I need an honest answer about KQC please!
Well I'm trying to convince my dad to buy KQComplitation and he's saying "NO"....................first of all UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And secondly he's says No becuase he thinks that it will destroy the computer. The games we had before were pretty old and a couple of computers we had died becuase of them. Well sort of becuase of them, I believe there were other problems as well. He's convinced these games are computer murderers. I don't want to spend the next couple years THINKING of KQ instead of Playing it! I never got to play kq5 and it looks really good. I miss waking up on Saturday morning and going straight to the computer and playing KQ6 or KQ7. I miss it so much. Why must I suffer? It's not fair really, so I need an honest answer from those who've played the new collection and I need to know, has anything happened to your computers since you installed them? Has it become slow(er)? Has it not been functioning properly? Please tell me! Thank you! :)

They won't hurt the computer. Not to mention that this new compilation is Windows XP compatible so speed issues about the games being so old are not an issue anymore. I have the SQ comp and it ran just fine with no problems to the computer. Your dad knows nothing if he thinks games hurt computers. But I'm sure you're just exagerating.

The KQ Collections are not dangerous, and they won't affect your computer. If that were the case than all of the KQ games would be recalled (taken off shelves)
I say, if he doesn't buy it for you than just get the money yourself. If it's 20 dollars, try mowing a few lawns and asking for a dollar 18 times. ;) I'm hoping someone will get that film reference.

Anyways, like everyone else said, the compilation is vetted for XP, so you shouldn't have any problems. Of course, if you have old copies and DOSbox already, you may not want to bother buying them except to support the oldies but goodies.

Another Question if you all do not mind....I ordered the 'King's Quest Complitation' last Thursday from Amazon.com, and the email said it would arrive between the 23rd to the 26th. So from your experiences (had you bought anything from Amazon in the past) would you say that Amazon is trust worthy? As in are they true to their word or will the package take longer than expected to arrive? And I do realize that depends on where their shipping it from. I don't know why I ask, maybe it's because I am so incredibly eager to play those games again. I miss waking up on Saturday morning to go on the computer and play KQ6 or some of the AGI/SCI games of KQ. I miss it, and I want it to happen ASAP! So hurry it up Amazon!

Okay now I have another question....I'm playing KQ5 (YAY! Finally) and when I try to Save a game it says the directory can no longer save any games cause the directory is used up............but I never saved any games so how can that be? How come I can't save a game? Any help is appreciated! Thank you! :)

Like I said, I saved my games in my root directory, which is just C:. I know that this is not the best place, but I was just lazy I guess. It would be better to create a directory (or subdirectory) called KQSG or something like that and just save your games in there.

If you like skills and fighting, you might enjoy King's Quest:MOE. It's more or less a first person slasher, where you go around Daventry and other lands killing mosters and collecting better weapons and armor. It defenately doesn't have the KQ feel to it, which is why most KQ people hate it. It's a good game in itself, just doesn't feel like a KQ game.BrianR wrote:I played the remake of 1 and 2 but I like the quest for glory series MUCH more. Maybe because of skills and fighting.
