What's Your Story? - Jean-Jacques
While I prepare myself (mentally that is) for Emmanuelle, it seems an opportune time to highlight another one of our adventure game loving readers. This time it's the globe trotting Jean-Jacques, which is apt really given his French origins.
My home country is… France, but currently in Cameroon..after Vietnam, Kenya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia
My age is… 36
The first adventure game I played was… The Colonel's Bequest (Sierra). I've spent days and nights exploring the different areas, talking to everybody.. I just fell in love with Sierra-on-line. It was just wonderful, even in CGA color and with the internal buzzer as "music". I was living in Nigeria at that time with no shops and few peopple interested in adventure games. An ---expensive--- Sierra game had to last six months between each round trip to France.
My favourite adventure game is… Hero's Quest - So you want to be a Hero? The 2nd Sierra game after Colonel's Bequest. I always remember the 1st sequence when the hero "me!" enters Spielburg. "The colors, the music, RPG!!!!". I played this game over and over again. The VGA version is well done, but the EGA is better!
When I’m not playing games I like to… I travel a lot, but always with books! Sci Fi and Fantasy. A least 1 book per week.
The one TV show I never miss is… Dexter
I like my games in (a box, digital format)… Now, I'd say Digital..but when I was younger, the boxes (Sierra, LucasFilm Games) were just impossible to miss in my room. "You see?? I've got Space Quest IV !!!"
The thing I miss about old games is… Plenty of colors, jokes, story, hint books, small size (no need to insert any DVD each time you wish to play). And "Fun" above all..There was also some kind of close relationship with the game designers: The Guys from Andromeda, the Coles, Al Lowe, Roberta Williams, Ron Gilbert, Chris Roberts, Lord British etc..
If I could see any band live it would be… P!nk...I'm not a teenage girl but..I just like her shows
The best thing about modern games is… ...advanced graphics? I don't know. The new games I play are old fashion "point and click": Resonance etc..
My favourite movie is… A L I E N S
One interesting thing about me is… That I look like Roger Wilco
Hmmm...I recognise you Jean-Jacques, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

The Colonel's Bequest: There's been a lot of talk about this game recently. It's not far away on the list!

This show is amazing. Not entirely convincing, but amazing nonetheless!

It wouldn't be my first choice, but I'm sure P!nk's shows are pretty entertaining

Is that self proclaimed or did someone stop you in the street one day and say "heeeeyyyy...you look like that guy from Space Quest! What's his name?"
