Teenagent

Stary dobry point and click.

voices (amateurs from Secret Service (Gulash) yeah) included in CD version.

Teen Agent is a game where you, the gamer, take on the role of "high school prankster by day, skateboarding stunt man with a bad attitude by night" Arthur J. Donaldson... or by those who have only read about him in magazines; "The Phantom Grinder" It's a fast paced, out of control, first person simulation of driver's ed. The goal of the game is to make it to the big homecoming game where our hero will reveal himself to the entire community at half-time. Streak for your life and don't forget... 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock. As an added treat, Francis Taylor reprises the role of screwball sidekick and everyone's favorite levitating cat, Bucky.

"Teenagent" - an old Polish adventure game was more fun than I reckoned it to be. While the jokes were hit or miss, it entertained me considerably. "Teenagent" follows the story of of a teenager Mark, who has to solve the case of a missing gold. Why? Because a fortune-teller said so. His motivation? All girls love secret agents. The game follows the same pattern as all point'n'click games out there. With the exception that left mouse button examines stuff and RMB - executes. Such a reverse scheme is seriously strange to me. After the lengthy introduction you are dumped into a boot camp in order to hone his skills. The game is very short and there are only three locations where you can act: a boot camp, a village and a mansion. I found the graphical aspects of the game surprisingly good, considering it came out in 1994, however sound department is seriously lacking with only a few basic tunes. Puzzles are quite hard and I find a few of them totally out there - potato grenade, like, what? Surprisingly there were almost no pixel hunting with the exception of finding a lever in the car. Anyway, unless you are a hardcore adventurer be prepared to jump to FAQ once in a while. While "Teenagent" is brimming with humour and pop culture references like "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones", ultimately the plot is kind of shallow and juvenile with little "oomph" gained after completing the game. If you compare, lets say, "Syberia" to a full course meal at a French restaurant, then "Teenagent" is a hamburger at "McDonalds"... A small one; after finishing it you are still hungry. However that doesn't mean that "Teenagent" is a bad game. No, sir, it perfectly fits to play some evening when you do not have much time. Only do not expect a profound experience.

I will always love this game, since is one of the first adventures I played and completed without any walkthrough. And i was pretty darn pround of myself since I was about 10 yrs old back then. Yes, the game has its flaws, but remember that this is a small budget game, and cant be compared to budgets that big studios like LucasArts or Sierra had in that time. Yet they made a solid game worth playing.
