Subtitles in Adventure Games 2 (Gabriel Knight 2)

One such game with no subtitles is Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within.

I was disappointed with the game after I uploaded the game to my computer from the 3.5 disks when I saw that there was no subtitles. That was in 1995. I sold the game to a local pawnshop. I played the first and third games in the Gabriel Knight series (The Sins of the Fathers, Blood of the Sacred - Blood of the Damned) with subtitles. I felt a gnawing emptiness since that time.

Fast forward to 2007: I happened upon a adventure game forum announcement about a subtitles patch for the Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within game. I quickly downloaded that. I searched on EBay to snap up the game. I downloaded the patch. I was very happy when the game opened with the subtitles on display.

I was able to put Gabriel Knight 2 on the completed adventures game list.

Subtitles in Adventure Games

I purchased Barrow Hill and installed the game on my desktop computer. When I looked at the options screen, the subtitles option was absent. I assumed that it could have been built in the game and started the game. To my dismay, the game was not subtitled at all. I uninstalled the game. I sold the game on EBay the next day.

To my delight, several developers put out demos of the adventure games. That way, I can check if the game has subtitles. Otherwise, I take the risk of buying the game and then look at the manual or options screen for the subtitles option. If there is no subtitles option, I sell the game the next day.

So I beseech all adventure game developers to put subtitles in the adventure games. Subtitles can help with the voices of the characters if the voices are hard to understand.

If you, game developers, put the subtitles in the games, you will make all of us (adventure gamers) very ecstatic.

Walkthroughs...

Today, we are lucky to be able to find a walkthrough to any adventure game on the Internet.

Before there was an Internet, we had to call a toll number to get a hint or mail in a money order/check to get a hintbook.

After I became an AOL user in the late '90s, I found hints to adventure games on Universal Hint System website (http://www.uhs-hints.com/).

As the years pass by, I have found more adventure game walkthrough websites.

They are:

Hello

I have decided to start this Avid Adventure Gamer blog to put down my thoughts, rants, raves, and comments on past, present and future adventure games.

My first adventure game was Manhunter New York by Sierra way back in 1984. I had come upon a college dorm resident playing this game in his room. He showed how the game was played. I was hooked. I went to Egghead Software to purchase the game and finished it within a week. Later that month, I noticed that a couple was playing another computer game. It was King Quest III: To Heir Is Human. I bought, played and loved the game.

Ever since that time, I have played over three hundred adventure games.

Happy adventuring!
