You may see it differently, but I think that's one of DOTT's (and Maniac Mansion's) strengths, not a weakness.

Eh? To send an item, you click "Give", click the item, then click the picture of the person you want to send it to. Doesn't get much simpler than that.

- DOTT: DOTT is really reallly full of ILLOGICAL puzzles to the extreme. Who would think of washing our car will actually cause a rain/lighting?!?!? Who would think of painting the tree to RED will fool Washinton to chop the tree down?!? These are actually both logical. Painting the tree red makes ...

Except that the leap of faith in Indiana Jones still works even if you don't have any faith.

You can untie Rosella with your hands. That's what I've always done.

This actually makes it seem less likely. That would be the type of jedi mind trick that I would play if I were in their position. Perhaps...or perhaps the devs, knowing you would think that way, decided to put something there after all. However, knowing that we would know that they would know that ...

I haven't seen these mentioned anywhere, so I'll throw them out there. One happens in Cloud Land after you rescue Rosella. I was just messing around a little, and I went to the far left of Cloud Land and tried to get as close as I could to the edge without falling off. When I got out onto the tip of...

It's a musical reference, yeah. I very specifically requested Tom to add the KQ4 fanfare to the final musical piece and his rendition sounds way better than the original ever did. Indeed it does; it was quite beautiful. There's several subtle musical references to other Sierra titles in the soundtr...

Interesting decision to implement acheiv--I mean, awards. I got Goldilocks (I always did that in the original game; I just find it fun) and Molasses.

I don't know if this counts, but I noticed that the KQIV title theme plays in the hat toss sequence at the very end of the game. Very nice rendition, and it gave me chills when I heard it, as it foreshadowed what was about to happen.

Wait...so are my eyes playing tricks on me then? Because I swear I see the elephant, newt, owl and rabbit hidden in the foliage on that screen (and I was assuming that the animals hidden there were the ones that go on the gate, which is obviously wrong).

Ah-ha! That would explain why doing what I did triggered the sequence. Thanks for looking into it.

Gotcha, thanks for clearing that up Erpy. I started getting the feeling that it was a glitch too, because the probability was just horrible. It's strange that doing seemingly unrelated things seemed to fix it, but I guess that's just coincidence. Well, at least you know it's there. :) Ironically, on...

Then you have to try again. I, too, occasionally saw the cat appear in the tower before the sequence triggered. Hmm. Even with going down the stairs to the foyer of the house and going back up to the observation room didn't help; it still took ten minutes for the trigger (this time, it was just befo...

I see...okay, I'm going to test this.

You mean you've gone up the stairway when the cat was at the bottom of the stairway? If so, that won't work; as MI said, the cat cannot be at the bottom in order to trigger the sequence.

Well, there have been a couple of times where he has been there, but most of the time he isn't, and still no fly. :( EDIT: Finally, it happened. You know, this is interesting. This is the second time I've tried to trigger the fly sequence; the first time I succeeded without trying nearly as long (tw...

Okay, so.....what conditions have to be fulfilled for this sequence to occur? Because I've been walking up and down the stairs for the past five minutes (literally; I've been watching the clock) and it hasn't yet happened. What's going on?

So many choices... I think I would have to go with KQIV, Camelot, and KQVIII, in that order, and the reasons have pretty much all been stated already. KQIV because you've already done outstanding jobs on the first two (and the third, from what I've seen so far) and that game really deserves it, Came...

Awesome! It's out! :D By the way, there are a few errors on the website, specifically this page . In the third paragraph of the "What is King's Quest III Redux?" section it says "King's Quest Ii", and in the "Release History" section it says that the KQIII remake was re...

Awesome!

It's unfortunate that you couldn't get Benson; it would have been incredibly cool. But, ah well; at least you tried. I look forward to hearing the new guy.

I know it's way too much to hope that you guys somehow got Robbie Benson to voice Alexander. However (and if you don't want to answer this, I understand), I was wondering if you were able to get Josh Mandel to reprise his role as Graham for the end, since he's been willing to work with you guys befo...

This is awesome! I'm incredibly excited for this; what an awesome, unexpected surprise! I can't wait!
