Synopsis
Klownstein wrote: You are Frobo Baddins, a small hoddit living with his uncle, Uncle Bildo. For the past several years you have lived with your insane Uncle Bildo in his home, a large hoddit hole named Old Bag. Uncle Bildo is planning on celebrating his birthday and has enlisted you to get invitations printed, a birthday banner sewn, a birthday cake baked, and some fireworks purchased. And so your quest begins!
About
Klownstein wrote: The Gourd of the Beans Series was developed in the classic Sierra style. Designed as an AGI (Adventure Game Interpreter) program, it is, in a very real sense, like its 80's predecessors. Originally the intent was to make the game such that it would run in the original interpreter. However, being a perfectionist, the pictures and sprites became more and more detailed, soon surpassing those in the original Sierra games. The detailed work soon exceeded the memory limitations inherent to AGI games. As such, the game, while still an AGI game, requires a more modern program to run. Such programs, like NAGI and ScummVM, are freely available for download on the internet.
This original release included the original vision for the town of Hodditon. This is the version just prior to being adopted by the new team, Jolly Roger Epic Productions, which finished the game as The Gourd of the Beans: An Unplanned Adventure.
