Just got this today. Still factory sealed.

A few memories pertaining to specific moments: 1. Finding Ziggy's severed head in the Life Mask exhibit scared the daylights out of me. Probably the only game moment ever to make me scream out loud, so that's a memorable one for me. 2. Finally arriving at a screen pictured on the back of the box was...

Great question! Playing KQ7 for the first time (my first ever computer game) will always be a special memory because of the doors it opened. I was 6 years old and really didn't have a clue what I was doing. Our computer, at the time, was set up in one of our guest bedrooms. Initially, I was too afra...

That's what I suspected. Thanks for confirming.

Someone asked a very good question over on the ScummVM forums which has, so far, gone unanswered. This user wanted to know if Cranston Manor and Ulysses and the Golden Fleece were ever re-released on modern media like the Roberta Williams titles were, or if you can only obtain them from the original...

So I started my playthrough earlier this week. First, a problem. When I try to restore a game during Act 2, I get an Oops error and the game quits. This first time I thought it was an unlucky glitch, but it just happened again. Is there a way to fix my saved game, or are there places which are safe...

Interesting. I mean, obviously you know more than me. I haven't played through Kyrandia yet but the beginning came off a bit tongue-in-cheek to me. The opening cutscene was serious and somber and then Brandon's reactions to everything and the chippy music was like a huge contrast (maybe that was ju...

The first one's probably my personal favorite in terms of atmosphere, but there are obvious signs it was Westwood's first foray into adventure gaming. I'd say Hand of Fate is easily the strongest game in the series - they clearly had a better feel for things by then as it's much more polished. Malco...

I'd even put forth than King's Quest was the opposite. It kind of started out a bit silly and got increasingly more serious. Fair point. I haven't played the early games as much but you're right, they are much more lighthearted than later entries. Whereas the first Kyrandia didn't take itself overl...

It's funny that you call it a Kyrandia knock off - when the first Kyrandia was called a King's Quest knock off (so much so that they ended up putting disclaimer stickers on the boxes)! I am now, officially curious to play said Heaven's Dawn sometime... It's very much a Kyrandia knockoff visually. T...

I've recently been dabbling with Heaven's Dawn , a seemingly rare point-and-click from 1995. Developed by a Taiwanese company, then released in English in Australia. It features most standard P&C conventions, though not done nearly as well as Sierra's work. Visually, the game is an obvious Kyrandia ...

I'm currently replaying Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos. I'm not much for RPGs overall, but this one I quite like. I'm finally getting better at it, too; this is the first time I've made a lot of progress without resorting to a trainer or hex editor to max out all my stats.

Actually, I started playing it again in the summer sort of with my kids while we were visiting my brother and his family in Texas. But then it just sort of stopped. I do want to finish Laura Bow. I'm kind of stuck at the moment. I'll play that one for sure though. But the stuff like the KQ's, SQ's,...

I just finished two different playthroughs of the Desperate Housewives PC game from 2006. I'd only played it once before, right after it came out. Though displaying a number of the pitfalls of tie-in software, it's a reasonably clever interactive soap opera. Alternate paths to take in various "episo...

King's Quest 4-6 are others I forgot to mention. Those are often ones I revisit at least once every year or so. Now that I'm starting to get a feel for AGI titles (finally completed the original KQ1 for the first time ever a few months back), I might start revisiting those soon. One thing I love is ...
