Re: Fly Wing Woes

I saw the cat in the tower the first time I went up there, but I did it very early on when Mannanan was still around; he was in the tower himself, in fact.

Re: Fish?

Thanks, Erpy! I found it after a bit more searching.

Finding it isn't necessary to finish the game; its only real use is as an alternate puzzle solution, since without it you could run into a dead end.

Fish?

This may be an odd question, but....

I finished the game without finding the dead fish. Since I'd like to get a perfect score, where/when can I find it?

Re: A brief account of KQ3 Redux' history

"Beige" was probably the wrong word to use. But yes, that is the KQ6 CD GUI. However it's always looked like tan/light brown to me (with a slight reddish undertone, sure, but hardly outright pink). Back to topic: I'm eager to see the new KQ3 GUI. I wonder if it'll look anything like, say, ...

Re: A brief account of KQ3 Redux' history

No, the CD version is purple and pink. At one point we copied the GUI from KQ6 CD as a placeholder. I and others on the team always thought that was an ugly scheme. The current GUI that we ended up with is more of a brownish/golden yellow scheme now and it looks quite nice. Eriq did a fantastic job...

So more like the KQ6 CD title screen, then?

Re: A brief account of KQ3 Redux' history

The yellow buttons on that KQ3 Redux title screen remind me a lot of the KQ6 floppy version title screen. http://home.comcast.net/~ervind/kq6disktitle.png The CD version of KQ6 used tan buttons instead. In fact, the CD version interface as a whole was generally revamped and recolored from the floppy...

KQ6 early concept art for character portraits

I already started a topic about this at the Phoenix Online forums, but I figured I'd mention it here too. Apologies if this post seems image-heavy, but it illustrates a couple of points. On Akril's excellent Sierra Resource Files site , there are several sketches extracted from the resource files of...

As I recall it was a sound rip from Curse of Monkey Island, specifically the line where Murray introduces himself as "the all-powerful demonic skull."

Re: King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones v3.0 Released!

I thought one of the most striking new character portraits was that of the Ferryman. The old portrait showed him at some distance, so you saw less of his face. Now you see his moldy skull in all its g(l)ory. Also, were any of the voices rerecorded? I recall thinking the Sharkee King sounded differen...

Also in regards to other unnoticed Easter Eggs, there's a reference which film buffs who have a good knowledge of Hollywood history/archived materials may pick up on.

Re: Possible to have HP, SP, MP bars at the top?

I think the interface in QFG2VGA was much more influenced by QFG3/QFG1VGA (which didn't have that feature) than it was by QFG4. Plus adding it in might involve some ugly extra coding.

I can see no matter what I say in defense of my strongly held philosophical viewpoint, I'm going to be labeled a childish whiner just because I disagree with the AGD team on some things. Oh well.
