I hate the old "cannot confirm or deny" line; it just makes people seems shifty (and very bad at hiding it).

Oh well, we'll know what's up in a month.

PS - New page = no loading problems (unless Spikey posts again).

Pitty its only shipping to the US. What about Europe? Are we sliced liver?

As far as I know, amazon.co.uk will usually carry the same products. Just change the .com in the URL to .co.uk, and you'll get to the proper page.

and what about that "Romancing the stone" movie I saw in the video store the other day?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088011/

then again this was relased in 1984 and Kings Quest II (EGA) was released in 1985. I found it interesting to see KQIIVGA above EGA in the list when I typed in Romancing the stones.

Plus the original was actually called Romancing the Throne.

Wow... apparently the Romancing the Stones reference made absolutely no sense to QFGFan...

Quest For Glory Fan · #40 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 10:06 pm

Ooops. well I never played many Kings Quest games so sue me!

I played 5, 6, 7, and 8 and I have II EGA somewhere.

As Broomie pointed out, the original KQ2 played on the name of the movie "Romancing the Stone" but changed it to "Romancing the Throne". After Wookie changed the keys to stones, it was decided to rename the game "Romancing the Stones". It was all based off that original movie. I can remember my mom loving that movie.

Quest For Glory Fan · #42 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 10:46 pm

Oh I see now. :lol I didn't know there was an actual refrenceI started posting here 2 years after the game came out and I've only seen wookie post once so give me a break.

First you want me to sue you, then you want me to give you a break... perhaps I should just sue you 'til you're broke.

Quest For Glory Fan · #44 Post by **Quest For Glory Fan** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 11:07 pm

Looking through the IMDB search (which I found by BT linking it so cheers to him) I found there was another movie in 2005 called "Romancing the phone" perhaps that could be AGDI's next project.

Good news every one. Vivendi did conferm it they are releasing the classic sierra titles this fall. Some member of the vugames fourms did a anti piracy report to vivendi. And they said we are going to relase the classic sierra titles.
