EDIT: Also you need to change the skin tone on the woman she looks like a corpse and look into some hip movements (Women walk with there hips and men with there chests apparently)

That's funny, I'm a woman and walk with my legs.

Game's looking great though, I'm definitely eager to get my paws on it.

Now this I am looking forward to! I was actually just thinking about WatP the other day and how much I wanted to play it again. It's looking good so far, keep up the great work!

Either way you slice it, if you like King's Quest III, I hope you like this version.

We're polishing off the loose ends for the voice pack/update release currently.

Oh fear not BT, I'm definitely enjoying myself with this one. Like I said it'll be the first time I've actually completed KQ3 since I was terrible at guessing the verb back in my younger years. You guys have done a fabulous job with it. I'm sure Roberta would be pleased. :3

Now I just have to decide if I want to keep playing or wait until the patch\voicepack comes out. It's obviously completeable in it's current form... Choices.

I downloaded it last night and have been playing around with it for most of the day. It's really looking fantastic so far guys! Your effort is really showing off, and it's very much appreciated. The alst time I played KQ3 I was rather young and really bad at text parser games, thanks to you I think I can finally enjoy it.

Yeah it was on the second King's Quest collection. I have them both and they work fine in XP but I would've loved to have the talkie version of Dagger to go along with the talkie of KQVI which I also unfortunately don't have. If worse came to worse I'd buy that KQ collection but unfortunately it's probably still overpriced on Amazon.

Of course they manage to not shove my two Laura Bow games on either collection for an extra touch (didn't stop them before though).

I really wish I had the Roberta Williamson Anthology but I can only find it at ridiculous prices on Ebay. :S

I know it's been ages since I've come to this place, but I've got to say that this is one of the best looking game I've seen in a while. You're hard work is definately paying off my friend, keep up the great work. 

Its alwais a suprise if a old game work, Windows or Dos. I couldn'd get footstep sounds in AitD 3 but they were there in AitD 1. Some games had memory problems and you had to type in memmaker. Ay, thoose be the days.

I had aÃ,  win95 version of Prisoner of Ice. There was a walktrough in the helpfile written as a story.

>Shameless Cthulhu promotion here<

I saw this site a few weeks ago when I first heard about the game, damn I'm excited for it! Not only does it involve as I said before my favorite creature mythos but those fear effects sound like they're going to be awesome.

If only I had an Xbox.

Yep that's the one. Hmm I wonder what the deal with Dosbox not helping out is... :\

Not just that. There's all kinds of random incompatibilities, some games just won't run at all - Phantasmagoria 2, Ceremony of Innocence, Riddle of Master Lu... it MAY have to dfo with the fact that DOS has been removed. Others, like Discworld Noir, have to re re-burned WITHOUT it's copy protection, because WinXP's native burning feature screws it up somehow. ANd lastly, some games have WEIRD bugs - in Gabe Knight, you can run it but you can't save anywhere except on the map screen.

I HATE XP! But I didn't have a choice in the matter, unfortunately. Ah well, at least newer games come out all the time...

I hear you completely with that mon ami. All I want to do is play Phantasmagoria 2 but the damn thing won't install properly and what makes things worse is that even though I have the Windows only version and I've tried setting it up with tricking it by using this patch someone made (that makes it DOS compatible) and it still doesn't work even through DOSbox. Argh! I don't understand it because the first one runs fine on XP, but I don't really want to play the first one right now.

PS I have a fix for the GK one too (if it's Sins of the Fathers you mean which I'm assuming since sadly I haven't played the other two so I don't know if they have any issues) if you want I'll happily help you out.

I'll glady help you then!

With SotC you don't have to do anything special, just take the icon that starts the game and drag it into the Dosbox icon (or you could always do it out the long way by first going into Dosbox, mounting the drives and going that way).

Now with Prisoner it's a bit of a pain but here we go:

1) Extract (or install) the game to a directory called: c:\games\ice after that there should be a subfolder entitled prisoner (thus having the directory being c:\games\ice\prisoner

2)Now create a new directory entitled infogram and create a folder in there entitled ice

3)Copy ice.cfg from C:\games\ice\prisoner\saves to c:\infogram\ice

4)Open c:\games\ice\prisoner\__ICE__.PAR with notepad and change it to look like this:

LANGUAGE_LETTER=E
OPTIONS_PATH=c:\infogram\ice

And save

5)start up dosbox and mount c c:\

6)mount d c:\games\ice\prisoner -t cdrom

7)switch to the d: drive

8)for some odd reason to get the game to run properly you have to type dir next

9)lastly typing in ice640 should get the game to run. This also fixes a save glitch that comes with trying to run the game on XP.

I hope that helps.

But don't waste your money if you have XP. Even VDMSound won't run those games (DOSBox migh, not sure though)

Dosbox does but you need to do a bit of work for it. If the problem araises either PM me or simply ask here and I'll explain how to get it to work.

Personally I think you should. I recently got it again (I had first played it many years ago) and though it's not as cool as I remember it's still great. Being a huge fan of Lovecraft myself I also find it hard to resist something based on my favorite monster mythos. To answer the length question, it all depends on how you are with puzzles. For the most part the puzzles are logical but there are a few that made my head hurt.

If you can find it, also be sure to pick up Shadow of the Comet. It's technically the prequel to Prisoner and even though it has a clunky control system, I find it to be a better game.

I'm from Massachusetts in a nice little obscure town.

It's great living in a place most people haven't heard of because when I tell them the name they usually say something along the lines of "Where is that?" and I have to spend at least five minutes trying to find another town or city near it where they might have heard of.

Funny you say that because one of my friends now calls me that (and I quite fancy it).


Guess that makes me a cowgirl.

I had been exposed to the word a lot as a kid (what with reading plenty of fantasy novels) and eventually took a liking to it. On another forum I had joined I was trying to think of a name change and after reading The Crucible (don't ever believe someone if they tell you the play sucks ) and having a line in the play remind me of my liking of the word I then become Calamity.

I had been wanting to create an adventure game for a while but hadn't really known of any engines for it. After doing a search (ah Google...) stuff for AGS came up so I looked into it. I didn't download the software til I saw what the program could do (also known as I played Dark Ages and loved it ) and since then I've had the software but only recently had the motivation to actually get down to learning it.

The game's looking great Al. I love the backgrounds (you're a fine painter ) and character art.

Besides, anything remotely inspired by LSL is wonderful in my book.

Keep us updated my friend.
