"Space Quest V: The Next Mutation" is the only of the Space Quest saga, along with the Space Quest I VGA, to not have an official talkie edition made by Sierra. The fantastic work of voice synthetization by cdb-boop fills the gap. Technically you'll need v.1.04 of the game already included with collector's editions.

At the moment it really works only if executed trough latest DOSBOX, DOSBOX-X or the command prompt which is closer to genuine DOS. On Scummvm gives problems (detected but not recognized version in first place), but if they added support for that cool spiffythedog's unofficial patch for Space Quest I VGA and for NRS/Sun Software patches, we may see the full support of SQ5 dub mod soon.

Check out also this more "homemade" King's Quest 4 Talkie&VGA edition.

Holy crap. The SQ5 narrator voice sounds just like the real deal. The way characters say their lines seems also quite compelling. Might turn the entire game into a whole new experience.

I was told about "Tien Adventures" on the DREAMM discord. It's the dutch release of a compilation otherwise released in Germany. The games are in English, but some of the versions of it are pretty weird. The games are on two CDs.

The first CD has
Day of the Tentacle, which is just the regular talkie version
Maniac Mansion, which is the enhanced version with copy protection intact
Zak McKracken, which is the chunky version with copy protection intact
LOOM, which is the 16 color version with copy protection intact
Secret of Monkey Island, also the 16 color version with copy protection intact
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, 256 color version which never had any copy protection
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, which is the floppy version, with copy protection intact
Monkey Island 2, which also has copy protection intact
and finally Indiana Jones Desktop Adventures

It's really strange that they went with the older versions of Zak and Monkey Island 1 (the German box set has the enhanced Zak and VGA MI1), and with copy protected version of LOOM, when that was released without it on the American Classic Adventures box set.

The second disc is just Sam & Max Hit the Road (I've not looked further into that one, given it is on its own disc I assume it's the regular talkie version)

I had the occasion to play some Dreamforge games lately : Veil of Darkness and Sanitarium

LucasArts fans (and if you're not, what are you doing in this thread?) may find this interesting. It has a bit of beta Day of the Tentacle footage in it



Also on the subject of LucasArts adventures, ScummVM 2.10 is adding support for the PowerMac versions of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis to The Dig (as in actual having the Mac GUI and the software synthesizer used for FOA, DOTT and S&M)

Just like for '97 BLUE SANGO, in a surprisingly fast way, the recently found '95/'99 TRIPITAKA (Three Baskets or Xuanzang Sanzo's Dharma-Seeking Journey) game, considered one of the rarest game in the world and spiritual/legit successor of '93 COSMOLOGY OF KYOTO, has been added to detection table Daily Build.

Wow, I never knew there was a Buddhism-themed video game out there. Cool.

Do you know how it was developed? Is it an educational title or for pure entertainment only? How accurate is it to the actual history of Buddhism? And how does it play?

[Fantinaikos]

Both games are in Director engine and where developed by Softedge. Cosmology Of Kyoto publisher was Yano Electric, Tripitaka by PD Inc . Machintosh version comed out before Windows ones. The games have both ententairement and educational purposes, they even have an encyclopedia integrated, main difference is that Cosmology Of Kyoto have some RPG-ish elements and centered on japanese culture and folklore while Tripitaka is also focused on chinese one and is more like a visual novel.
