Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 25/09/2026After all these years, I still have my original PC box, along with those of a few sequels. 130
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Wondering if I shouldn't be on this list too, to be honest... 😅 (this is only a small part of my big box collection, namely Sierra large format from the mid 90s). 110
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Va falloir dépoussiérer ça, alors. (Et acheter tous ceux qui manquent...) 110
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Merci pour le test et le commentaire sur la localisation. 😀 050
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 31/08/2026That's the only GTA that I ever played. 😂 Still have the boxed version by the way. It was a very innovative game, but I lost interest when it switched to more realistic graphics. 120
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 14/08/2026De mon côté, je n'ai jamais jeté les miennes (au grand désespoir de ma famille...). En voici une petite partie, notamment ma collection de big boxes Sierra et quelques point & clicks. En revanche, je n'ai pas des masses des jeux console. 110
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Le premier épisode est souvent disponible en promo pour une bouchée de pain, il suffit de guetter un peu. Le second vient de sortir et profite d'ailleurs d'une jolie édition physique au Japon. 110
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 24/07/2026FREE WEEKEND starts now! 🚂 There's never been a better time to get you and your crew on board with Unrailed 2: Back on Track. store.steampowered.com/app/2211170/...

Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 26/06/2026My video game collection is a bit all over the place, so hard to make it fit on a single picture. However, here is my Sierra big boxes shelf. 000
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Bel article sur Mina the Hollower de @yachtclubgames.bsky.social (et merci pour le mot gentil sur la traduction !) 241
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 03/06/2026OK, maybe I idled it a few hours, but I did spend quite a bit of time on Mina the Hollower... You can buy the game here: www.gog.com/fr/game/mina... or here: www.humblebundle.com/store/mina-t... or here of course: store.steampowered.com/app/1875580/... 020
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Let's also mention the 8-4 team, who provided the Japanese translation! They've been @yachtclubgames.bsky.social loca partner for Japanese since the very start, too! 110
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Mina the Hollower, by @yachtclubgames.bsky.social, is now available! Translators are of course credited, and most of them have been working with us since the very first Shovel Knight! Thanks again for their patience, their enthousiasm, and their creativity on this project! 162
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 22/05/2026I'd like to bring @unrailed.bsky.social back to Bluesky, but with only 52 followers, I can understand why they lack motivation. 😅 I know there's a strong community of indie gamers here, so if you like cute family-friendly coop games, please follow them, pass the word around and give them some love! 010
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Unrailed 2: Back on Track 1.0 launches on June 11th for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 plus Steam in French, German, Italian, Spanish, LatAm Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. 110

Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 29/04/2026Ah c'est bizarre, le filtre de langue ne m'indique que "Toutes les langues" et "Vos langues", ce qui est moins utile, sans indiquer le détail. Merci pour la réponse en tout cas ! 200
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 04/12/2025The art direction and the voice-acting are brilliant, vividly bringing this weird little town to life, and... #TranslatorsInTheCredits! 000
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Hidden Runaway was the missing piece of my Pendulo collection (I had no idea that a boxed version had been released in Germany...), and now I have it thanks to my good friend Josué Monchan! Yes, we did translate this one into French too! 😀 021
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-1 Reading material ready for the train journey. I hope it won't be too intellectual. Maybe @misterabk.bsky.social the Great will sign it for me? 🥰 020
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 20/11/2025I backed a few more physical editions, then switched to digital rewards, then slowly stopped caring, sadly... I'm still waiting for some game backed 10 years ago, but at least ASYLUM by @agustin.me and @senscape.net was released, and we got the chance to localize it into French too! 010
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 20/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-2 I had high expectations and a lot of enthusiasm for Kickstarter initially, but that fizzled out quickly. Physical rewards are always very expensive, and while I do not regret backing some projects, quite a few have been... disappointing. Fool me once... 110
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-3 One could say I'm biased toward Sierra (guilty as charged...), but I do love my LucasArts, Cyan and Revolution Software games. It was great to meet Tim Schafer and to have him sign my copy of Grim Fandango. I also have an Italian version that was gifted by a friend. 🥰 010
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-4 I've always been a PC gamer first and foremost, but these days, you often need to turn to consoles to get boxed editions of adventure games. It's a bit sad in a way, but also heartwarming to see the spirit of point-and-click games live on on modern consoles. 020
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Dustborn (2024) by @redthreadgames.bsky.social - The physical deluxe edition included a map, though it was more cosmetic than actually useful during gameplay. 010
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-5 Ragnar Tørnquist may be controversial, but he is one of the most singular voices in the adventure game genre. I've been a fan since The Longest Journey, and even had my copy signed during Journeycon in Oslo. I'm so proud to have worked on Red Thread Games last three games. 011
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 16/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-6 When I started working there, there was not a lot of love for Sierra's old catalog at Coktel, some older employees still resenting the recent merger. I soon became known as the "archivist", the person to go to when there was a question about legacy Sierra titles. 042
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-7 With the switch to drab DVD boxes, I lost a bit of interest in collecting boxed games, and some of the adventure games released in the 00s felt a big... generic (or maybe they just lacked a decent budget). But point & clicks were not dead yet! 011
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-8 To those who fell along the way... E. Gore was a comedy-horror p&c pitched at Sierra in 95. The pitch document shows the Sierra/LucasArts rivalry was very real. The Devil's Men by Kevin Mentz was cancelled by Daedalic in 2018. All that's left of it is this superb artbook. 210
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 13/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-9 I sadly never had the chance to meet Jane Jensen, but I hold on to a few rare keepsakes, including GK mouse pads, a GK3 design bible, some concept drawings and official Sierra magazines (who remembers Interaction and its French equivalent Multimedia News?). 140
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 12/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-10 Early 1996, I was sent to Sierra's historic HQ to do some LQA. Most of the designers and artists had moved to Seatle, and only a few teams where still working in the Oakhurst office (Lighthouse, the cancelled Babylon 5 game). So many legendary games were created there... 020
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-11 While Sierra games make up a large part of my collection, I got a bit obsessed with all types of adventure games in the 90s, from classic to obscure, from Myst-likes to FMV. Some were better than others, but all had their own charm and quirks. Here are a few examples. 020
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 10/11/2025That's my current one, and it has been for a good while now... 110
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 10/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-12 From their very first game published in France to (most likely) their very last, we localized all Pendulo Studios games into French, and took care of casting and recording French voice-overs. I couldn't be more proud to have work with these guys. What a ride it's been! 022
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 09/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-13 There were many great designers at Sierra, but my favorite is Jane Jensen. I was involved indirectly with GK2 and GK3 while working at Sierra, but localizing Gray Matter is one of the highlights of my carreer. I still have that card game decorating my desk to this day. 021
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Countdown to #AdvX25 - D-14 On the first day of my first job ever: I was sat in front of a computer at Coktel-Sierra's office with a game on which I had to do some QA. That game was the French version of Space Quest VI. Not a bad start... I still have some nice goodies. 120
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Not only will I be there, but I will be in the company of the wonderful Josué Monchan, lead writer on most Pendulo Studio games. 010
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 07/11/2025In two weeks' time, I will be attending AdventureX for the first time ever! 🥰 If anybody wants to hear me ramble about my fairly extensive adventure games collection, my days working at Sierra or how fun it is to translate adventure games, do not hesitate to get in touch! #AdvX25 120
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 04/11/2025No idea why that took us so long, but our website has just been updated with the main titles that we worked on during the last couple of years. Quite a nice and varied selection, if I may say so... www.wordsofmagic.com/en/games 032
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Bien sûr, je vous conseille de faire comme moi et de lire les excellents Tokyo Mystery Café si ce n'est pas déjà fait. Deux tomes sont désormais disponibles. 020
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Le Steam Néo Fest est l'occasion de découvrir la démo de The Doll Shop, le jeu d'@ateliersento.bsky.social. Si vous aimez la BD, le Japon, les point & clicks, les visual novels, n'hésitez pas à télécharger, wishlister, partager. La démo est courte (une petite demi-heure) et disponible en français. 120
Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 12/08/2025Couldn't be happier to be part of this project, which is not only beyond adorable, but also a very personnal game for @juliaprokhorova.bsky.social, thanks for the wonderful team at @daedalic.bsky.social. 261

Words of Magic @wordsofmagic.bsky.social · 29/01/202520+ years of work on a single picture... All these games, we translated into French with our little fingers. Still, many are not pictured here. Thanks to all the devs and publishers who trusted us over the years. 3123
