Red Yorp in Simon the Sorcerer 4 :)

Post by Roobar »

Hey check this out :)

A red :yorp in a task!

Too bad I didn't find any use of it. And you tell me there aren't Keen fans working in developing companies :).

Btw I found this game to be the best adventure for this year yet. Most people don't find this game good, but I'm having great fun with it. I very much like the jokes in it, as well as the backgrounds. The interface is quite good too. Definitely a game in the right direction me thinks.[/img]

Haha, cool! However, not sure if it's meant to be a yorp or whether it just looks similar. Its neck is quite short. But if it is meant to be a Keen reference, nice. :)

That is really cool. But what is this game Simon the Sourcerer 4 and how recent is it?
The Viking II lander actually did land on a 'rock' on Mars.

That looks almost exactly like a yorp... it would actually be weird if it wasn't a reference...
I mean, it's got the eyestalk, the one tooth... even the feet look similar...

Feed don't really resemble those of a Yorp let alone that's missing it's neck. Be careful drawing conclusions about such vague references.
Aaaah, not the bees!

Those images don't load for me. But now I'm curious about the game. I didn't even know there was a Simon 3.

I believe fans of the series prefer not to speak of Simon 3.

Yeah, the 3rd one can easily be in the top 10 worst games for all time.

But consider this: this guy looks scared and that's why his neck is so small. Besides, no one ever mention anything about yorp necks length (which may come a good discussion). And that they can't change their color. Therefore they can ;). Especially those in flasks.

Actually, I thought his neck was just bent so that he could fit in the flask.
