POStudios Forum

Ok,

This a poll because I'm wondering when the people of this forum first journeyed into the land of Daventry. Were some of you here from the beginning? Or perhaps you got into it with the changing times of 1989 to 94? and perhaps beyond that too
And how did you hear about KQ?
the last option is, of course, a joke  :P

I know one person that could use the last option as an answer XD

Anyway I'm a Third Generation :D

2nd Generation

2_nd Gen as far as I can figure. If I was exposed to KQ before than I have no memory of it.

3^rd, by no fault of mine. :P I'm not old enough to remember anything before 1995! XD

i'm 3d generation, but I'm 24, I was born in 1980. I was too little to play computer games and I didn't have a computer when I was 4. I was not interested in computers, or adventure games, I did not become interested in them till I got older. I played with dolls, my little ponies, went to preschool and read some children's books when I was little.  I liked playing KQ5 when I was a young teenager, but those puzzles had me stumped for years.

2nd Generatiion for me.
I started on KQ7 anyway, my dad used to sit me down in front of the computer and I would always play chapter two, where Rosella is turned into a troll. I LOVED that chapter. Only later (say when I was eight)  did I finish the whole thing. I also hated Ooga Booga kand more than anything. Now i'm getting sentimental. 

95-97 i only got King's Quest VII free in jewel case with Windows 95  :P anyways since 1996 my craze for King's Quest began (although i explored more then, then done puzzles  :P)

3rd generation.

My mom & dad are 1st though!

Third Gen. All the way :stabs:

I was second generation. Not sure what year exactly, but I remember where I was living at that time, and that falls mainly in the 2nd Generation category.

By my own reckoning, I am third generation. I first got into King's Quest in 1995, at the age of five, playing King's Quest V, which also strangely enough was released in November 1990, when I was born. I was playing a game that was released the same time as me, the fifth of a series, in the fifth year of my life in the fifth year of the 1990s  :P and that equals 15, which is the age me and KQ5 are turning this November.
But anyway, back to logical thing, head of Cloud Land, kq5 I heard about because my dad bought it (he loves all fantasy stuff) when we got our first computer, a Packard Bell that year. The game also caused me to really like the company Sierra, and it got me (albeit 3 years later) into Space Quest, which I also like fell in love with at age 8, and then so on...

I played KQ5 when I was 5, around 1989.  ;D

Total 2nd generation, I've been playing comp games since I was 3 but nothing quite as complex as King's Quest till I was around 4-5 years old, so I'm 2nd generation  8)

2nd gen too. I was thinking the first time i played KQ was when I was 5 for a long time but yesterday I realised I was still in my old house the first time i played it and we moved out of there when I was almost 5 so it must have been before then...

I'm 2nd Generation, but I can't remember the exact year.

BTW, why was this thread locked? ??? *unlocks* ;D

Someone accidentally locked it instead of replied to it?

I was born in 1977 and the first KQ6 Game i played was in 1995. :)

I was first introduced to KQ in 1994, so the very end of the 2nd Generation.

IIRC, my parents only bought our first computer in 1988, so that makes me second generation 8)

Second gen, I think . . . born in 1986.  My dad was playing them, and I have this confused memory of the first two where like he had the trident and then got killed by the KQ1 wolf, lol.  I couldn't type or else I would have played them too, but I remember very well making my way through parts of 5 (I imagine with a lot more of my parents help than I recall now).  By the time KQ6 came out, I was the rabid fan in the family, and I got the CD version for my birthday, in the white box.  I don't know what year that makes it, but it's the oldest birthday present I can clearly remember.  Must have been in at least first grade . . . details so fuzzy now, huh.

Anyway, I loved KQ6.  I replayed that game so many times, and I often feel I need to again, though I haven't actually done so. . . man, I was addicted.

I still am.
