Insecticide | PC | ENG | 219 MB
Genre: Action Adventure | Publisher: Gamecock | Developer: Crackpot Entertainment / Creat Studios
The game was the brainchild of Mike Levine and Larry Ahern, two former and longtime employees of LucasArts best known for their contributions to that company's library of classic graphic adventure titles. They are among many LucasArts adventure alumni, including artists, designers, sound engineers and composers, that comprise the game's team. The LucasArts legacy is clearly evident in Insecticide's detective missions, which are designed as miniature graphic adventures complete with inventory puzzles and dialog trees. Much of the writing and design for these segments of the game are credited to Josh Mandel, veteran of Sierra Entertainment who worked on the King's Quest, Police Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry series among others.
The PC version was to be released as two downloadable episodes with a retail version following soon afterward, but the second episode never materialized due to Gamecock being acquired by SouthPeak Games in 2008 and the latter deciding to cancel the inherited title. "Part 1" had been released by Gamecock through digital distribution channels like Steam, Gametap and Direct2Drive, with Part 2 well into development. Southpeak did, however, publish a retail version of the first episode as part of their "PC Classics" budget line in early 2010.
