Re: Undiscovered Easter Eggs / Secrets?

Cool, thanks!

I know this is rather belated, but could you share any further hints as to whom this person might be?

Quest for Glory II demo

So I was browsing the ScummVM Game Demos section and found some early non-interactive demos Sierra put out for Hero's Quest I and Quest for Glory II . The Quest for Glory II demo is really interesting, having a lot of alternate and early graphics. Here's a selection of its more notable screens, comp...

Re: New Gabriel Knight Project?

As I said on the Telltale forums, I think the title (judging from the photos) is Pocketful of Roses--a reference to this old children's rhyme.

From what I've heard you also have to carry a cleaning implement when you reach the end. Perhaps one taken from a nautical environment.

Daventry the Wasteland

So one thing I've noticed is that in KQ3 Redux, Daventry is FAR more devastated than it seemed in the original KQ3 or IA's remake. It's basically a lifeless, rocky, desert wasteland that's on fire. Pretty much Hell on Earth. I wonder what made you guys decide to depict its misfortunes in such an ext...

Re: code

If you read the book you found, you should've got the answer. Reading the book is done by clicking the hand cursor on the book from the inventory view. It took me some time to figure this out, as I expected the eye icon would let me read the book. In KQ6 you had to use the HAND cursor to read a boo...

I just want to go on record that I don't have a problem with the green pinball. I realize it's an unlikely deus ex machina, but it really does help explain Daventry's restoration in KQ5. My opinion is that the concept works, but the execution not so much. I think I would have preferred a more mysti...

That's not the point that I'm missing. What do you mean "spy on the bandits"? You need to go where they hang out in a way they can't see you. You can hear them talk about the hideout. Isn't that required to win, because you can't get to the hideout until you hear that conversation? No. Yo...

Re: KQ3 Redux suddenly a 'security risk'?

Are you using Norton Antivirus? I had this same problem. A good workaround for Norton is this: Try to start KQ3 using the game launcher icon. When Norton tells you it's deleted the file, click on its message to get more details. Note down the path at which the KQ3 autorun.exe file is generated. This...

Au contraire. Think back to Kq5, standing before the witch in the Dark Forest. You need to select the genie bottle and present it to the witch. She opens the bottle, and gets trapped inside for a thousand years. The Dark Forest is liberated! Yay! But what happens if you accidentally click the hand ...

Re: Music spell assistance

The crucial point, though, was not that AGDI designed its inventory interface differently than Sierra (which it didn't, as has been shown). Rather, some people perceived (and it's their opinion, not a statement of fact) that the deaths in KQ3 Redux spellcasting that result from clicking the hand on ...

I always found it funny that in KQ5 Alexander is basically wearing Graham's outfit, just with a palette swap and minus the feathered blue cap. No wonder they chose to get a different costume for him in KQ6. Interesting that there, he's basically wearing a variant of an Elizabethan-style men's double...

Again, though, when have you ever used the hand icon to "pick up" an item already in your inventory in a past Sierra game? I can understand that the death thing gets annoying...but the spellmaking process is supposed to be touchy and I can't really get past mixing up the arrow selector an...

I voted for KQ4, SQ3, and Conquests of Camelot. Though I must say, I think even the fabulous JP Selwood would face a challenge in recreating the Camelot backgrounds. That game had some STUNNING dithering work!

In comparison, Alexander sounded very youthful, but just the voices made the twins seem years apart i...

Awesome photo, Navy! Neat, I hope the Restore/Play/Help (etc.) buttons remain on the main screen. I think that is a little cleaner than the KQ2+ method of showing the intro screen and then jumping to another screen. Totally agree! I felt the same way. When we were working on the game, I really want...
