A little idea about AGDI's promise with Sierra.

#1 Post by Alias » Wed May 25, 2005 4:52 pm

As I can see that AGDI uses Sierras's permission to make the remakes, I was wandering if AGDI would release other remakes under their name? Would that be possible to have no hassels?

Afraid not. The topic did come up though, trust me.

Sorry about my ignorance but what does AGDI stand for?

I am a fan of King's Quest but I am new to this stuff

Yea I noticed that too, quite awhile ago.

I think AGDI would rather spend time on Himalya projects where there's more of a future for them.

I agree.  However, once Himalaya takes off and they make some profit, perhaps they can "sell off" AGDI to a new group and they could continue the remakes under the license...

...I can see it now; AGD4 and AGD5 taking up the mantle with a new remake...  :D

Speaking of Himalaya, I noticed on JustAdventure's E3 report, Al Emmo was listed as a free download.  Perhaps someone should contact Randy Sluganski about that?

It was a free download for me.  ...Oh wait, you meant the general public. Heh. I'll let them take care of correcting the situation.

AGD1 already contacted Randy about that particular article.
