence the loose ends, of course Dreamfall is the same way.
OK, sorry rambling here. Back to the joys and pains of TLJ. Oh my gods, how I loved that game. I couldn't get enough and I almost made it through without hints, but that telephone puzzle really got to me--just couldn't get it. Couldn't get the underwater one either.
I loved April. She's a great character. The one thing I couldn't stand though is how things kept surprising her even up to the end. I'll have to play it again, but I distinctly remember thinking her character didn't exactly evolve in some ways. She seemed very resistant to the amazing, the seemingly impossible, the nearly unbelievable even after so many amazing things had happened to her. Still, an amazing game. Such great voice acting, made some of the duller, more protracted conversations bearable. Pretty much warm and fuzzy memories all around.
