I've searched the AGDI forums for some questions you hear alot. Also adding a few obvious ones that are asked alot.
Most of these are stated quite clearly in the Rules and Reg, but I just toned them down abit.
1. When is {Insert Game here} coming out? There isn't a release date on the site.
Well most of the games that are in development don't bother with a release date, as certain things can happen and you just can't promise that the game will be released on 5th March 2005. So the common answer would be It'll be done when it is done.
2. Can you remake QFG4, KQ5 and 6, SQ4?!1111
The answer is one big fat NO! The whole point of what AGDI and other remakes is to remake them into Sierra's VGA standards. What is the point of remake an already VGA game just for the bugs? Now that's a FAQ for you lot!
3. I am now playing some sierra classics, like QFG 1 and KQ 4, and i am having some problems with sound. I can't hear nothing, no music at all!
Use VDMSound or DOSBox
4. How do you use dosbox???
It's not too hard. You ought to give it a try.
First, download it and install DOSbox, just like you would with any other Windows program. Then, start the program through your start menu. At this point you will be looking at a DOS prompt.
Next, you will need to "mount" a drive, which means to tell DOSbox that it can access a directory on your hard drive as if it had it's own.
I enter the command:
mount c c:\games
"mount" is the system command, the "c" means "this is DOSbox's new C drive," and where I have "c:\games" you would put the directory where you keep your Sierra games.
Next, you will want to go to the folder you have QFG1 in, which will look something like this:
cd QFG1
"cd" means "change directory"
Then you type the name of the executable file, I think "hero.bat" or just "hero" and you're in!!!
If you want a list of all of the files in that directory, type:
dir
And that's it! There's more to DOSbox if you want to play around, but that's all you need to do to just get QFG to run in DOSbox. Give it a try, it's worth it. And I'm sure somebody here would be willing to walk you through any problems with DOSbox, as there are so many people here who use it.[/b]
5. I can't complete QFG4, there's a horrid error at the swamp!!!?? >: >:

6. Look at my wbsyt!!!!111 plz it gets no vizeters!?! here is the link.
7. I own King's Quest 5. I installed it on my computer. (Has windows XP on it) And when i try to run it, it says "Insufficient local memory:36818" Please help!
I assume you're playing the Windows version? If so, you'll need to use the compatability settings to make it play in 640x480 using 256 colors. KQ5's Win interpreter was made for Windows 3.0, which doesn't support other resolutions.
8. Anyone know where I can download King's Quest and the other Sierra classics?
That my cheap friend is illegal, and will not be discussed. If you really want it goto your local computer shop just incase or my friend eBay can sort you out.
9. Anyone played Quest for Glory 4 1/2, great game!
Although I very much agree
AGDI have a thing with the makers of QFG 1/2 so discussion about that won't be tolerated.10. Let's have a discussion about religion...
Let's not. Religious debates are something that shouldn't be discussed here. Don't ask me.
Feel free to add more, afterall it's nice to have abit of common sense in these forums, maybe if Erpy sticked this (if he wants I don't really mind)
that'd be good for the newbies. If they read it first that is.
