90's shows that shoulda gotten point and click adventure games like Duckman Anonymous Fri Apr 17 15:30:00 2020 No.6348362 [Reply] [Original]

Duckman is 100% accurate to the show and is in general a very funny/good point and clicker with the entire voice cast including Tim Curry (except Jason Alexander), but the guy they got for Duckman is pretty good anyway.

Ducktales would have made for a great point & click adventure.

>Play as Scrooge McDuck
>Walk around in his mansion
>Go outside and visit locations in Duckburg
>Unlock other locations ala Indy4 as the story progresses
>CD version has actual voice Ducktales voice cast.

Would probably look best with the "bigger" artwork style as seen in Day of the Tentacle/Full Throttle.

I would have loved a Roger Rabbit adventure game in the style of Toonstruck.

>Walking around as a digitized Bob Hoskins sprite
>Map shows L.A. and Toontown
>Game switches between Eddie or Roger

Would have been amazing to see a digitized Bob Hoskins in a drawn Toontown, and then later a drawn Roger in a digitized background of L.A.

Not just a pure point and click mind you, it would have to have top down flying shooter sections and maybe other types of mini games. Must have lots of crime solving and free roaming the city would be mandatory. I bet it would have been great.

It's strange how The Simpsons was never made into an actual point & click adventure game.
we got platformers, puzzle games, virtual springfield, weird platform/racing combos, gta clones. but never a monkey island like adventure.
you'd think it would be perfect for an adventure game.

>Homer does something dumb
>Guide Homer through Springfield solving his problem.
>Talk to tons of characters from the show.

And its not like it came too late, Simpsons was 1989. so would have been perfect for the 1992 VGA style adventure games.

Toonstruck was really ahead of its time in the tech but apparently it was awful to work on because the digital cameras they were using were prone to failing, it was incredibly expensive and Christopher Lloyd got so frustrated one day he just lost it and walked off the set. Especially as he had to do all the movements for walking and picking stuff up at different takes and different walk cycles and they kept having to do re-takes for the cameras. It's why digitisation was abandoned pretty quickly because it was just massively expensive to keep up with. Didn't help the game was a year late, had a lot of material cut out just to ship it and flopped as well.
>>6354079
Virtual Springfield supposedly started life as a point and click adventure as Fox Interactive wanted to really do something with the IP like they were doing with the X-Files game but it eventually became a "Multimedia" CD-ROM because of rights issues with Acclaim and Konami on console/PC (Fox made stupidly long contracts till 2000 and both Acclaim and Konami sat on the license because "Simpson-Mania" was over and neither liked any pitch they got for a 5th gen Simpsons game )

I know this is /vr/ but who actually watched Duckman? Im 35 and I remember it when I was a kid, we used to go upstairs and watch it on my friends parents bedroom tv. Used to keep watch to make sure parents didnt come. Used to do the same thing with Beavis and Butthead, had my finger on the "previous channel" button to switch back to nickelodeon at a moments notice.
I hadn't discovered Seinfeld yet so had no idea who Jason Alexander or Costanza was. I figured IRL he looked like duckman or howie long or something

I used to love it late in high school; adult animation was still somewhat rare and the highbrow/lowbrow mix of angry energy of the show was compelling around that age. I got some DVD remuxes from /co/ a while ago and rewatched some; it gets a bit obnoxious and doesn't quite hold up, but I remember the Klasky Csupo look fondly

31 here. My older brother was a fan of the show, so I caught it occasionally while it was new if I came into his room. Only saw a tiny bit of it as a kid. I think I enjoyed it back then, but it definitely feels like a show that's easier to appreciate now as an adult.

Pretty much any cartoon, honestly. I could justify one for most '90s/early '00s cartoons. Beavis and Butt-Head had two more-than-playable ones (and a hybrid one on the Genesis). Spongebob had a decent if really easy one. Space Goofs had a great one that flew under the radar.

Ren & Stimpy I think is a huge missed opportunity there, as the episodes already often play out in ways where R&S are in some sort of dire situation that has no unclear solution. I can tell you honestly that I'd pay for and play an entire game based around the "Space Madness" episode alone, let alone a mixed-story game or an original tale. I imagine the mechanics would function similarly to Sam & Max where you would always be Ren and occasionally use Stimpy as a "tool," like slamming him against something as a hammer, latching his teeth on something and using him as a wrench/lever, and many other more perverted uses.

If we're talking purely about Dexter's Lab and not the side shows, DL does not have very many good characters, and thus, the focus on puzzles rather than characters, which is my favorite aspect of 90's point and clicks

If you brought in the Justice Friends and Monkey, maybe. I don't know how though.

Never really liked the show itself all that much, but its weird that it never got an adventure made.
I mean, the art was allready all digital anyway. they could have just pre-rendered a buncha locations and slapped a story onto it and then have the characters displayed as 3D models.
Grim Fandango approach, you know,

Dibs, literally, the Rare developed LJN version came in 89, The Capcom GB game came in 91 (developed by Shinji Mikami), there were some sperggy rumors about an NES version using the same engine being made but that was just a delirious hallucination by Nintendo Age, also there was a FDS Roger Rabbit game, here it was Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle.
