I was going through some of my comics today and found my old Questprobe issues. It was a series based on some adventure games made by Scott Adams (not that one lol) and published by Adventure International. The comics and the games were each based on single heroes (except one with the Thing and the Human Torch). The titles were Questprobe featuring The Hulk, .....Spider-Man and .... The Human Torch and The Thing.

I remember wanting them as a kid, but as I've said before I didn't have a computer so when the issues ended on a cliffhanger that was resolved in the games, I never got to see the ending. Wiki is useless for it since all it does is give the details I just gave and says there was a fourth one scheduled featuring the X-Men that never made it since the company went under.

So, did anyone here play them and are they worth scouring the net for?

Edit: Never heard of it before this topic, but good luck anyway!

Tyler, it's generally considered very bad form to link to pirated games here. There is no such thing as abandonware.

I wasn't aware it's pirated or illegal, thanks for at least being civil about it.

A few years ago Scott Adams released 17 of his games as freeware (not to be mistaken with Public Domain, though). Personally, I am not 100% sure if he had all rights to do it -- some of the games were licensed and the way how Adventure International went bankrupt could also create some twists. In any case the release was never challenged legally. You can get those games through the IF archive repository or straight from Scott's site ([url=]http://www.msadams.com[/url]).
As for if those are worth it -- you have to decide. In most incarnations those are text only games with rather simplistic parser. Not at the level of Infocom games. Personally, I've found those rather charming in their simplicity but YMMV.

Well, this is supposed to be a classy community ;-)
