My Top 10 Classic Point 'n Click Graphic Adventures - It's a Pixel THING

My Top 10 Classic Point 'n Click Graphic Adventures - It's a Pixel THING - Ep. 113

Point ’n click Graphic Adventures was “the” genre that made me convert myself into a PC gamer by around 1993, due to the dreadful disk swapping of the Amiga versions.
But it was on the Amiga that my own personal experience with the genre started and ended up falling in love for titles like Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade and The Secret of Monkey Island!

Let’s take a look at my 10 all-time Classics!

Enjoy!

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) PC/Amiga Review

For the PC I’ve recently purchased this game through Steam, but I’ve also got the Amiga’s Kixx XL 1992 floppy re-release of this awesome title.
Inside a pretty looking big box, there’s the three floppy disks, a folded manual that includes, besides all basic info, the Translation Table that is simply the copy protection codes that are asked when you start the game. Also inside comes a Kixx XL complete catalogue of their re-releases back in 1992. And, finally, the crown jewel: Dr. Henry Jones diary, like the one we see in the movie. I haven’t read it yet, but I believe that it’s filled with interesting stuff. It has hand drawings, sketches, newspaper pieces, letters and even the map showing the canyon of the crescent moon! It looks like it was written by hand. It’s just amazing the awesome stuff that used to come inside these big boxes back in the day.

Manual de Truques & Dicas para o Nissan Qashqai

Há pequenos truques e dicas que dispensam uma deslocação à oficina ou a fatigante pesquisa no extenso manual do proprietário do Nissan Qashqai.

Esporadicamente, e sabe-se lá porquê, o vidro do condutor deixa de subir automaticamente; o trancamento das portas, quando se circula acima dos 20 km/h, está desactivado; o avisador do air-bag (nos modelos onde este se encontra na consola central) fica com um funcionamento estranho; etc.

Podem obter as respostas a estes e outros, por vezes, irritantes "problemas" consultando o Manual de Dicas úteis para proprietários de um Nissan Qashqai:

Sistema Nissan Connect num Qashqai de 2008

Para quem possui um Nissan Qashqai dos anos de 2007 e 2008 com um tradicional leitor de seis Compact Disc, poderá substituí-lo por um sistema atual e bastante completo.
Graficamente, o Connect não é muito atrativo e a qualidade sonora poderia ser melhor, mas é uma grande evolução face aos antiquados leitores de CD sem reprodução MP3, como é o caso do equipamento de origem nos modelos dos anos aqui em discussão.

Após alguma investigação e pesquisa, optei, então, por me aventurar no mundo dos Sistemas de Navegação e Multimédia Connect da Nissan, abandonando o Pioneer AVIC-F700BT já aqui anteriormente analisado.
