What did you love best about KQ?

[KatieHal]

Oh my god, in the original KQ1 the woodcutter and his wife are GIANTS compared to Graham!

[Sir Perceval of Daventry]

Oh my god, in the original KQ1 the woodcutter and his wife are GIANTS compared to Graham!

Graham suffers from Dwarfism.

[Numbers]

Actually, I think according to the original KQ1, the woodcutter is dead.  As I recall, when Graham gives them the bowl of soup, he says something like, "Now we can have one last meal!"  I always imagine Graham thinking, "I wonder if I should tell them they can magically refill that bowl whenever they want?  Nah, they'll figure it out!"  And then leaving them to their fates and going on to continue looting treasure from the people of Daventry.  So yeah.  Woodcutter is definitely dead.

Actually, you're supposed to give them the bowl and then fill it up so they know how it works, thus giving you the maximum score. That's the thing with the first game--there were multiple ways to solve a puzzle. Sure, you can give the filled-up bowl to the woodcutter so he can have his last meal, stab the goat, bribe the troll, knife the dragon, kill the giant, etc. but technically the "correct" solutions (as in, not leaving bodies wherever you go) are what is considered canon.

I had no idea you could kill the goat until I saw Paw do it on the NES version.  Hilarious.

I had no idea until reading this sentence.

I learn new things about these games all the time.  Last week I found out that Alexander can actually poof into an aardvark.

Wee wee! Wee wee!

[Haids1987]

Is that what he's supposed to be? I thought he was just some kind of weird dinosaur creature.

[Bludshot]

Just a guess based on the bookkeeper's comment about the wizard, it was a brief clip. 

How do you even do that?

[Haids1987]

Like this.

[crayauchtin]

I don't think it's any specific creature -- Ali was talking about the wizard, I don't think it connects to the curse on the Beast at all. After all, the Beast isn't really representing any specific creature. And aardvark's do not have those spines on their backs, which are pretty prominent.

[Bludshot]

Oh so it is based on the curse.  The clip I saw was in the pawn shop so I assumed it had something to do with improper map use.

I had no idea the beast thing was actually timed.

[Haids1987]

It's entertaining, isn't it? Poor Alex.

[GrahamRocks!]

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

[Bludshot]

Didn't Beast want him to be a slave? What is a Stegosaurus going to accomplish?

[Haids1987]

And now you know, and knowing is half the battle!

GI JOE!!! American heroooooooooo!

Didn't Beast want him to be a slave? What is a Stegosaurus going to accomplish?

Being a Stegosaurus, of course! You thought they were all extinct, but Beast proved you entirely wrong! I mean, who wouldn't want their very own dinosaur?

[GrahamRocks!]

I'd want a Drago or a Riding Saurus.

Anyone know what those two are from respectfully? *smirk*

[crayauchtin]

Didn't Beast want him to be a slave? What is a Stegosaurus going to accomplish?

The Beast *wants* him to lift the curse, that's why he warns him that he's going to turn into a weird creature stegosaurus thing if he doesn't hurry.

[Haids1987]

I thought you were fun, Cray. (<-----Read that in a whiny voice.)

[Bludshot]

That doesn't sound right at all Cray, clearly the Isle of the Beast was intended to be the future location of Jurassic Park.
