As a very happy Plasma user....... Im always excited to see whats in the new versions....... So far I have not been disappointed.......

I am most excited about the improved multi monitor support....... The empty desktop.... thing..... bug?....... Is quite annoying...... If they can solve that I would be a very happy camper......

Quoting: Pengling
Quoting: StoneColdSpiderI have never heard of Jump 'n Bump....... I will have to check this one out..... Thankyou......
Funnily enough, I've heard of it, but I constantly mix it up with "Bump 'n' Jump [External Link]" (also known as Burnin' Rubber or Buggy Popper), which is a 1980s arcade racing game by Data East where you have to destroy other cars. :tongue:
As did I today....... I kept reading it as "Bump 'n Jump"....... I also owned Bump 'n Jump on the Atari 2600....... Was one of my favorite games on that system......

Get a whole load of Wadjet Eye Games adventures in this new bundle

Quoting: dibzThese games are great. If anyone is considering this, doesn't already own them, and likes old-school point and click adventure games do yourself a favor and get these. It's downright criminal how cheap the bundle is for what you're getting!

To note, not only do they have native linux versions, but WadjetEye hired the dev that did the linux ports in a post-proton world where he absolutely did not need to do that.

To note #2, ScummVM also semi-recently added the AGS interpreter -- which is what these games are made in -- to ScummVM and you can play most if not all of these games in ScummVM if you'd rather for some reason.

Primordia and Gemini Rue are some of my personal favorites for this type of game, and I pretty much always recommend them whenever Point and Clicks come up.
+1 to what he said...... They truly are great point and click adventure games...... to the point that I have even gotten 100% achievements for them on steam for all the ones that I do own......

If you have any interest at all in point and click adventure games......... Just stop reading this and get buying!!!..........
