Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment

Post by eMTe »

From Underdogs:

"Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment is one of the best freeware adventure games ever made, period. Aside from superb humor, entertaining plot, and fun puzzles, Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw has succeeded in melding cross-genre elements that made games like Star Control so endearing. GFW is the first freeware adventure game in memory that can truly be called a "space opera" in the best sense of Star Control: you will explore one small but well-populated corner of the universe, trade goods between star systems to make money, update your weapons and other spacecraft systems, fight other spacecrafts in cool space battles (albeit with a simplistic interface), survive or play a number of arcade sequences or mini-games - all this while solving traditional inventory-based puzzles. What more can you ask for in a game?"

And we already host this as well. :D http://curlysworldoffreeware.com/game_i ... ?gameid=12

I see that the validators were Ogre, Monteque and Pitkin. They're no the people we see most often any longer, so I'll give it a spin, and see if I can provide a solution.

Have you tried pressing "ESC" ? Should be a fine menu there.
