AGDInteractive - Sierra Adventure Game Remakes Forum

I just wanted to say that I give my fullest amount of respect possible to the devellopers of this game as well as to the voice actors and others who worked on the first game for bringing a console gamer into the world of adventure gaming. Because of you fine individuals, I now appreciate a genre that would otherwise have gone unnoticed by me, and for that I am greatful. You men and women have kept to what you love doing, and have given those who love adventure games a place where they can feel at home. Again, thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn about a genre I knew nothing about.<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Hey, Binser, Thanks! It's really interesting to hear that this was your first taste of adventutre gaming and we're glad that you enjoyed playing it.<br><br>Just out of curiosity (and if you ever read this reply) how did you happen to stumble across the game/site? <p></p><i></i>

Hey there Binser...glad to see you're enjoying Tierra's fine products! I'm nothing more than a fan, but I and almost all the members on this board know that Tierra is a group of hard working and dedicated people. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I too am curious to know, how you happened to stumble upon this site? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/signature.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

I was at the Home of the Underdogs(www.theunderdogs.org), looking up adventure games. I found the first KQ game remake and gave it a shot. It was really good, and after beating it, I wanted more. When you release KQ2 remake, I was in heaven. The plot is better, the characters are more compelling, and its much less of a treaure hunt than the first one.<br>Since discovering this game, I have looked for more adventure games. I played Full Throttle and the Longest Journey, and am still on Syberia. I'm also pursuing a copy of Grim Fandango, and looking for a way to play other KQ games on my pc. If anyone knows a place to find them, and a way to play them on XP, please let me know! <p></p><i></i>

I believe Windows XP has a compatibility feature to help cope with older games. Of course, this may, or may not help, but it helps with some games. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.angelfire.com/pokemon2/scyth ... enshot.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/signature.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

The compatibility options thing does help for running Windows programs, but it's not there for DOS ones. For those, get <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://ntvdm.cjb.net/">VDMSound</a><!--EZCODE LINK END-->. <p></p><i></i>

Dosbox helps out as well.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://httpd.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nashs ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i></i>

Often, I hear the most effective solution is just to custom build a really slow computer that just runs it perfectly! Now, would that be a good or bad idea? <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.southwest.com.au/~jackie/signature.JPG" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>

If you can still find the parts, I say go for it. But, you'll be hard pressed to find an old 486 CPU and motherboard and all compatable controllers, graphics, and sound cards. You can't just walk into CompUSA and pick one up anymore. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :b --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":b"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/1679471.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>"May the way of the hero<br>lead to the Triforce."</p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... athoth8</A> at: 4/24/03 1:54:11 pm<br></i>

Yeah that is true anathoth8. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :p --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... tongue.gif ALT=":p"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> But I have a 333mhz computer that runs all the games fine.

Well, you're lucky then T-Knight.

HEck, the first time I played QFG4, I never encountered a bug.

Does anyone know where I could find dosbox? Is it similar to VDMsound? <p></p><i></i>

DOSBox can be found <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox" ... <!--EZCODE LINK END-->.<br><br>~Wolfgang <p></p><i></i>
