Favorite Kings Quest moment???

[esper]

It's been done... None can defeat the <splash> series.

Hey, let's build hype for "The Town on the Edge of Darkness" while we're at it...

[Kinoko]

I'm all for reliving treasured gaming moments but if the purpose of this is to manufacture hype for an upcoming game... well, it makes me feel dirty, to be honest.

I loved most of the King's Quest games (1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 anyway - 3 pissed me off with the spells and always dying) but I can't talk about that just to promote something that may well be crap in the end (not saying it will, but I haven't played it yet so it might).

No offense personally Rosella, but you're kind of creeping me out with the advertising and the weird comments about the "youth" @_@

But yeah... King's Quest was awesome but Hero's Quest (QFG) is better *runs*

[esper]

Yeah... The youth... Let's all be phat and hip and grow phat on our hips so the youth will prosper... Oh, the children, those precious little midgets. they must come to enjoy old-fashioned games, so let's make hip raps for them...

I thought that sounded kinda seedy too... Hence my above post... Why not hype MY game while we're at it? Plus, y'know, we could sue for intellectual property rights if any of this is actually used without permission to actually hype the game...

Again, no offense... No offense....

I'm all for that.

BTW I have one of the KQ games but could never get it to work on XP

[esper]

Have you tried a DOS emulator? Not that I could ever get my DOS emulators to work, either, but...

Then, one day, I typed the error message it was giving me when I tried to run old DOS games on my computer into Google, and it came up with the solution... Apparently, one of the XP Service Packs deletes a couple files that are necessary to playing DOS games on your compy. After fixing it, I can play all my old games short of those 5 1/4" floppy Commodore 64 games... ::cries::

(as a side note)

You've played TOTEOD?

[Nikolas]

I don't like Kings Quest! Except VI! I'm not sure that I will like IX!

[Paragraph missing]

DOS-BOX always worked for me, with playing old games.

And I have played TOTEOD and its atmosphere is marvelous. creepy! The graphics could use some work but a great first game! And for everybody who knows that me and esper are friends :Duh! At least I don't go everywhere asking to build the hype (That's espers job! )

About the shining thingy, a little further thoughts. I always believed and still do that respect about someone/something must be earned not demanded! And I can't have respect for something not born yet! If I was Rosella, I would wait for the game to come out and then I would build the hype, the best way I could!!!!!

Come to the dark side...

Now, another l33t limerick by ME, to hype my own game... Just for good measure, since I was hyping KQIX a while ago...

There once was a fella named Ian
who didn't believe what he was seein',
so he took a boat one day
to an evil island far away,
where <splash>.

Although... you can't actually fall in the water in TotEoD.

[Potch]

Wow.  Why is everyone being so hard on Rosella?  She's involved with something that she is excited and passionate about.  I don't blame her for wanting to hype it.  So some of you don't like KQ.  That's fine, but there are millions that do.  If you don't agree with what she's doing, don't participate.  But, some of you are being downright mean.  What happened to the days when people here supported each other in the making of adventure games?  I mean, isn't that why we are all here?  Because we love adventure games and we don't want to see them die? 

Lately, I've seen a lot of posts here chastising others.  People constantly telling people that their posts are stupid, that they don't follow the rules, that they hate the games they are working on and so on.  It's become very very negative, and to me, it's very sad.

No horror novel
No horror movie
No Manhunt
No police documentary

Has never beat that extreme shock I got
when I was suddenly eaten by blue spider in KQ3!

This is MOST FRIGHTENING and UNEXPECTED onscreen experience ever!

[Princess Rosella]

Thankyou Potch.
To everyone else, I'm really sorry if I offended.Ã, Ã,  :-[Ã, Ã,  I'm just really excited about this and I thought the feelings might be mutual.Ã,  Ã, 
Signing out.Ã,  Ã,

I think that I've come off a little mean (maybe more than a little).

I dunno, Message was sent, no need for everybody else to read it anymore... Previous post deleted... My PM channels are always open.

there was a young woman from ealing..
who had a peculiar feeling..
she lay on her back..
and...


no?

[Radiant]

There once was a poet from Hong Kong
Who thought limericks were too long





(oh yes, fave moment? Meeting Death in KQVI, of course!)

[Paper Carnival]

Its Christmas time again, my dear
but Santa's gone a-missing
Instead, I'll be your Jolly Quest
So come 'ere for some kissing!

[milkanannan]

KQ4 has the best moment - when rosella and the green witch get it on.  Then Graham pops out with a camcorder...

[Blackthorne]

I like the part where you go to Phleebut.

Sorry if we are scaring you off Rosella! Its just your, as someone else said, "advertising old games to the kids by making "hip" "rap songs" and poems" isnt working very well. If you want to "reach" the kids, you shouldnt try to be like them unless you know excactly how to. I am 15 myself, and love old adventure games, but what you are doing doesnt make me want the old games.


Anyhoo.... I havent tried KQ, so my favorite moment must have been the "splash" poem

[Corey]

The first time played it when I was walking through to woods and saw a bridge I wanted to cross. So I clicked on the other side with the walk pointer. Then the guy run straight into the water. It was so unexpected and funny... It still my favorit. And lol that was today 

[Mordalles]

i like the moments where roberta actually thought up something original and didnt go and steal all the fables and legends and myths of other writers for her games.

There are moments like that in King's Quest?
