  • Lucasarts and the Design of Successful Adventure Games
    LucasArts and the Design of Successful Adventure Games: The True Secret of Monkey Island by Cameron Warren 5056794 for STS 145 Winter 2003 March 18, 2003 2 The history of computer adventure gaming is a long one, dating back to the first visits of Will Crowther to the Mammoth Caves back in the 1960s and 1970s (Jerz). How then did a wannabe pirate with a preposterous name manage to hijack the original computer game genre, starring in some of the most memorable adventures ever to grace the personal computer? Is it the yearning of game players to participate in swashbuckling adventures? The allure of life as a pirate? A craving to be on the high seas? Strangely enough, the Monkey Island series of games by LucasArts satisfies none of these desires; it manages to keep the attention of gamers through an admirable mix of humorous dialogue and inventive puzzles. The strength of this formula has allowed the Monkey Island series, along with the other varied adventure game offerings from LucasArts, to remain a viable alternative in a computer game marketplace increasingly filled with big- budget first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. Indeed, the LucasArts adventure games are the last stronghold of adventure gaming in America. What has allowed LucasArts to create games that continue to be successful in a genre that has floundered so much in recent years? The solution to this problem is found through examining the history of Monkey Island. LucasArts’ secret to success is the combination of tradition and evolution. With each successive title, Monkey Island has made significant strides in technology, while at the same time staying true to a basic gameplay formula.

The Shivah: Kosher Edition (2013) i is a short point and click adventure game from Wadjet Eye Games, the indie game company founded in 2006 by Dave Gilbert.

Rav 66 _______ Stone will search for the meaning of a $10,000 bequest from a congregant, and perhaps larger meanings as well. The original game, The Shivah, was originally released in 2006, and was Wadjet Eye Games’ first title. “The Ko sher Edition,” was released with updated graphics and a new soundtrack. As told in Andrew MacCormack’s review (2006a) Gilbert had released several video games as freeware, and was well known in the circles that played indie adventure games, when he entere d the “5 th Anniversary Monthly Adventure Game Studio Competition.” The challenge was to create a game in a month. When Gilbert won the contest with The Shiva, and the contest - entry version of the game got 10,000 downloads, he decided to upgrade it and rele ase it as his first commercial game. It was well received, MacCormack’s review in Adventure Gamer cites positive mentions from PC Gamer, Manifesto Games and an interview in the New York City paper The Jewish Week.
