Indiana Jones - the Last Crusade FM Towns longplay Part 1/6

[tf2cheats]

very difficult game, especially for a kid who didnt have english as first language.

not gonna lie , tried it on scummvm years later and had to use a guide now and then :p

[flapdancer]

@laffer35 Just downloaded it today. Yes, the music is a lot more impressive in the cuts. One little thing I noticed though - strangely, in the Venice cafe scene, the cool little PC jingle from the VGA is missing in the FM-Towns. It's just silent. Odd!

[flapdancer]

Is there any major difference between this and the VGA PC version? They look exactly the same to me. I have EGA and VGA versions of it and this looks like the VGA.

[laffer35]

@flapdancer

Yes, the music - the PC version uses MIDI while this uses CD audio.

[redoutlander]

@laffer35 I'm so jealous. I bought a copy off of steam and it is midi only. Even though the midi in this game is quite good the CD version is superior.

[sammymarlo]

@flapdancer Main difference is the CD AUDIO.

[xDet3rmin4tionx]

This game is far too hard lol just downloaded it on Steam, used to play it when I was about 5, my dad must have helped me more than I realized lol

[MysticArksRevenge]

That is strange. I did not know the SCUMM engine used by Lucasfilm can be used on a Japanese computer. I thought they could only be used on Macintosh, DOS, or Windows PC's.

@MysticArksRevenge

Well they could do it...these games were also released on atari, amiga and (early lucas arts games) on C64...Even on the NES was a port of Maniac Mansion

[Frodowood]

This game was also made in a Machintosh version with much better music and sound fx. however only i EGA mode.

[TobopProductions]

Awesome.

Some flakes in San Fransisco want the crystal shard, I wonder who they could be :)

[lucius1976]

Back then i bought it for PC. In the retail box you even got a printed booklet of Henry Jones diary. Awesome :-)

[bergqvistjl]

Its a shame that the rumblings of the train at the beginning ruined the Main theme.

[odraconiandevil79]

Shame this game didn't have speech but it is probably the best version with the PC a close second.

[lolmann19]

great game i play it on my pda xD

[grim107]

I got a copy of this and LOVE it. The only thing I don't like about it is that they took the music out of the Venice scene. I always thought that was the best music in the entire game.

[rodzandz]

Were the FM-Towns games normaly in Japanese or English?

[laffer35]

Normally in Japanese. The games were only released in Japan, so :)

But a few have both Japanese and English, like these Lucasarts ones.

[lemmewatchthisshit]

great... many thanks to you!

[bodypowr]

ah the memories :) tnx for posting!

[JaguarOFcomedy]

What kind of screen recorder have you been using.

[TylerCharlesFisher]

Ah! Sam and Max totem pole!

[liquidsn]

oh my god! you are the man! i love this game so much.

[Veke99]

where did you get this?

[laffer35]

eBay. The FM Towns Lucasarts games are on there from time to time.. very rarely though and prepare to pay hundreds of dollars for each of them.

[OneOldNovelist]

You pay hundreds of dollars for a game, which you could download in ten seconds?

[laffer35]

Yes. It would take at least a few minutes to download some of these, though, as they use CD audio and thus take up a few hundred megs.

But I collect Lucasarts adventure games and so a pirated version won't do.

[lennyslen]

here we go again my man laffer , point and klick FTW

[mGoLos]

Thanks laffer, I remember playing this one as a child, pre-internet and everything, had to find old computer magazines or call my friends older brother when I was stuck ... Good times :D
