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

[NoFace]

Kidnemo, check out that link to the remakes of KQ1 and KQ2... the next project that team is working on is a remake of Quest for Glory II... looks good too.

Yea, I rememeber seeing that a while back I believe.

I don't think that there was ever a QFGII vga remake back in the day, I looooved the original VGA remake though.

I really should grab both of the KQ remakes and play through them one o' these days too.

KQ is great, but the king of the genre in my eyes will always be Quest for Glory.

QFG1 may just be the best adventure game of this type ever (and is easily Sierra's best ever adventure game). But the rest of the series never did it for me, especially 2.

Some of the junk in King's Quest was unsolvable... though me and friends beat 3 without cheating. I was never a HUGE KQ fan, but 3 was amazing. I played them all, but I don't think I beat KQ8 =/

Now the Space Quests (exept for 4, bleah), those were great, great games. Someone make a final SQ that links SQ6 to the future of SQ4, and we're done here.

There's a similar project by some Space Quest fans that actually has a couple people who worked on Space Quest 6 on it.

and Space Quest 5 and Sam and Max are the genre kings.

Now the Space Quests (exept for 4, bleah), those were great, great games.

I thought 4 was awesome. 6 was terrible though. Mark's absence was felt and the writing was bad. And the shift from hand painted art to bad pixel paint irked me to no end.

Space Quest IV... I liked that one a lot actually. First CD-ROM game I ever owned, and the first Space Quest I owned myself (though I had played others). That screaming zombie thing you could run into at the beginning of the game scarred me for years. Space Quest as a whole was great fun, I liked that series quite a bit.

Sam and Max might be my favorite adventure game... it's certainly up there. I liked Day of the Tentacle a lot too, and pretty much all of Tim Schafer's stuff.

Word.

I remember liking 3, though my computer wouldn't run it very well and always gave me errors.

Sam and Max might be my favorite adventure game... it's certainly up there. I liked Day of the Tentacle a lot too, and pretty much all of Tim Schafer's stuff.

I haven't played either of those...I really need to give 'em a try one of these days.

And Space Quest was great, especially cause it gives off a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy vibe like crazy.

[Mzo]

omg, I felt that, too. Arthur Dent looks like Roger in my mind =P

4 was ok... the time travelling bit was pretty cool, but I hated that part where the Time Police are chasing you in the mall. When you step into the anti-grav rink, that puzzle is based off your CPU clock (like the cop you distract with a pastry truck in Gabriel Knight: SotF)... so on my comp, I'd get into the rink, try to float to the edge of the screen, and a cop would come in and shoot me. Every time. I even ordered the hint book for it (before gamefaqs, here) and it didn't help me at all.

I had to turn the walking speed bar all the way up. I guess that just soured the whole game for me =/

Any love for Gabriel Knight? Cabri san cors? 1 was great, and 2 is like, the only good FMV game ever. Werewolves and Wagner... I bet I know someone on TNL that loved it =P

[Kidnemo]

lol!

Ugh...I hated that gravity skating-rink part.

Bad memories...bad memorieeeessss...

Gabriel Knight- Sins of the Fathers was so awesome. Especially awesome when they released the CD "talkie" version with a better soundtrack a bit later... I can still hear Tim Curry saying "Gabriel Knight"... I liked that version of Gabriel way better than the FMV actors in The Beast Within... which was like Mzo said, actually a good FMV game.

I only played a bit of the third GK game, although I wish I had played more. They brought back Mosley/Mark Hamil for that one (and made him sleazy looking heh).

Yeah those games were great.
