Hi all,

 Ars Technica has been doing a great feature about graphic adventures, one of my favorite genres.

http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2011/01/history-of-graphic-adventu...

Have to say didn't know half the history they put up there.

While in FOSS it would be just the popcon this is in commercial world.

By popcon or popularity-contest I mean this http://popcon.debian.org/

There are similar tools in almost all debian-distributions, just the name differ.

Just adding stuff here instead of making another thread. 

Was browsing and came across this game creation society - an arm of Carnegie Mellon University dedicated for games. http://www.gamecreation.org/games

Many of the games are made for Windows and GNU/Linux as well. Although how much of it is *open* would be debatable. 

Btw does anybody of good breakout clones ?
