While Lucasarts may have long given up on their adventure series of old, the fans they
attracted back in the early 90's haven't. While most of us just continue to replay the old
ones other, more audacious, die-hards have actually taken it upon themselves to develop
sequels to their beloved series. Unfortunately, or for some people fortunately, many of
these games are being developed in Germany. To the non-adventure game obsessed
portion of the gamer community (read all) Germany has been and is one of the major
markets for all adventure games. But moving on here's a small list of the more promising
ventures.

Day of the Tentacle 2:

The website seems to be down for this particular Germany based game. The
trailer can be
found on youtube though. The game features hand drawn graphics and a new story based
in the familiar setting of Maniac Mansion. I'm not sure how long the website has been down
but the game looks as though it is coming along nicely. I'm not the biggest fan of DoT but
that doesn't mean that I'm not excited for this one.

Zac McKraken 2: Between Time and Space:

This impressive game was developed in Germany and was released in April. So far there is
no english version but this really is an impressive effort. It's in 2.5D and promises to have
over 50 different locations. I think it's pretty heartening to see so much effort go into a
nonprofit fan effort. You can learn more about Zac and download the game at their
website.

Indiana Jones and the Fountain of the Youth:

FoY is a sequel to my favorite game ever, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. This is the
only english fan made game I'm going to write about here and you'll see why. A quick look
at the website presents a lot of
promise. The artist working on the game produces work that looks absolutely identical to
Fate of Atlantis. The story follows right along with what you'd expect from Indiana Jones
and their self-released demo shows a whole lot of progress.

Oh and hai, I'm new here.
