              About Us

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Believe it or not, in addition to a handful of movies, we're also responsible for a couple of homemade computer games.  When we're not gallavanting
around as Ridgway Films, we sail under the banner of Demented Games.  We started making really amateurish, bad games in 2000 with the software known
as Klik 'n' Play, and over the years, our games have become slightly better.   So what are you waiting for?  Browse our extensive game library below!  Do it now!


NOTE
You'll need 7-Zip to access the compressed format of the games.  Download it here.

Full Moon
In this point-n-click game, you play Andy Q. Nobody, a nerd living on an island of undisclosed location, doing battle with government agencies, ugly maids, slippery floors, numerous pratfalls, and insomnia, all on his quest to stop a mad doctor planning to put the world to sleep.  Full Moon is one of our more recently completed games, even though it's been in development off and on since 2004.  But it's finally been finished for your adventure gaming pleasure!

A Series of Unfortunate Events:  The Bad Beginning

A meticulous recreation of the first book in Lemony Snicket's infamous book series in point-n-click adventure game form.  For the uninitiated, the story is about the Baudeliare orphans - Violet, Klaus, and Sunny - as they try to repeatedly escape
the murderous intentions of their new guardian, Count Olaf.  It's also one of our most
polished adventure games to date.  Definitely worth a look!

Commander Keen in:  Holiday Hijinx!

This is a Christmas episode of Commander Keen that I made for release in Christmas 2004, though it wasn't released until early 2005.  Commander Keen must rescue Santa Claus and reclaim his stolen Christmas presents.  For some reason, everyone hated this game when it came out.  But don't let that deter you, naive Internet person!  Download with all speed!

Based on the short story "Sam & Max Interrogate a Secret Agent"
Sam & Max: Flintlocked! (R.I.P. 2004-2007)
A mere three days after LucasArts's much-bemoaned cancellation of Sam & Max Freelance Police in 2004, a team of angry but dedicated fans (including myself) began to assemble themselves into a development team that envisioned a massive fan-made sequel to the original Sam & Max game.  Unfortunately, the project, which ultimately became known as Sam & Max: Flintlocked!, came to more or less of a complete halt when Telltale Games announced production of their own Sam & Max Season One.  While we initially saw no problem with two competing Sam & Max games coming out, we began to lose heart when Telltale started releasing their episodes.  We noticed several major scenarios and puzzles from our game that were incidentally also appearing in Telltale's games (for instance, the climax of Part 1 in Flintlocked was going to center around Sam & Max invading a TV studio and hijacking a "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" rip-off, and a large part of Part 3 was going to take place on the moon).  Realizing no one was going to believe us when we claimed we had the ideas first, the team members more or less stopped checking the discussion boards, and the project was more or less scrapped.  This was probably a good thing in the long run, however, as I feel that Telltale Games has succeeded with the unique Sam & Max brand of humor far more than we ever could've hoped to.

So why bother putting this long history on this page if the project got canned years ago?  Well, take heart, simple adventure gamer - the unfinished, six-room beta, as well as the original SLUDGE source code and design documents - have been released for public viewing at last.  You'll need SLUDGE installed to mess with the files, but you don't need anything for playing the beta itself (except for a computer and mouse, obviously).  Enjoy!

Goodbye Monkey Island (2004)

This is the epic semi-sequel to Day of the Alien:  Tentacles Ate My Babysitter!  The events take place shortly after the end of Day of the Alien, but in this game, Keen finds himself transported to the Monkey Island universe.  Though I considered it cutting-edge back when I made it, it's actually a little buggy and not terribly spectacular.  If you can deal with the bugs and haven't got anything better to do, I'd recommend it.
Chapter One:  The Secret Revealed or Your Money Back
Chapter Two:  Enter the Football Helmet
Chapter Three:  Looking for Loot
  Chapter Four:  LeChuck's Fortress DLX
Chapter Five:  Me, Myself, and Guybrush
Chapter Six:  Guybrush Kicks Robot

Day of the Alien


Day of the Alien:  Tentacles Ate My Babysitter! (2002)

This is a pretty old game I made way back in 2002.  It all started when I asked myself, "What if Commander Keen entered the universe of Day of the Tentacle?"  The result speaks for itself.

Maniac Mars


Maniac Mars (2002)

In the same way the original Maniac Mansion was bundled with Day of the Tentacle as an easter egg, I bundled this Commander Keen / Maniac Mansion crossover game with Day of the Alien.  In this, Commander Keen must enter a foreboding mansion to find his missing ship part to escape Mars.  I honestly don't remember much about this game, but try it out if you're really bored.

Glad you asked!  Here are links to the software that we use to make these games.

SLUDGE

3D Game Studio
Used to make:  Keen Dreams 3D
Good for:  3D games of all kinds, predisposed for first-person shooters.
