KQ1 - Getting started (sorry, real beginner needs help!)
I've just got the whole KQ Series 1-7. I downloaded and printed off the manual but can't find a list of key commands telling me how to make my character do the basic movements (ie picking something up). All I have are 2 onscreen prompts to bend & jump. I've read & re-read the manual. I checked a number of forums etc online but no joy.
I suppose I'm the only really thick one out here!
Please be gentle with me!
Well, I've looked everywhere and can only find that it is a Sierra product, supported by Dosbox - nothing else.
As to where I'm having problems - I can type instructions when I get to anything (ie "Give me the bowl" and the message "keep it to yourself" appears). My character can walk through each screen (using mouse or keyboard), jump & bend but that is that!
I'm unable to find out how to instruct my character to pick things up or do anything other than that which I've mentioned above.
Is there a list of command prompts that I'm missing from the manual or something do you think?
Sorry to be such a novice.

I don't know why you're having trouble. It's like Erpy said, walk up to the object you want like a bowl and type "get bowl". That should work. My only guess is that you're not walking up to the object? Typing "give me the bowl" will not work. You have to type the actions you want to perform directly into the game. "Asking" the game to do things for you isn't going to work. You're taking the wrong approach there.
It's obvious it is one of the Sierra versions if you can type at all. But is Graham yellow or regular skin colour? Maybe a better question would be can you use the mouse in-game?
