Next I downloaded the latest version of dosbox today but have know idea what to do next I got all the Space Quest, Liesure suite Larry, and Quest for Glory games for free today with a little searching around the internet but all of them are zip files and I really don't know what to do I tryed to install them but my computer keeps says that the Sound card and video card doesn't work with them.

And if your wondering what type of computer it's a Compaq Presario Pantium 700 and it has W98.

Sorry, we don't encourage piracy here, so there's little help we can give you.

So sorry I keep forgetting to put the word freeware in my sentices. Anywho some one on another site said you could get all the KQ sieres on freeware and that was the full games. I won't copy to much if I can't find it freeware. The other games I found them as freeware I still have to see if they are the demos or if they are the full games.

The quest series are not freeware, I'm afraid. They're protected by the ESA and it is therefore illegal to acquire any of Sierra's games other than a legal way.

Besides, they're re-releasing all those games anyway in december so it's even more illegal.

It would be alot easier to help with your Dosbox problem if you owned the original CD's.

Thks Shade that will be helpfull.

I was just thinking to myself which usually hurts. Wheres is a good place to by the KQ collection. I used to see it on store shelves but haven't in about a year. Sierra will probably want a small fortune for them any place else that my sell them for a little cheaper. That way it's not piracy and I don't get CALLED CHEAP.  I no I no I was the first one to call me cheap. I checked ebay all ready and no one wants to send to Canada or they want $20.00 to $30.00 to send to here. I was also looking for all of the Monkey Island Games.

I used to have all these game actually every single one but weel things happen ex wife and now I don't have them any more.

Anyways just wondering where I can find them either on 3.5 inch floppy or cd.
