AGDInteractive - Sierra Adventure Game Remakes Forum

Hey, congratulations on your achievment, glad to know you made it safe all the way. You have to come back to Mexico though, cause Michoacan is a beautiful state, although probably not the best for biking.

Anyway, back on topic, I recently replayed all three remakes and they really, really, look very good. These last versions of KQ1 and KQ2 are definitely high class. Congratulations once again and, since the future looks uncertain now that there's not a lot of room to move in regards of your three remakes (they couldn't be better than they are now, so I'm not expecting a KQVGA 5.0 or something), I think it's time for a new announcement from AGDI, to keep us fans entusiastic and looking forward. It's April the first anyway, so you could announce just about anything. I signed in today almost expecting to find an announcement. So why don't you?

Ok, then! They're remaking Thexder!!

No, they're not! You won't fool me with that one.

Good to hear you're still safe and sound, Brit. And congratulations on finishing the ride.

I haven't been around in months thanks to some technical issues, but I just wanted to drop in and give thanks again for all the hard work done by the AGDs and associates.

King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones (Version 3.1) has been released for both PC and Mac. Again, a big thanks for Les Wavrychuk for assisting with the Mac version!

You can get the latest builds from the King's Quest 2 page on the AGDI website.

Important: Remember to uninstall any previous versions of King's Quest II: Romancing the Stones from your system prior to installing version 3.1. Since we have changed installer software, v3.1 shouldn't be installed over an existing installation, as this has the potential to leave ghost files behind when you later uninstall. Save game files are, unfortunately, not compatible between different game versions.

CHANGES TO VERSION 3.1

- Changed: the game's installer to use Inno Setup for better compression and performance
- Added: an Apple Mac port of the game
- Added: a checkbox to the installer asking whether the user wants to create a game desktop icon or not

A patch has been made available for the King's Quest 2 remake, which updates it from version 3.1 to 3.1b.

Unfortunately, this patch is available for the Windows version only (no Mac patch).
