Three Clues - Who Am I?

[notbobsmith]

Are you in a game with a non-Earth fantasy setting (King's Quest, Quest for Glory)?

[Rath Darkblade]

Tawm ... whoops, sorry. Here's the clue:

Play your cards right (or wrong), and you might get a kiss.

(Is that good or bad? Gee, I'unno. That's up to you to figure out)

NBS ... no, sorry.

[notbobsmith]

Are you in a game that takes place on Earth?

[Tawmis]

Wait.

So we ruled out Quest for Glory?

And Rath is running it this time?

I think something's broken.

And winning the kiss - you might think it's Leisure Suit Larry - but are you in Freddy Pharkas?

[notbobsmith]

Wait.

And winning the kiss - you might think it's Leisure Suit Larry - but are you in Freddy Pharkas?

Remember, it is in a "Quest" game.

[Rath Darkblade]

NBS ... nope, I am not on earth.

Tawm ... sorry, nope. I'm not anywhere in Freddy Pharkas. And that makes me (saddle)sore.

[notbobsmith]

Are you in a Space Quest game?

[Tawmis]

Oh, shoot. Forgot the Quest thing.

So ... thinking of kissing...

There's no George in it, so I am not sure if that's an actual clue?
Are you the alien ("Xenomorph") who tries to kiss Roger Wilco in Space Quest 2?

I am near others like me - She's by other aliens
But I am unlike them all - She's different than the other (visible) aliens - like the monkey hands that can bat Roger
I will call you George - I am assuming you're being cute, and saying she'd call Roger George (after the baby bursts out of his chest) or because in SQII, you can still pick a different name other than Roger Wilco...

[Rath Darkblade]

NBS ... yes.

Tawm ... yes! But not for the reason you thought.

I am near others like me - She's in jail next to other aliens
But I am unlike them all - She's different than the other (visible) aliens
I will call you George - nope ... I was referring to this (as well as "Mice and Men", where this whole bit comes from).

I'm also surprised that Sierra didn't get in legal trouble about putting a Xenomorph in SQ2. Aren't those things copyright?

Anyway, your turn, Tawm!

I knew where the reference of "I will call you George" comes from - but I thought it was maybe a clue (like St. George's, and I think there's a guy named George in Freddy, I need to replay that for my channel after GK)

Parody law, probably. Because look at the Xenomorph's lips - and in the game she kisses you. That's now how it actually works in the ALIEN movie franchise.

I will think of something.

[Rath Darkblade]

Ah, OK. I haven't actually seen the ALIEN movies (those Xenomorph things creep me out, disgust me, and horrify me, all at once -- which I guess is the point?)... but yeah, I doubt they would kiss anyone.

IIRC, if Roger allows himself to be kissed in SQ2, he later falls victim to a "Chestburster" - that thing's copyright to the ALIEN movies too, isn't it? Although, hold on - in Space Quest 5, Roger comes across a "Facehugger" (seen here: https://spacequest.fandom.com/wiki/Face_hugger), and called it "Spike" ... and got it from a woman called "Wriggley" (aka Ellen Ripley). Eh ... lots of references to ALIEN!

Yup, they chest burst in both.

I think because Alien was such a popular franchise a lot of companies dipped into it.

Marvel even made their own version called "The Brood" (or affectionately called "Sleazoids")...

They didn't chest burst, but the Queen lays an egg inside of you, and you become a Brood, and if you have powers (say like the X-Men) the Brood adapts those powers.

[Rath Darkblade]

*looks at the picture; shudders* Uggh! As if the Chestburster things weren't creepy and horrifying enough. This is even creepier. (It's like that alien thing is copying her on purpose, like a little kid. I can see why they were called "Sleazoids". Just as well these things never tried to copy Leisure Suit Larry. One Larry is enough.)

Imagine hundreds - or thousands? - of these things walking around, in the present day, all wearing white leisure suits and gold medallions, and trying to use terrible lines to "pick up" women.

Oh, wait ...

[Tawmis]

Oh shoot, this is still waiting on me...

[Tawmis]

I am made of what everyone desires
Or am I lyin'?
Some might see me as a snake.
