Being a fan of Arthur Yahtzee's work, I had hoped to sign on the forum where his fans discuss his work. Unfortunately, registration is disabled because of bots (few forums have been able to find adequate ways to block bots, it seems). I was directed by the site admin's instructions to contact someone who was supposed to help me sign on, but alas no reply. Is anyone else here know how to register for that particular forum?

Thanks, Arj0n! I'm glad that the links for the two games are archived and stable, and that I am able to play them!

It's good thing that you were able to play the Arthur Yahtzee games. I don't know what my problem is. On both Windows XP laptops of mine, both Think Pads, whenever I click on each of the game icons to start, it says:

File Error: Cannot find VBRUN300.DLL.

The next one says: Can't run 16-bit windows program:

Cannot find file C:\DOCUME~1\(My name)~1\Desktop\Friday\Friday.exe (or one of its components). Check to ensure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available.

It's weird, because I thought the icon was the exe file. Do I need to change the file properties in order to play it, or is it that the Yahtzee trilogy games are just incompatible with Think Pads? Or could it be that some essential file information is getting lost through my downloads?

I've noticed for awhile that a few of Sir Arthur "Yahtzee" Croshaw's games, or at least the download links for them, are no longer functioning. These include the Rob Blanc trilogy and The Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantibulous Wonderment. Is there a way to repair them, or are the links forever lost? (Unless Yahtzee himself or someone else still has access to the original game files). Another concern is related to some links on Yahtzee's site itself (the forum there is unfortunately locked, so I can't bring to the topic up to him). The download links for the Arthur Yahtzee Trilogy on Fully Ramblomatic.com are stable, but the games refuse to play on Windows XP (or any other modern Windows computer, I think). I suspect that the game content of those downloadable links may be corrupted, but I'm not sure. Do you know how to reinstate the links for the previous games I mentioned, or to find a way that could make it easy to play the other games I mentioned from his site?

Greetings, O High Lords of the AGS cyberkingdom!

I have assumed the name of Yellow Knight, as a satirical homage to King Graham in the first KING'S QUEST game who was, well, a knight with yellow skin. There were other humanoids with yellow skin in the first game, such as an elderly couple and the giant, but Graham himself is representative of nobility and potentially royalty. Yellow is a royal color in some countries, so it's as if is genetic skin mutation was nature's way of making his noble bloodline more apparent. If nature wanted to make Graham more biologically noble, it should have given him blue colored blood instead of red just to suit his ego. It's amazing that his wife and children were spared from Graham's unfortunate fate.

I am also a fan of a lot of the classic adventures, so that's that.
