A funny idea for a remake of Kings Quest 5

#1 Post by Aussie Bloke » Fri Sep 03, 2004 11:36 pm

Hi all. I know KQ5 is in VGA and doesn't need to be remade unless someone wants to upgrade it to VGA 640x480 or higher, but anyways I have a funny idea for the rat if the game ever gets remade.

In Australia we use to have an afternoon kids show called "The Ferals" back in 1994 and a spinoff called "Feral TV", which both were hilarious, the Aussies here would be familiar with this show. Anyways on the show there's a rat called "Rattus" who wears a leather jacker and talks with a sleazy Aussie accent and loves fart smells and often laughs with "hehehehehehehe" and often says "maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate", here's a picture of Rattus http://www.abc.net.au/children/feral/fa ... efault.htm . Also the cat should be replaced with one of the other Feral characters which is a cat called "Modigliana" http://www.abc.net.au/children/feral/fancards/1.htm I thought it would be cool if the rat gets replaced by Rattus by using a picture of Rattus and using Rattus's voice, eg when King Graham throws the boot at the cat and saves the rat, the rat will appear as Rattus on the picture window and with the Rattus voice goes "Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate, you saved my life, that bumface Cat Guts Modigliana was in a real stroppy mood today and was gonna belt me up, I'll return ya the favour some day maaaaaaaaaate, got to get back to my other feral mates hehehehehehehe" and Rattus runs off.

Also when King Graham turns himself into a rabbit to dodge Mordack when he's a dragon in the end, the rabbit should be replaced by the Feral rabbit character "Mixy http://www.abc.net.au/children/feral/fancards/2.htm . And also the dog that bullies the ants should be replaced by Feral dingo character "Derryn" http://www.abc.net.au/children/feral/fancards/3.htm . And lastly the toads in the witch's woods should be replaced by Feral character "Kerry" http://www.abc.net.au/children/feral/fancards/5.htm . Kerry is a funny cranky boss who likes to get stuck into Rodney Roach and the Ferals and once called the Ferals a bunch of "nosepicks" :rollin !!!

Just an idea I thought of as I think it be a real cack to see happen :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin !!!!! Here's the Feral TV website for those who don't know about them http://www.abc.net.au/children/feral/default.htm .

Cheers
Troy :rollin

If I was an Aussie...... I might get it.

But it sounds like a funny idea!

I'm an Aussise and I get it. It could be sort of an Easter egg. Like in the Ultima 7 Serpent Isle easter egg introduction, where the Guardian sends Batlin to the Isle to search for Acne medication :lol

I'd say spending the many months necessary to remake a VGA game just to insert obscure references that no one will understand and that will just confuse most of the audience is not one of the better ideas I've heard.

I agree. This idea is a flop! I mean I dont get the jokes at all? KQ5 is one of Sierra's finest! A legened! Lets keep it that way. Unless you want it to be in 3D then I'll say go for it, but this idea is crappy. (Sorry if I offended anyone.)
