King's Quest IX- Every Cloak has a Silver Lining

Loved those old Sierra games.

I have the LSL Collection (1-5 or 6 was it?)
The PQ Collection (1-3, I think)
The KG Collection (1-6)

Sadly, there is no SQ collection that I can find. Roger Wilco is a sad panda. :(

Anyone who makes anything like those games, I'll check out day one.

You might enjoy this MVS...

I've seen two different Space Quest Collection releases (1-5 and a 1-6 one)... they shouldn't be too hard to find online.

EDIT - NoFace beat me to it... but that shizzle's expensive for these old-ass games.

5 is definitely the best, with 3 in 2nd place imo.

How about Police Quest? 1 was ok, 2 was GREAT, 3 was decent and 4 was horrible ass. Then they turned into SWAT and changed genres every year =/

I disagree. Maybe it was childhood persistence (I was like 9 when I was playing these), but we beat all the KQ's without any help. There was no internet back then and the only help was the pay hotline.

No game is out of place at TNL. ;)

This is cool news for King's Quest fans. I was never into that series but I'm willing to give it another try.

I dug Police Quest as well. I'm trying to remember PQ4, I think that was the one with the "realistic" looking characters and environments, with the Mortal Kombat-esque sprites. I didn't mind it so much but I was a sucker for FMV shit back then... I'll take your word for it that it sucks though.

PQ3 was the one I enjoyed the most... kinda missed the boat on the first two (played the VGA remake of 1 though, that was cool).

Anyone remember playing The Black Cauldron adventure game as a kid? I really liked that, one of the first adventure games I ever got to play and it struck me as really cool back in the day. Damn I feel old now...

I remember The Black Cauldron but I never played much of it. Maniac Mansion was my most played adventure game around that time.

I played Maniac Mansion on the NES, which I'm guessing was not the ideal way to experience that game... Day of the Tentacle (the sequel, for those not in the know) was just hilarious.

Actually, there is no game genre more fiendish than text parser adventure games.
