“I need to rent a bike.”

“Packages of maple syrup!”

“It’s a black magic marker!”

“The abbot left his spritzer behind. Spritzer behind?”

“That cat’s got some major black fur going. I might be able to use some of that.”

“Now that’s a Moseley outfit!”

“Phew, man, the things I’ll do for a decent bike.”

(Sad Points if you have any idea what I’m talking about. Seriously, I never finished what was an otherwise decent game because of this shit. And I loved the first one and enjoyed the second enough to forgive it for being FMV.)

Lots of people said things along those lines. It didn’t bother me at all. Much less inane than say the lauded Grim Fandango…

I’m almost positive you are talking about Gabriel Knight…something or other. I think 2? Anyway, the one with the werewolves had some awful spoken lines in front of the deli about sausages. That may seem like a trivial detail, but in the age before internet faqs, games that had me clicking around endlessly for the proper contrived solution to artificial problems had a strange way of ingraining their lowest points in my mind.

White Sausages. White Sausages. White Sausages. White Sausages.

But no, to buy the fucking things I had give my wallet to the vendor after clicking the white sausages. Motherfuckers.

The one he means is GK3 with the infamous cat hair mustache puzzle. The game’s story was really quite interesting, with a couple of interesting twists for the reoccurring characters in the series. Too bad the gameplay was mired in some of the worst cliches of the adventure genre.

I’m surprised no one has posted “When it’s done” yet.
