You can never screw around with people too much in a Space Quest game.

You guys are a real pant load.

That has been in Windows for the past few versions.

To be fair to Kosh, he mostly goes after stuff I am not interested, like all of the Japanese releases.

I only want one decent boxed copy of each. While I do want all of the variants for adding support for as many different release versions to my installers, but a copy of the media alone is good enough for that. In some cases just an unaltered digital copy will do.

Much of my desire for physical copies has more to do with a desire for preservation than the typical "collectables" lust of many so called collectors that might as well be into collecting plates or something equally silly. It drives up the price for the preservationist and the true fans that just want the games. At least GOG helps with the latter.

The only way it could have been worse is if they had a first-person shot looking down the point of the arrow as Graham aimed the bow.  ;)

Ahem...

As someone in one of the Sierra Facebook groups said, it is an odd choice as "adventure gamers don't want a platformer, and platformer fans don't give a rats ass about kings quest". I agree. And they already tried to add action to KQ in MoE and we know how well that worked out.

Even the Sierra Facebook Sierra groups have become rife with idiots and rude asses. At least the SHP forums have remained civil, even if it is not as busy as it once was.


Indeed. The attached is a PM I received in response to a thread about King's Quest II where I said it wasn't ground breaking and was the weakest in the series, although I liked it anyway. That was literally my first post on Sierra Gamers FB page in about six months.

I remember that idiot. Then there are the fake accounts like "Goofstain" and all of the other 'stains that troll Sierra Gamers. Not sure why Rudy does not boot them. It is like dealing with a place overrun by teens hiding behind the anonymity of the internet who have learned no social graces.

The 3.0 version of KQ3 would have had all new backgrounds and most of the sprites overhauled as well as a more "Freddy Pharkas" style of spell creation. But the days of free remakes are past now unfortunately, I think the effort people put into something like that should be rewarded and I wouldn't do another remake unless I was given a good budget to do it.

Regrettable, but perfectly understandable. Sometimes people don't realize the amount of work that go into many of the free projects the they feel they are entitled to have.

Facebook et al have devastated so many forums. There are only a couple of forums from the Sierra communities that are still active and even those see less that they had at one time. Pity, since it far easier to have a real discussion on a proper forum.

Just like all of my installers. In case you didn't know, I do have some internet fame for my installers and patches. I am the one who did the installers for QFI and the demos.

urmm

win 95/98 runs on dos mate..

As I said, 9x used DOS to bootstrap the OS. It did not run out of it.
Quote from: MSDN
MS-DOS served two purposes in Windows 95.
  • It served as the boot loader.
  • It acted as the 16-bit legacy device driver layer.

Graphics aren't as good as a regular windows installed game, but still pretty good.

It is the same graphics as the original Any differences you might notice have more to do with the differences between your current system than the one you had when the game was new. Perhaps you had a smaller monitor back then?

The "Quest For Glory 5.exe" is just a launcher I wrote and included for a number of reasons including to use a higher res icon without further editing the game's main EXE even more than what I already had.

As to the GOG package, it is nearly the same as what you will get using my installers since I was the one who designed their QfG package. And like my QfG5 installer, it includes my fix for the QuickTime lockups.
