A bit of nostalgia
Posted: Sat Nov 19, 2005 3:42 pm
You guys are probably getting sick of threads like this, but... I've been checking in every now and then for the past few years, and I just wanted to thank you guys for remaking these games, and especially for remaking KQ2, and I would like to say what a wonderful job you guys did.
When I was younger, and we still hadn't beaten all the "quest" games, me, my dad, and my younger brother would all watch my sister (or me), play the "Quest" games. We would all offer ideas and suggestions and overall, just have a good time. I have many fond memories of this. Anyway, my point being, that this doesn't happen these days, simply because no game can bring us all together like the Quest games could.
Just to relate a recent experience, my sister that I just mentioned is home for a couple weeks. She wanted to go through all the King's Quest games, and thus, a marathon was started. Even though we've completed all of them upwards to 50 times, it still manages to be fun. Especially since my siblings easily forget what to do. Anyway, they played King's Quest 2, and it was just like old times. My sister played while my dad, my brother, and my two newer siblings watched. My memory for adventure games is way too good. It's a good thing that I couldn't watch or play (because of time restraints, they always played late, and wake up early), because they forgot completely how to win. And I would have spoiled it for them. I'm grateful to the AGD team for creating a game that continues on such a wonderful legacy.
Best of wishes to future projects. We look forward to QG2VGA.
