The other one look like it was supposed to be a reference to Space Quest. It uses the same font, but someone is blocking the title "___RICK ____STON". I'm not sure what that is supposed to be.

Ah. I didn't go back to check.

So I just finished. And it was... fine I guess. It does rely on nostalgia quite a bit. The sight gags are cute and you could tell that this was a labor of love, but I think there are a few places where it could use some polish. Towards the end where you on the destroyed catwalk, I really had no idea what to do. The "eye" icon was disabled. No feedback at all from anything I did. I'm not sure how I got past it. I just clicked a couple of times and... climbed an invisible ladder?

Nice! I've not even collected all 22!

Isn't one of them completing the Cluck Yeggar segment?

Normal resolutions might not matter. Remember, games can alter resolutions to what they need and switch back to your default when it exits. Some, even AGS games, might offer a range that can be be selected in the game's settings.

For SpaceVenture it does - for example, if your monitor is larger than 1920x1080 resolution - it does weird things with the graphics.
But ironically, I am currently testing something for them... that...

My monitor is 1920x1080 in case that matters. I misread the request and gave the refresh rate instead.

... cool, 1920x1080 is the default.

But before I mentioned, I'd be testing the np FPS cap - well, the title of this version also mentions VSYNC (I don't see a way to enable it, but it has VSYNC in there) - the removal of fps - makes them game move very smoothly...! Which is pretty nice. (Like, feels more real, smoothly is what I mean)...

I barely downloaded this test version this morning (had a D&D game to run) - so I've only just gotten inside the ship and working on vents. But it's nice(r).

So hopefully when this version is fully tested and released, it fixes whatever tearing you saw.

(Can ye tell me where you saw it? I'd like to keep an eye on it - I've, in my kajillion play throughs of this - not seen any tearing!)
