<div class="IPBDescription">anyone remember this old game?</div> the other day i was playing peasants quest over on homestarrunner and it reminded me of the old kings quest series. good games. i never really got into KQ1-4, but 5 and 6 were great. i still have kings quest 5 in the oriignal 1990 box, and i have 1-7 in another box, but i lost the cds. so i went ahead and installed all 9 floppy disks (there were also those huge floppy disks in the box if you wanted to use those, thats how old it is) and i played through it. its amazing how much i could remember. only took me a few hours to get to the end, then i just couldnt remember how to get mordacks wand, but i got that today and then beat the game. as soon as i find the cd for KQ6 ill have to play through that one, only problem i remember there being some puzzles i never figured out and i just used this notebook i found in my brothers drawer that had all the pictures drawn out that answered the puzzles, but that is long gone. maybe this time i can figure it out myself.

I remember spending an entire summer around my middle-schoolish years playing KQ6 day after day, both routes no less. Some of the most fantastic games ever to grace
I really want more games like this. One of my pet mod projects I had in the works was a KQ-style adventure game built on the Unreal engine or something... all the same point-and-click interface and everything, just with a series of cameras fixed in a 3D world with cool flybys between areas for a little graphics pizzazz.
We'd be sat in a mostly empty office with him pulling PCs apart and soldering stuff off in a corner and me sat there in a chair far to big for me, feet dangling of the ground, chucking bananas at gorrilas from the tops of buildings and playing KQ1 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

My first copy of HL1 (first as in i bought 3 more during the years) still has that King's Quest: Mask of Eternity Banner behind it, i was wondering if i'll ever hear about that game somewhere.
Gah, stupid memory loss T__________T
EDIT: Actually, I found it, turns out, most of them all are abandonware, and a lot others on that site..
<span style='color:red'>*URL NUKED.* Previously-linked site hosts NON-abandonware games. No warez. -Talesin</span>
Page contains Kings quest 5 and 6, and leisure suit larry games...Other KQ are on previous page.
