When they found out what the Stinkers were up to, they probably assumed we were evil and therefore were too afraid to try and reason with us.

Well, time to start talking about what the Glyphs are made of;

The fire one is made of rotted ketchup, and moldy pepperoni's

The floing one is the opera browser symbol slapped on a cherio

The acid one is some weeds from poosty's garden

the sundog one is just blue ice cream

the home glyph is killed, baby rainbow stars, smashed together
OH GOD. :mrgreen:

I'm convinced Glyphs have much more meaning than you might think.

Volcano glyph is a bit weird, but my theory is that it looks a bit like a crowbar, and considering the colour of the glyph (orange fire-like), it could represent hot temperatures melting metal. Fitting, considering it brings you to a volcano.

Floing glyph is definitely an Omega symbol. I'm not very advanced in this so I'm not sure what it's supposed to represent, but I think it's definitely time-related. Considering it represents the end, it's likely.

Acid glyph is without any doubt a cactus. Not sure why would there be a cactus in acid swamps, but okay.

Sundog glyph is pretty obvious, and is the Buddhist symbol for auspiciousness. Once again, I suck at this so I'm not going to give any theories on this. Though I noticed the greek letter Phi is present as well.

And the Home glyph is self-explanatory, and is simply a key.

These are just my thoughts. But I think that someone who understands philosophy better than I do can figure out better what they could represent.

Where did the enemies receive their names? I mean, Spikeyballs, Fireflowers, Chompers, and the like I can understand, but how did Z-bots come to be called Z-bots? There are Moo-bots and such in WA3, but were there previously Y-Bots? X-Bots? What about Scritters? And what was the point of reference for Dragonturtles? Did dragons once exist?

I'm coming up to the end of TOW, and I still don't know which game comes next, despite being here for over a year (wow).
The timeline, as far as I can remember, is:
Wonderland (2001)
Return to Wonderland/Wonderland Secret Worlds (which order and when?????)
Wonderland Adventures (2009)
Mysteries of Fire Island (2011)
Planet of the Z-Bots (2013)

Please help me with the order of RTW/WSW, and any release dates that I've missed out or got wrong. I know there's not a lot of story in the classic trilogy, but I still want to play them in the correct order.

I don't remember the exact release dates but basically:
After Wonderland, Return to Wonderland was released. The next bit is confusing because I do not know which came first, but I think it was RTW Deluxe Edition, then Wonderland Secret Worlds. After that RTW Platinum Edition was released.

Yeah, the expansions for RTW make it confusing.

I enjoy the idea that Star Wars is Wonderland... and Wonderland is Star Wars. They're parallel universes with very little in common, actually... but Obi-Wan/Oobiban is one thing that unites them. :wink:
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.

If you post a message very soon after your last, in the same topic, which merely adds to your previous post rather than discussing something different, we call that a double post. This is discouraged, try editing a message instead to add more information.
A double post is acceptable if it has been some time between both posts (think in terms of days).

I don't understand your latest post, what exactly do you mean?

Bump.

Release Date Confusion

Post by Oats » Tue Jun 06, 2017 3:40 pm

I'm pretty certain the original Wonderland was 2002, was it not? I specifically remember saying this year was the 15th anniversary.
