Right on!

I'm always up for some probing.

I thought this thread was going to be about the two P&C adventure games by Tsunami being released here.

This is cool too, I guess...

[...] brought another scenario into play that is even less probable :P

Yeah, that's what I was thinking... the possible explanation is quite unlikely but I'm fairly sure the chances of spotting any of the other things suggested are far less...

I thought his thread was about Ringworld Revenge of the Patriarch, a sci-fi point & click adventure game from the 90s with exceptionally nice graphics.

Never heard of it but it looks interesting:

It already has some wishlist entries (there seems to be a second part):

Tsunami adventure games (P&C and FMV)

Ringworld: Revenge Of The Patriarch (1992) - 3rd Person, Tsunami Media
Blue Force (1993) - 3rd Person, Tsunami Media
Return To Ringworld (1994) - 1st Person FMV, Tsunami Media
Man Enough (1994) - 3rd Person, Tsunami Media
Flash Traffic: City Of Angels (1994) - 1st Person FMV, Tsunami Media
Silent Steel (1995) - 1st Person FMV, Tsunami Media

I started playing Revenge of the Patriarch yesterday, it's been on my personal curiosity list for a rather long time so I finally decided to try it out, will let you know if it's worth playing or not once I finish the game.
Not sure if I'll play the sequel as well (Return to Ringworld).

Return to Ringworld is 3rd person perspective not 1st person, it's a traditional point & click adventure game like the first game in the series. I'm playing the first one right now.

Already voted for Blue Force a couple months ago as that one caught my interest, as for Man Enough / Flash Traffic / Silent Steel, zero interest in those but that's just my opinion, of course. Had my fair share of badly acted FMV games back in the day, stuff like Daedalus Encounter and so on (that one isn't even the worst one....) :D

Thanks for the copy&paste typo warning. Indeed, Man Enough is the 1st person FMV game, so that data is mixed up on those two games.
FMV is not for everyone. I'm more into 3rd person P&C than FMV or puzzle heavy myst-like games, but I'm still interested in those. Even the bad ones, for collecting purposes.

PS: The list of tsunami adventures was part of a big list on adventure games missing from GOG that I'm still compiling.

I think I know what you mean, there is this strange desire among many of us to have the "complete overview" so one has to keep researching about all games. Stone age hunter/gatherer instinct gone digital...

A couple days I installed Fragile Alliance for nostalgia's sake and decided to take mental inventory of all the space strategy games and once I realized how many I have missed (or only played the demo versions of) I was completely overwhelmed. I keep discovering games I didn't even know about even though I spent a large chunk of the 90s focusing on playing PC games night and day as well as carefully reading various gaming magazines, trading games with anyone at school who had a remote involvement in gaming etc. Even now with internet access and all the emulators and where everything is instantly available from GOG or other sources legit or not, it's a never-ending quest.

I have this theory (more like common sense suspicion) that even if someone was able to play games full-time all year around, they would not be able to play every game. Even if they'd limit themselves to games from let's say 1990-2000, it seems impossible. The 4x space strategy games alone would take a lifetime. My new approach to backlog is a Blitzkrieg method where I only play each game as long as I'm having fun, or if I'm not having fun then at the very least for 1-1,5 hours so that I gave it a fair chance and at least basically know what I'm complaining about if I'm going to complain about the game.
That way, I'll be able to check out many games because it's very rare that a game succeeds at providing me with fun entertainment so I'm quitting the majority of games I play before I finish them. I'm finding it quite difficult to find stuff I can enjoy. It's not an oversaturation problem, if I would "take a break" the sentiment would be the exact same upon coming back. Games just aren't as magical to me as they were when I was a teenager but on rare occasions I do discover a game that satisfies me 100%. Defense Grid: The Awakening is such game, just played it a little while ago and couldn't get enough of it. That's an absolute exception though.

It is fun to imagine far out possibilities. But it is not the first time we wish for some cool explanation that turns out to be rendered false by some down to earth, realistic explanation. From the Tenguska event to faster-than-light neutrinos.

I'll give scientists a year to bury this question. If by then they haven't said it was some comet debris passing by, then I'll get my hopes up.
