Kings Quest 4
Had so much fun playing the remakes of KQ123 that I downloaded KQ4 (original) on to my hard drive then onto a CD and then onto 3 floppies and installed them onto my old computer which has Windows 3.1 on it. Had to try to remember back to DOS days. I am now playing KQ4 and it is great. A bit of a challenge going back to typing commands. Hope to do the same with KQ567.. I have "Betrayal at Krondor" on this computer as well..This plays excellently......Sal
I only got into king's quest after I was drawn here by the remake of qfg2. I played the remakes 1 and 2 and 3 from IA and loved it. I found a king's quest collection series that like, just recently came out or something, made for windows xp users (just a little side note for other people there). So I loved up through 6, but I started to play 7 and was scared away by its incredibly child-like gameplay. I tried twice, but just couldn't do it. Has anyone played it and, like, thinks it's worth playing even though it's so baby-catered? I felt like I was playing math blaster or something.

Klytyos I agree with you that B.A.K is the greatest. I had my old computer especially set up so that I could play it again and again and again and again and again ..............................................I never get tired of it and seem to discover something new each time I play. Pity the follow ups were not up to the same standard. The XP version KQ's would not play properly on my computer which is why I went back to basics..Sal

Betrayal at Antara works with VDMSoun, at least that works on my system (XP). BAK was the best, there were so many different ways to play it, the world map was huge for it's time, the replay value is great, and the story-line was great. I don't know why people like Antara though, I always try giving it another go every so often but I get bored with it and put it away for awhile each time. Return to Krondor was pretty good though, I think it made a good attempt at trying to go back to what made the first game so great.
Ahhh, don't know anything about VM ware etc.. At one time we had windows 3.1 on a set of floppies but stupidly gave them away. What I did about 18 months ago was to go to my friendly computer freak in Launceston Tas (Eagle Technologies) and they installed it for me just so I could revisit the old game scene...Didn't cost a lot and its worth it for the pleasure I get out of playing stuff like BAK.

Hi Gronagor, We do have floppy drive on the main computer "Beyond intel inside pentium 4) XP We have DVD drive plus burner etc etc etc. The older model computer has a floppy drive and a DVD but the DVD will not operate because we have windows 3.1 installed (56xMTRP)
Yes we got rid of a huge number of floppies too. Some I was glad to see go but others...too late now to moan about it.
Being somewhat of a hoarder and collector, however I still have some which I will never part with....Sal

We used to gave a huge draw full of floppies so we backed up everthing into zip files on a cd, including all my old games and a few older programs so we ditched all the disks out. Unfortunatly I leant the cd to a mate and never saw it again. Ever since i've been trying to track down all the games and programs and such i lost. Thank god for the internet.
Our comp still has a floppy drive, tho we had to buy it seperatly when we bought the comp. Only got rid of the discs for the free up the space in the draw.

I discovered that in America they don't make the distinction between floppies and stiffies like we did in South Africa, both size disks are called floppy disks. You can imagine my embarresment when I first used these terms around Americans when I moved here 9 years ago. LOL. I don't know how it goes in other countries, should be interesting though.Gronagor wrote:... Ahh... those were the days. Floppies were just 10 times more reliable than Stiffies... :p
Heh, when I was younger I called the 3.5's hard disks. My friend's dad (who worked for HP) would always try and correct me and tell me it was a floppy, but I just kept saying, "but it's not floppy, it's hard! The floppy ones are big!"

Man, there's just no way to get around sounding homo-erotic with this topic.
