Check this out! - The KQ Compilations Thread

It is "Krazy" As I said before, Welcome to the Twilight Zone-VU Style!

I'm kind of getting annoyed at all this. They can't just give a solid price and date. I mean, they delayed it a week after it's release. What's up with that?

The release of the collections is becoming as unpredictable as the release of TSL.

dark-daventry · February 25, 2006, 09:12:29 AM

Gamespot has an official article on them. Check it out. It's from the 23rd, but if you search, you can find it. (I just went to the thread "so has anyone actually received the compilations" on the VUG Forums...) Still no release date, but now we have official confirmation from gamespot. And check out what they said at the end of the article. It makes me wonder...

You could have instead just copy and pasted the direct URL: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6144828.html

lol! I was about to ask for the direct link!

dark-daventry · February 25, 2006, 10:23:39 AM

Sorry. I was kind of in a hurry... I think... I'll do that next time, though, if I remember! Thanks!

awesomeasapossum · February 25, 2006, 10:44:38 AM

The article says that they don't know which games will be included...I don't want that! I want all of them together! Does VUG understand that?! I don't want SQ 2 SQ 7 and SQ 5!!! I WANT SQ 1-7!!! (I've never played any SQs so if there isn't a seven or something....oops.)

dark-daventry · February 25, 2006, 05:13:11 PM

It's VUG. Ask yourself this one question: Do they understand anything. And another question: Do they know the meaning of Life, The Universe, And everything? (The answer's 42, just in case your wondering...)

Din't he find out the question by taking random Scrabble pieces out of a bag that happened to spell out "WHAT IS SIX TIMES SEVEN"? Don't Panic!

dark-daventry · February 26, 2006, 07:06:23 PM

Actually, I only read the first, and am in the second. I never knew the answer. But when I can, I'm going to finish the Restaurent at the End of the universe. Maybe even tonight...

I'll try not to panic!

FYI: There are six Space Quests --- a seventh is being worked on as freeware www.sq7.org

awesomeasapossum · February 27, 2006, 10:00:48 AM

Thanks. Their artwork almost looks as good as TSLs! And wait...why didn't they get a letter from Vivendi?

dark-daventry · February 27, 2006, 01:46:30 PM

Maybe they don't know about it... Or maybe it's a conspiracy! probably not, but fun to think about!

dew7 · February 27, 2006, 02:02:36 PM

You're welcome. The freeware games that I am looking forward to are QFG 2 redone by AGD, TSL by POS, KQIII redone by infamous adventurers, and SQ7.

dark-daventry · March 04, 2006, 04:54:39 PM

I know this isn't really the right place, but I remember from when TSL was shut down that people wrote to Daniel Oskun, and I remember this statement:

"At this time we do not have enough inquiries from the public at large for us to pass on this information to the Producers of the kings quest game to reconsider this decision to reopen the project."

I'm left wondering what he means by "the producers of the King's Quest game to reconsider"... If you notice, it doesn't say Games, and it leaves me thinking maybe they have another game in the works that isn't known. I'm probably wrong, but it's just what I've noticed, so... If I'm in the wrong place, please direct me to the right place.

And on topic, I sent an e-mail to VU to ask them what's going on with the Compilations. I sent it to the Report Piracy e-mail address, so I might not have the right address...

Yonkey · March 04, 2006, 05:49:50 PM

If I recall correctly, it didn't even say "King's Quest game", it said "king of quest game", so don't bother focusing too much on what the guy wrote.

Based on the horrible grammar and lack of contact information, he was probably just some intern they hired to respond to everyone.

I'm pretty sure they're not working on a ninth game, because they definitely would have announced it if they were. At minimum, they would have told us.

As for the compilations, I have no clue why they're constantly being delayed. $:-\$ However, writing to the Report Piracy address won't get you any answers. Your best bet is probably posting in their forums under the official thread about them.

dark-daventry · March 04, 2006, 07:50:57 PM

I tried. Believe me, the moderators themselves have no idea on the answer. They keep asking for a developer to go on, and no one does. But that's the world of VU. Which I actually respect more now thanks to your revival. If they let you die, I'd hunt them down for the rest of eternity. I could never let my Beloved King's quest die an unfitting end. And all those who help KQ are true fans. I tried to help by writing books of them, which never did so well. I could never get them right, and they never went past two pages. But everyone also helped with the Save KQIX campaign! Thank the powers that be! I love you, POS! (Especially Say!)

dark-daventry · March 05, 2006, 11:20:07 AM

Sorry for double posting, but I saw something on some website regarding this thing. Here it is:

Packaged Height: 150 hundredths-inches
Packaged Length: 750 hundredths-inches
Packaged Weight: 65 hundredths-pounds
Packaged Width: 525 hundredths-inches

Now I'm bad with math, so I can't possibly figure out how big this would be. But maybe some of you can... I also noticed that IGN and Gamespy bumped the release date from January to March 30th... I just hope they don't delay them again. When I get a response from the company, I'll post it, especially if it's a good one that actually explains what I want... We'll see though... I'll update this post with any new developments on these things...

awesomeasapossum · March 05, 2006, 02:15:40 PM

Supposedly the release is March 30th.

dark-daventry · March 05, 2006, 02:27:15 PM

Key word Supposedly... I'd be willing to bet they'll delay these again... Maybe it's "Market Research"... I had seen in some forum that someone said an official KQ9 would be released in 2007. She claimed that her uncle works for the company and did some artwork for it or something... I have a feeling these compilations may have a preview or something in them. But that's just what I think... It's a gut feeling. And if anything significant happens with these, then I'll post it. Like what's in them when they arrive at my house, I'll post the contents and what not...
