Graphical walkthrough for KQ1

#1 Post by Que » Tue Feb 04, 2003 2:38 am

I just finished a walkthrough site for the King's Quest I remake. This site has maps, item details and step-by-step directions on getting each of the treasures.<br><br>Link:<br> <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://DrQue.net/KingsQuest/">DrQue.net ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>Hope you like it!<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://DrQue.net/MrMan_60x60.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... ums>Que</A> at: 2/4/03 5:47:15 pm<br></i>

Good work, Que. It seems to be quite comprehensive. On just a quick viewing though, I did notice several typo's in different areas. You should do a bit of proofreading to get those corrected. <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>

I think for the image in your sig, you need to spell out "image" instead of abbreviating it. <p></p><i></i>

Actually, regarding the image that didn't work; there was a button to add an image when I made this post. So, I pushed it, specified the URL, and it didn't work. <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://DrQue.net/MrMan_60x60.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><br>But... for whatever reason, it seemed to work this time. eh. <p></p><i></i>

Oh ya, the spelling and grammar.

A few comments

#8 Post by TheFatherInLaw » Fri Feb 07, 2003 3:06 am

A little comment on the "Enemies: Sorcerer" section.<br><br>As Erpy once said, the enchanters in Daventry and Kolyma are not the same person. Not only do they wear different outfits, but the Daventry sorcerer is in the audience when the Father is revealed at the end!<br><br>Obviously a sorcerer wouldn't likely visit the castle of someone who'd held a sword to his throat, so they must be different people.<br><br>I understand you're dyslexic, so I can forgive the typos.<br>However, it would be cool if the pictures from the game were not blown up or blurred to tone down their quality, so that a visitor would actually see what the game appeared like.<br><br>Other than that, great job! <p></p><i></i>

It's worth noting that the character in KQ2VGA is an enchanter, not a sorceror. <p></p><i></i>

Hi.<br>I was hoping you might put a screenshot showing where to stand to get the darn condor to pick you up. I've been trying to get past this part unsuccessfully for ages!<br>:-) <p></p><i></i>

That's a good idea. Will you do that?<br><br>In the meantime, scour the screen of the dragon's cave.

Holy Moly! You really outdid yourself! This is so in-depth. I didn't know that anybody would want to spend a few weeks (my guess) on making a website to demonstrate how to beat a game that can be summed up in about 2 paragraphs <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>GOOD WORK!

Condor and comments

#15 Post by Que » Wed Feb 12, 2003 3:45 pm

As requested, I added a bit more about catching the condor. Unfortunately, I don't have catching the condor mastered, so I offered everything I do know. Any other tips would be appreciated.<br><br>Extra tips page:<br> <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://DrQue.net/KingsQuest/CatchingCon ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>This page is now linked from the Magic Shield walkthrough.<br><br>To avoid a huge number of reply posts, I'll comment on a few other things here.<br><br>Spelling and grammar: Checking should be nearly complete. I'd like to thank my thank my buddy and long-time Quest for Glory fan "Zen" for helping me out with this.<br><br>Sorcerer: You are right guys, the Sorcerer is not the same as the Enchanter in King's Quest II. My mistake. (I guess I'll have to find an other way to get revenge on this nuisance.)<br><br>And thankx to everyone who has visited the site and posted remarks! You guys/gals are great!! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://DrQue.net/MrMan_60x60.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

If you look closely at the floor, there is something that looks like an X. You've got to stand exactly there, then catching the condor is easy. <p><center> <table> <tr><td nowrap style=filter:glow(color="mintcream", strength=#+15)><font color="#1010bb" size=2><b> Lira Lindriel - - - - - - - <i>Magic is real - unless defined integer!</i></b></font></td></table> <br><font size = 1><a href="http://pub88.ezboard.com/bbackyarddiscussions">Backyard Discussions</a></font> ~x~ <font size = 3><a href=http://denim.bbboy.net/lirasduchy><b><i>Lira's Duchy</i></b></a></font> ~x~ <font size = 1><a href="http://liralindriel.bbboy.net/">My poems, stories and tags</a> </font></center></p><i></i>

I still get a decent number of hits on this site, so I figured I'd update everyone with the new location:<br><br>Link:<br> <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://KingsQuest.DrQue.net/">KingsQues ... <!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>Sometime ago, we switched our server OS to Linux, web server to Apache and learned about virtual hosts-- but that has nothing to do with KQ1.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://DrQue.net/MrMan_60x60.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>- Que <p></p><i></i>

Que!!!!!!<br><br>I just wanted to tell you that this is some very impressive work! Very well done my friend! I have had both the tierra remakes for some time, but just havent had the time to play them. However once I saw your walkthrough I immediately began to play through KQ1VGA! This is excellent work, and also a great compliment to the tierra team! You truly have a gift when it comes to these graphical walkthroughs and you should definately pursue this further. Once again I am very impressed and keep up the superior work!<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Que, there's no need to refrain from listing the easter eggs just because I already mentioned them in my FAQ. Just reword them a bit and use screenshots if possible. <br><br>In fact, the new version (3.0) will contain two more "easter eggs" (one minor textual reference and one major egg) and I don't think I'll be including them in my FAQ until they are found. If you can find them, go ahead and get the credits for it.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashn ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Que, I must say that it is a very impressive walkthrough, but I find it a little hard to follow. I've looked at it twice so far, but do you think you could also have a straight walkthrough? I think I would get confused trying to do everything if this was one of my first adventure games ever. <p><br>---------<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/bryce/frank.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>"Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?"<br>"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"<br>----------<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/spongefactory/" target="top">Sponge Factory</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

Personally, I like it the way it is. It makes it easy for you to find the information relevant to your problem without getting more than what you need.<br><br>For instance, let's say I know I need to go down the well, but I'm not sure what to do beyond that. A quick look at the well page on the walkthrough would tell me exactly what to do. At the same time, I would not get any premature information about, say, how to catch the condor. I can still try to figure that out on my own. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.shadowwebs.co.uk/images/gansig.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>"Let me show you what hope you have."</p><i></i>

New stuff

#22 Post by Que » Mon Sep 29, 2003 10:42 am

Added a new fetches to the King's Quest I walkthrough site, the ability for people to add their own comments to pages. If you know the game inside and out, and see that I have missed something in the walkthrough, you can add it. <br><br> I figured I'd post this news in the forms, since most people that go to the my walkthrough are looking for answers rather than looking to add information.<br><br>Hope you like it <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
