Sorry if you've already covered this but you said you're from Argentina, so I'm guessing English isn't your first language, it's one you've acquired? I was just thinking, my compliments on your fluency!
Indeed, english it's my second language, mostly self-taught, although I must say Wordreference.com helped a lot lately. Back in the day, when I used to play DOS games with a lot of text, most of them were in english so I had no choice but to try to understand with the dictionary at my side. :tongueout:
Many thanks for your compliments, to be honest I'm very insecure regarding my own skills with the english language, especially when it comes to use it orally. In my mind it sounds just fine, my tongue speaks otherwise, sadly.
You do great. :cheers:
Ah! When I saw the name "Gabriel Knight" I thought "Wasn't that a Sierra game back in the day? Funny that this person has the same name." And it looks like I was totally right! I never played the Gabriel Knight games, but I want to. My favs were/are the Quest for Glory series, but I also like Kings Quest and Space Quest. I always thought they'd make great movies if the original team would be willing to participate in putting them together. I also actually tried playing King's Quest in German to learn the language better but that didn't work out so well for me.
Welcome! And I agree that your language skills are better than many first language englishers such as myself right here.

Indeed is because of the Sierra game, my first name is Gabriel so I kinda took Gabriel Knight for myself. Such a great game, really hard and it gets quite scary by the end; if you can get your hands on it, get the CD version which has spoken dialogs, it's really immersive and you'll feel like you're solving the case yourself.
I never played the sequels, as far as I know they're in 3D and I had a personal vendetta against that particular form of graphics. I consider it responsible for the destruction of the graphic adventures, a genre I loved with a passion back then. Eventually it got better but those experimental times were dreadful.
King's Quest I only played 6 I believe, very good. And Space Quest, I think 1, 4, and 5, extremely funny and challenging games. I agree with you that they would make for great movies, although nowadays they'll surely f**k it up. Although to be honest Monkey Island came out quite well since is pretty much the same thing as PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. :twirl:
Thanks for your kind words!
