...I'm still as stupid-excited as a 27 year old to play it now. Bt As a 28 year old I feel exactly the same way, I check three fan sites every day (and five others at least once a week): AGD Interactive, Infamous Adventure, and Indiana Jones - Fountain of Youth.

Thief Hybrid

My kingdom for a lockpick! I sacrificed my dreams of being a paladin for that stupid lockpick, but it was worth it. Plus I gave my hero some magic skills and fighting skills so that he was something of a formidable warrior too. I imagined him a Robin Hood with magic, although sometimes I had to stea...

I just found Leisure Suit Lary to be frustrating, I mean you jump through all these hoops just to prove you're at least 18 and nada (not even a nip).
I later realised that age verification check was more of a proof of purchase check, to teach punk kids like me not to copy the game from friends.

Honestly I don't expect much from VU at all, I was kinda goofing around with my wishfull thinking, I don't really expect anything like that from Vivendi. Come to think of it I don't know what we could possibly hope for for $19.99 - the original releases and dosbox maybe, lol. (by the way that was a ...

Yet more wishfull thinking

Or the release of the Silver Lining - Shadows (formerly KQIX) for that matter, which by the way I just can't wait for. Can you imagine though, a Kings Quest compilation with KQ I&II VGA and Shadows on it (Since those are the only fangames that have been granted licenses from Vivendi). That would...

I never played MOE

I wouldn't know MOE since I never played it, and since everybody who has played it seems truly traumatized if not emotionally scarred for life, it's probably a good thing. Not to mention that my lack of MOE exposure is probably what allows me to believe that a KQRPG would be perfect (especially if i...

Wishful thinking

Maybe Sierra/VUGames has asked them to create brand new commerical Kings Quest adventure games. a Massively Multiplayer Online King's Quest game!! Oh please God, that would be perfect, but unlikely. I'd still like to place my hopes on that idea though, or another idea that's just as unlikely but wi...

That's funny, makes you wonder why more chicks weren't into adventure games back in the day.

Guybrush & Elaine were definately my fovorite couple, Sonny Bonds and Marie (Sweet Cheeks) tugged my heart strings too. (excuse the spelling errors)

(and the list goes on) What kind of hero or villain (or hero/villain) is today's adventure game fanbase looking for. It doesn't even need to be a fictional charactor. For example, I t...

I just think it's weak for anyone to argue the use of illegal means as an only option. There's just no excuse to break the law on this one people.

Just when you thought the genre was dead.

I couldn't agree more with these sentiments. I remember playing these games as a kid and having a blast.

Thanks for clearing that up Erpy.

Back to QFG4.5, That games was a joke and an insult to the integrity of Quest for Glory. I wish people would stop recomending it as if it were some sort of valid tribute to the origional games.

Complexities

I respect everyone's right to their copyright but at the same time wonder if it wouldn't be for the better if there were some general rules about this that were more generous.. Perhaps have a few rules about slander demanding you respect the original as to prevent things like QFG4.5 from happening....

Protest!

Boycott vivendi and write them nasty letters, it's the least you can do people. This company needs to know that what they did was wrong. We can make them regret their decission.

I'd play a remake of any adventure game at least once, I think your graphics are just fine and hope that you do make a remake of this game. However I hope your remake or anyone elses would not detur AGDI from completing their remake, that is the one that I look forward to the most.
