What was your first KQ?

[Storm]

There are some puzzles... there are just no good puzzles and they tend to drown in all the fightings

  I dont know if it was KQ1 or KQ2 but my PC at the time was a 286 with 4 mg ram. And Rosella had to clean the cottage of the 7 dwarfs (or something like that) I remember it would take her like 20 minutes to finish the job. Soon after that I went to a 386 with 16 mg ram and she could clean the cottage in like 2 minutes. I absolutely loved the KQ series of games until KQvii I hated that one is was all shoot-em and killing my teenage boys loved it though. Thank you for bringing back the series if you make them like you did before KQvii you will have a fan for life!!!

Welcome mscann!  

I think you're referring to KQ4.    Unfortunately, I never had that game on my own computer so I don't remember how long it took Rosella to clean.

Welcome mscann!! hope you enjoy your stay here ; )

Welcome mscann!!Oh, hey, that was fun! I should do that more often, I like the move-y-ness.
Yeah, you're talking about KQ4.  I always put the speed up as much as possible for that part (using the + key increased the speed and you could make her go crazy fast...I wish I could clean that fast, people could live in my house sanely because I'd actually clean it!!)
Yeah, MoE was not really a KQ as far as I'm concerned, although I've never tried it.  KQ9 will be, they keep saying, more of a TRUE KQ.  Three cheers for people who know what we want to see!  YAY! YAY! YAY!

Welcome to the forum, mscann!!

I think you're referring to KQVIII, not KQVII, or as we prefer to call it here, MOE (for its subtitle "Mask Of Eternity")  
Disliking MOE is not uncommon here
The KQ9 team already stated that their game will be like the earlier King's Quest games and not like MOE, which means no shooting and killing

my first KQ game was KQ6. I still remember having the BLUE (not black) covered sliding box with gold lettering and i forget how many floppies inside with instructions on how to install the game. Then a few years later I bought some kind of huge cd pack with so many games i never played. one cd that caught my eye was a plain looking cd with yellow cursive text saying King's Quest V on it...remembering KQ6 and being curious, I popped in the CD and played KQ5.

anyways...just found this site and wanted to express my support for all you guys! i also just found a similar space quest project website through this website...hope both games get released! :-)

KQI for DOS.

KQ6. IIRC, it came free with one of our first computers.

[Ashrie]

My first KQ was 4, back in 1992... One day I come home from school to discover my dad unpacking this really big box. It turned out to be an Amiga 500, and it had all these games within the package, KQ4 being one of them.

The first time I played KQ4, I thought Rosella was really brave, and I (in my eight year old mind) really wanted to be like her   But, I could never pass the part where you had to go through that cave under the waterfall, because of that icky monster and that darkness *shivers at memory lol* or I would never go to the forest parts where that troll would unexpectedly come, and drag you away by your braids. I thought that was so horrible!  

Anyways,  I moved to Uruguay in that year, bringing along the pc. I also played Colonel's Bequest back then(does anyone know how I can find a copy of this game now ?)

When I came back to Australia (in 1995), we left the computer back there, and so we bought another one. When I saw that the computer store in my suburb had KQ5, I was ecstatic. I begged my parents for it  

About a year later, KQ7 came out, so naturally, I whined to my parents I wanted it hehehe. Then, the KQ collection came out, and when I got that, I was so happy to be able to play kq4 again. Then I finished it, and went along to finish all the others...

My faves though have to be (naturally hehehe) KQ4, 6, & 7... KQ3 I only finished this year in fact lol, 'cause i couldn't figure out a way to do things at the certain times... did anyone else have probs with that timer thingy? Since then I've played other adventure games, but apart from the Myst series, I didn't really like any others... back in 92, I read the sierra catalogues, and always wanted to play Space Quest and Leisure Suit Larry, but I never did *sighs*

Ahh this is a long post... I'll leave it at that
C-ya,

[racx_00]

I got KQ6 and Legend of Kyrandia from my Aunty for a birthday present

[Stones Of Stealth]

trying to stay on topic..first kings quest was number 4..i decided that i might aswell finish it because the trolls were cool..i was only 7 then i played to 6 when i was 7-10 years old. 6 was the best and now im 12 and playing 7(worst oen besides MoE) 8 and 9. lol ..ives played them all at one point in time the only one i havent completed is the unreleased oens

[Jafar]

I first played KQ1SCI, but KQ6 was the first one I had the nerve to finish.(I used to be scared of Adventure games )

[Swift]

KQ5 was the first I played, but KQ7 was the first game that I finished. In fact, KQ5 was the very first adventure game that I played, and because I was such a newbie back then, I was stuck at the early part of the game.

[SebasC]

My first Kings Quest 3... i was like 10 or 11 years old.. and my uncle and when i started playing i was directly hooked to the game and ever since hooked on adventure gaming
