I don't want to be rude to you Daventry why not share that happiness on the real Sierra forums. AGDI are just on of the Sierra's fans just like you are now. I think they in Sierra online forums will be very glad to hear from another buyer customer like yourself if you tell them what you bougth from them. But yes I am also happy for you and I think I speak for every AGDI members:. "We the Sierra's fans wish you a good luck with those Sierra classic games you bougth". Cheers to you pal!

Aaahhh! Those South Africa people! Always so adorable and loveable people don't you think?

I just can't beleave people are actually playing and buying 80' and 90' classic games after all this years. I respect those gamers. I even love and adore it so much to watch and listen to 80' and 90' music's from youtube. My hairrstyle are old too, hehehe.

This has probably been discussed somewhere already, but did Sierra/VU ever release the Quest for Glory anthology for XP?

they're all to aware that it would be dismal. Even with dosbox it's hard to run them without fan patches. 1 and 4 are actually unbeatable if they rebundled them like they did to the other series.

Im trying to play any of the KQ Collection Games, but when i click on them, i get kicked back to the Desktop.

I installed the latest Dosbox and KQ7 works, but the rest of them does nothing.

The Police Quest and Space Quest Collection all work fine.

yes to fix this:
1. uninstall dos box
2. uninstall collection's
3. reinstall dosbox
4. download and install these patchs as fallows

http://tawmis.com/collector/Files/Patch ... onDB70.exe
http://tawmis.com/collector/Files/Patch ... Update.exe
apply the patchs make sure the games are installed in the right directory
example c:\Program Files\Sierra\Space Quest Collection(TM))
It doesnt matter if the rest works fine you need these patches

Your example is a little confusing, is this how i should install everything.

1. Install DOSBox 0.72
2. Install the 3 Sierra Collection Games. c:\Program Files\Sierra\Game Collection.
3. Install the patches. c:\Program Files\Sierra\Game Collection.
4. Install Multires
5. Install VDMSound: you will be able to right-click on your DOS game executable that you wish to start and select "Run with VDMS

zomg necromancy!!!!11!!! oh well it's relevant. First off are you in XP or Vista because you may have to change compatibility. I have the collections you describe and I just popped them in, installed and then played them from the auto run. However be careful with a few things. Timing errors in SQ 4 are still there. PQ3 needs to be patched and the dead ends in the KQ series are still there. The games are exactly as is but come with the autorun feature and have Dosbox preconfigured to the standard of most modern PCs

I have XP and i despise Vista.

Lay out the patches and stuff on me please, because i thought im buying Games for Windows XP with updates and patches included.
