I’ve already posted enough games for this weeks postings so am going to post next weeks games early. I’ve got several point & click adventure games to post plus some physics based games. I rarely post Point & Click adventure games (though I have posted some excellent ones over the past year, such as some for the Christmas specials back in 2008), so though I’d feature some of the many games created by the free game creator Adventure Game Studio. If you fancy having a go at creating your own adventures you can download the game engine from HERE; however I’m not sure whether the program works on the Win 7 platform yet (I’ll check when I’ve installed my copy of Win 7, which I’ve had for over a month now. I want to get a new hard drive before I install it)
The first of my offerings today are by the author Francisco Gonzalez who has kindly released seven episodes to his adventures of Ben Jordan, paranormal investigator. I’ll be posting more AGS (Adventure Game Studio created games later today
There’s seven case files to complete the set of Ben Jordan games, and another one in production called Case 8: Relics of the Past. . You can download them all HERE, apart from Case 8. The link for Case File 3 appears to be broken at this time; however you can also download each one from the authors site:
Case 1: In Search of the Skunk ape (36.3Mb)
Ben's first case finds him in the Florida Everglades, looking for something known as "The Skunk-Ape" which is said to be a local variation on Bigfoot. The Skunk-Ape got its name because of its horrible smell, described as a mixture of moldy cheese, rotten eggs, and dung.
Several park rangers have been murdered, and so Ben is called in to investigate the possibility that the Skunk-Ape is involved. Help him survive long enough to solve his first case!
The Deluxe Edition features improved graphics, extended storyline, and full voice acting and lip-synch.

Ben is called out to the tiny desert town of Dunesberg, California, to investigate the disappearance of a local man who went out searching for the Lost Galleon, a Spanish treasure ship said to be located somewhere beneath the sands.
