20+ 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.
Countdown 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.

If you're looking for a localisation partner, this should be your first call (email). We've worked with them on all of our games, and they're simply the best.
No 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...

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!

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.

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.

Quelle triste trajectoire. Pendulo y a 25 ans c'était pour moi un studio de héros.
Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Blacksad: Under the Skin) aurait définitivement fermé en mars 2025.
Le studio espagnol avait licencié la moitié de ses effectifs en mars 2024 après la sortie compliquée du Tintin Reporter : Les Cigares du Pharaon pour Microids.

A brilliant and surprisingly deep puzzle game, with tons of options to adjust gameplay to your preferences, from fast and furious to a more reflection-oriented experience. An impressive amount of content has been added since its release in 2021, well worth checking out even if you tried it before.

A 'Little Big Adventure 2 Remake' is in development but Microids had a change in their publishing strategy and backed out. The studio is planning to selfpublish the game and asks for support (Ko-Fi, Investor, monthly support) to make it happen.
