Hey, I read the book titles, they're pretty funny. I like the message you get when you click the net on Graham, it has signifigance to me because I am into those "tie up" games. <p></p><i></i>

Also in the antique shop ther is a red hat next to the cartridge retrieval system. Try to take it. It's actually Simon's hat from Simon the Sorcerer 2.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

More easter eggs?
During the first test:<br><br>Graham as a child, and his friend;<br><br>They look like they were plucked straight from Roberta William's "Mixed up Mother Goose" <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>ps. In KQ6 did anyone notice the Arch Druid's eyes and the eyes of his headdress blink in tandem. Haha <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>classic</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Re: More easter eggs?
I noticed a few things the last time I played. <br><br>A book talking about the attraction of shrimp and barbecues.<br>If you give the pearl to the merchant before taking the pumpkin, his accent will change to an Australian accent.<br>Lastly, on the right side of the SQ1 bot there is a can of 7-Up.<br><br>I particularly got a kick out of the two Australia references. I wonder who thought those ones up. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://anathoth8.netfirms.com/sword.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>Don't go out the same way you did the last time <br>You'll break when you fall<br>Don't make the same mistakes you did all over <br>You've got to believe in yourself this time<br></p><i></i>

wolf
How exactly do you find the "wolf in grandma's clothing" easter egg? I'm at the point right after the flying horse drops you off at night and I don't have the needle or reed.<br><br>Earlier on this thread someone mentioned the "til beyond your reach" easter egg (it's a reference to MoE). I've found that this occurs the best while on top of the mountain.<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
The wolf...
You have to enter the house after Grandma has left it. I believe you just have to avoid the reed as you need the needle to get to that point. <p></p><i></i>

A-ha
I found the wolf. <br><br>I discovered that you MUST get the silver needle (as without it Little Red Possum Hood wont show up). Then proceed until you find yourself on the quest for the tiara but don't pick up the reed.<br><br>Then, the only time he shows up is just after you "whack" the three wolves, before you re-enter the swamp. You can visit Grandmother's house <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> then run away. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 0] --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /alien.gif ALT="0]"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>ps. I found another egg: Just after you dismount the flying horse at night, listen to the tolling of the church bells. It's taken directly from "Gabriel Knight: Sins of the fathers" <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... night52</A> at: 2/3/03 5:01:39 am<br></i>

When clicking on a tree I got a message about not being able to use this on a random 1x1 vga pixel.<br>It was very humerous and sarcastic<br> <p></p><i></i>

Didja notice...
... Possum and Connor are running neck-in-neck for "Most Annoying Voice in the History of the Universe"?<br><br>... Gervain's portrait looks nothing like his sprite, which is fatter and has a beard?<br><br>... Batman appears at Graham and Valanice's wedding?<br><br>... if you use the emerald on Hagatha's lion, he turns into a man that strongly resembles the naked sage from <i>Life of Brian</i>?<br><br>... if you transform the lion, the Naked Sage look-alike will attend the wedding and the Boatman will display very strategic scythe placement?<br><br>... for some reason, King Sharkee's voice reminds me of a male stripper?<br><br>... Caldaur and Lavinia have French accents?<br><br>... the voice actor playing Caldaur has difficulty keeping up his accent, especially during long speeches?<br><br>... if you speak to the log east of Hagatha's cave, you'll hear Graham do an impressive William Shatner impression?<br><br>... examining one of the tombstones in the Churchyard reveals a rather tasteless (but funny) Jesus joke?<br><br>... Cedric sounds like Mickey Mouse?<br><br>... the Door of Destiny looks like the Necronomicon from <i>Evil Dead</i>?<br><br>... Hagatha, young or old, is still ugly?<br><br>... Anastasia is a spitting image of her grandmother?<br><br>... a letter found in the nachtigall's cage reveals that most of the witches/wizards in the series either know each other or are related?<br><br>... Mordack now has TWO siblings who are at least part feline?<br><br>... the Father has one glowing blue eye, just like Hagatha's skull buddies?<br><br>... Bonehead looks much angrier than Murray?<br><br>... pumpkins don't grow in tropical climates?<br><br>... the Father sounds a bit drunk?<br><br>... I have way too much time on my hands? <p></p><i></i>

But! But!
Everyone knows sharks ARE fish to begin with! So ha!<br><br>Anyway. I suppose C&L are supposed to have Germanic accents, but the presence of a gutteral <i>R</i> makes them sound more Gallic. That's really the only problem this European had with the game: the accents are terrible. <img border=0 src="http://users.domaindlx.com/broomie/cry.gif" /> <p></p><i></i>

Re: But! But!
Considering that the Voice actress who did Lavidia's voice IS German, I imagine that she sounds more like authentic German than French.<br><br>And you found Connor do be one of the most annoying voices in the game? Cool! That means I must have gotten his tone down perfectly then <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
other things
Examining the birdcage gives you a rather chilling letter that Graham will not understand the implications of until 2 decades later.<br><br>It's a letter from a certain other sorcerer talking about how it will be a pity to have to kill his 17-year old serving boy, and "needing a replacement soon." <br><br>It also discusses how his brother is getting interested in women - particularly a yet-to-be-born girl that will be born to an "older royal couple."<br><br>Damn near spit out my soda when I read that. If ever there was a smoking gun regarding "Alex and Cassie...." <p></p><i></i>
